Why would he be coming to a state with no jobs?

Maybe there are jobs for a guy who doesn't have the atttiude that he won't get off his rear end for less than $35/hr.

Any Iraqi immigrants to America should be asked to swear off islam as a condition of immigration .

Immigration documents should ask the question :
“are you a moslem “ as they used to ask
“are you a nazi or are you a communist “

I do not mind allowing the people but I am 100% opposed to allowing any further islamic influence into our country or our society . It is a cancer upon the fabric of humanity and we do not need it here . Enough! No more mosques , no more islamic subversion .

We’d better take one last long look at our beautiful country before it turns ugly. Thanks Congress, you’re the institution that made this country in your image.

Abbas had best be brushing up on his Spanish if he’s coming to America.

Probably Sunnis fleeing the Shia... In other words, the folks who supported Saddam and helped kill our troops.

They’re coming here, ‘cause the Sunnis are taking their revenge.

Figures.

You stand corrected. Dearborn (a suburb of Detroit) is #1 per capita of Arab descent ‘citizens’ outside of the middle east.

Races in Dearborn:

White Non-Hispanic (84.8%)
Two or more races (9.4%)
Hispanic (3.0%)
Black (1.3%)
Other race (0.7%)
American Indian (0.6%)
Asian Indian (0.5%)

The 3’rd paragraph is a humdinger.

Michigan has all kinds of jobs, but a hell of a lot of lazy residents find it easier to collect unemployment.

Dearborn, just out of Detroit, has a very large and fairly well-established Iraqi population. I'd be more surprised if the incoming 'fugees settled elsewhere.

“Refugees from what?
Their country is liberated.”

Amen. I’m sorry, but my son and his buddies didn’t die so that it would be safe for this guy and his family to pack up and head to the Baghdad airport. They gave their lives so folks like this would have a fair chance of standing on their own feet, not coming here to await a last stand.

I never understood why Middle Easterners always choose Michigan out of all the states, I know why they do now because of the already present communities, I mean before that. You would think they would chose places with similar climates, like how Minnesota has people of Nordic descent, or if not atleast places with decent economic growth and jobs. Why not places like Arizona Nevada Los Angelas, Texas is hot and has oil haha.

Refugees will be your well educated crowd...like Saddam’s scientist.

Maybe Duelfer can talk to them in peace.

Largest Muslim population in country. If I am not mistaken I think the Canadian born Governor wanted them. The state is not in bad enough shape—they need more poverty.

His biggest worry is his wife, who doesn’t speak English.

He’s in luck. Dell Computer is waiting to hire her as a tech support call rep.

Yeah but they would have to move to India or the Philippines if she took the job

“How many bad guys will infiltrate this humanitarian effort?”

Dubya couldn’t produce any WMDs after a search of Iraq.
But apparently he’s willing to grant admission to the USA for some of them.

(Sorry, I’m supportive of Dubya on many issues...but his immigration
insanity and today’s cloture vote has me hyped up!)

Will Suzanne, almost a year old and born in Jordan, ever learn Arabic?

Heck, little Suzanne should not learn Arabic, let her learn English. And that applies to the rest of them. My families soon forgot their German and Cherokee and did fine.

Here come Iraqi’s.
How much longer before we have Israeli's fleeing from the battle with Hamas.
Mr Olmert might want to think things over and seriously start on protecting, with a plan and with force, his country from losing to Hamas in the coming, on ground and in the mind, takeover.

"How will we ensure that we aren't going to be bitten in the ass by this?

You should already be feeling the discomfort that comes from anal rape.

As far as the remedy goes, be prepared to "2nd amendment" it, you have no other alternative. Welcome to the third world.

Michigan can't even support the people they have there now.....which is why there's been an ongoing exodus for years from the state.

The familiar factory whistles heard for decades in Detroit and other industrial cities will eventually be replaced by loudspeakers' calls to prayer five times a day.

Covered wagon trains of yore will be updated to Mayflower moving vans, packed U-Hauls and jammed family cars hitting the interstates for points south and west.

Last non-Muslims out of Michigan, turn off the church bells.

Frankly, the Iraqi refugees are unwanted here. Let them go someplace else, Nigeria maybe.
