What if your community took in half of them, like that town in Ohio that ended up with 30,0000 Somalis who are now telling the original inhabitants how to live? I don't know why we have to take in every last loser and piece of human dreck from the entire world. I thought we were over there fighting so they would have a chance to live in a decent society on their native soil.
hey I understand providing for war refugees - but sure sounds dangerous
"...a tiny % of our population.."
Maybe so, but I doubt if you'd approve of them moving enmasse to your neighborhood.
America just hit population 300 million. Number 300 million is the son of immigrants. We don't need any more immigrants.
It seems like a tiny number, but these types of refugee policies are often nothing but trouble. The state department has a history of intentionally planting them in towns that they deem to be insufficiently "diverse."
When a community of 10,000 farmers in rural Kansas becomes a community of 10,000 farmers plus 7,000 muslim refugees, things are prone to get real tense real quick.
And quite frankly, who could blame them? It's not as if the non-refugees had lived for decades along side a historical and growing local muslim community that has assimilated already and will assist in the assimilation of new muslim arrivals. Instead it's the government coming in and telling them that they have to become "multi-cultural" by the next year and dumping a mosque in the center of their town.
