Why not take in all the refugees from Sudan? Why not take in all the refugees everywhere? Where do you draw the line?
I am one of those horrible people who says let them all in.
I do favor the government working at re-settlement. I think churches should have very permissive cooperation for bringing in such individuals.
Empirically, I think the evidence for immigration good is overwhelming. I don't want immigrants to bomb us etc. or sneak in as terrorists but I think some of the easiest work we can do in the WOT is allow people to escape these despicable governments.
The overwhelming majority of immigrants will make better citizens that those who were born here. We know this given the large percentage of medal of honor winners in the Iraq war that are immigrants.
I saw a couple that must have been from the Sudan the other day. They are the polar opposite of the Asian or (fill in the blank successful immigrant story). Whereas the Asian chunks everything including name to try and fit in, these people keep their clothes and customs like they never left. Put me down for don't want them. the couple I saw looked like something out of The Omega Man starring Charleton Heston. Moon faces and covered head to toe in white martyrs robes and the odd tufted head burka thingie. Screw that. We don't need people whe want to rub our faces in it. Diversity that is. We get why they went to that extreme in Africa. The Muslims came in, saw people looking like they were straight from the National Geographic shoot and said COVER YOURSELF YOU FREAKING ANIMALS. So they did. At gunpoint no doubt. We aren't Sub Sahara Africa. Get with our program please. Ditch the crap that sets you apart and try to fit in. Just a little, mmkay?
