Let me beat the anti-immigration zealots to the punch and say that I am glad they are coming.
I wish them well.
I too am OK with genuine asylum seekers, not the sham-farudster variety that we see a lot of in the UK...
Also, I hope these Burundi chaps aren't muzlim....
Why not take in all the refugees from Sudan? Why not take in all the refugees everywhere? Where do you draw the line?
Really nice. - How many are you inviting to stay with your family?
I haven't seen too many anti-immigration zealots on FR. I have seen a number of anti-illegal-alien zealots. Count me among them.
These refugees are absolutely welcome, IMO. I would offer to have some in my home, if needed.

Even the Europeans are seeing the error of their ways concerning immigration. They had *good* intentions too.
I am not a zealot, but I have begun to wonder why, when anything goes wrong anywhere, the United States has to take in and maintain the refugees. These people, asylees, become eligible for every welfare benefit known to man, including money for small business start-ups that is not available to American citizens. I'll bet no one consulted the Amercian communities to which they will be relocated if those communities want to be permanently changed.
