TRUMP: US SHOULD ‘HELP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,’ WITH REFUGEE CRISIS, ‘POSSIBLY’ LET SOME IN
Breitbart ^ | 5 SEPT 2015 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 09/07/2015 12:37:22 PM PDT by South40

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that while “There’s only so much we can do. We have to fix our own country” the US should “help as much as possible” with the European refugee crisis and “possibly” let some refugees into the US on Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Trump was asked about the European refugee crisis and, “Should we be letting some of those people into this country?”

He answered, “So horrible on a humanitarian basis when you see that. It’s like incredible what’s going on. But, you know, we have so many problems. And the answer is possibly yes, Cokie, possibly yes.

how many of those refugees are Christians?

They have been physically tortured.

They have been beheaded.

The survivors are persecuted and raped.

Those refugees in the USA? I think they would help the limousine liberals see the ugly enemy.

Couldn’t disagree more. When despotic, morally vacant governments and their brainwashed populations act in a way that threatens our interests and security, we are within our rights to respond and that’s all we ever did, respond. There’s no way we’re responsible for instilling the abhorrent behavior and beliefs of the muslims and their governments. These are a people in a perpetual tailspin of despair and instability wrought by an ancient self-destructive belief system. Their plight was inevitable in whatever form it was going to take. It is when we finally pulled back, under the great obambi, that we see what unchecked sharia and pure islamic conduct does to nations and their people. Add a dose of bleeding heart liberalism and a welfare-padded welcome mat and you get... Germany. Our hands are clean and our conscience is free to be clear - save for the fact that our leaders are pushing us over the same cliff.

“Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), were all present at the hearing and unanimously expressed support for opening up the U.S. to more Syrian Refugees.”

Bottom line is Trump can't make any decision ....he doesn't know the dynamics of what's happening from the European push to integrate the populations...most don't. I think he knows there's more to this then simply determining if or not we will accept refugees.....when in fact there's no reason to unless he's on board with the Global Utopia plan of integrating third world countries into western countries.....which by the way IS the NWO order plan to control the masses.

Trump knows he doesn't have all the particulars, or perhaps he doesn't know at all.........yet stupid press and journalist are pushing this refugee issue as a humanitary issue when it is an 'orchestrated and deliberate movement of population' by the UN and NWO adherents withe Germany as the main staging area to weed them out..the prize of course is Germany gets to keep the best of the best.

I see no proof Cruz is for bringing Muslim refugees here, certainly not your copy-pasting of some crap. Your thread suggesting he was has been yanked

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3334374/posts?page=12

All Cruz has said is we should help them, he specifically says it doesn’t make sense to bring them here.

https://www.tedcruz.org/news/cruz-we-need-to-address-the-cause-of-the-migrant-crisis/

A further point, Cruz could come out in favor of it, Ronald Reagan could rise from the dead and come in in favor it, and it wouldn’t absolve Donald Trump for being in favor of it. It’s the wrong position, period. Maybe Cruz said something differently a year ago, I don’t know, you haven’t proved he has, it appears to me you’re just trying to bash him. In any case, that statement is recent and Trump’s comments are recent. Fail to you, fail to Trump.

“In terms of settling the migrants, if the ultimate goal is to return them to their homes, which I believe it should be, it doesn’t make sense from a logistical or a security standpoint to move large numbers of them to far-off countries like the United States.

Even Trump didn’t give what I would call a resounding endorsement:

Your welcome, I saw you posted on the deleted thread.

“Even Trump didn’t give what I would call a resounding endorsement:”

Fair enough. Given time to consider specifics I hope that he and anyone who may entertain the idea comes to the conclusion that it’s a bad one.

Yes. I also fear that many of the so-called “refugees” are actually terrorists, and am relieved that Trump recognizes that we’re already in terrible financial straits.

‘Our hands are clean and our conscience is free to be clear’—really? One example—Libya. Tell me of the threat. Please. Because of that action, we helped with the expansion of ISIS by creating a vacuum. With that action WE are responsible for the deaths of OUR service people in Afghanistan via the escape of US Stingers and MANPADS from the Libyan ‘rebels’ to the Afghan theater. Because of that action we removed the ‘gatekeeper’ of North African immigrants to Southern Europe. Because of OUR actions we contributed to the absolute chaos that now rules Libya and the subsequent refugee problem from that country. Further, who are we to tell others about ‘moral vacancy’??

“‘Our hands are clean and our conscience is free to be clear’—really?”

Yes dent, they are. There was no threat from Libya, that’s my point. None of action you cite occurred from a consensus of WE Americans. To borrow from 15 years of democrat mantra; “Obama’s fault.” None of what went on in Libya happened by accident. It was calculated to work toward destabilization of the region in favor of the muslim brotherhood and AGAINST THE INTEREST OF THE US. No one is that stupid to allow the perfect storm of incompetency that resulted in Libya, ISIS, Syria and things yet to come. Obama and the democrats were firmly in control and orchestrated this ill-advised, illegal and calculated action back then and they showed no hesitation to do whatever they could to help our enemies. We sent aid to Al Qaeda for cryin’ out loud! No real American with half a brain would justify that!!! The brotherhood nodded, Obama complied and we got Benghazi. It is a crime against America from within and we bear no responsibility for any of it or its consequences. You don’t get it. The consensus of America did not do what you so desperately want us to claim responsibility for.

In case you lost sight, our country has the ability to paste ISIS and the whole of the muslim brotherhood against the wall in less than a month but the majority of consensus has been marginalized by the entrenched liberal establishment. WE Americans are suppressed because our enemies have occupied the white house and infiltrated our government and reinforced by a propagandist media. That’s an outlandish statement of fact, unfortunately. And if you’re not too full of self-hatred and self-loathing perhaps you would muster just enough want for the truth to Google ‘muslim brotherhood in the obama administration’ yourself and read up.

A lot of stupid idiots voted for our asshole-in-chief but they did so out of ignorance. If they had been duly informed by the complicit media, no one would have willingly voted for what we got - a gang of anti-American criminals hell-bent of destroying us from within. They use our benevolence, our decency and our charity against us.

We owe the world and particularly these “refugees” jack sh!t, period. (Refugees my ass. Where are the women, children and old men?) What we do owe ourselves is to rid the country from the pestilence of Obama, liberalism, and to mobilize a fraction of our military might and, with the pre-existing consensus of WE Americans, through the certainty of our moral superiority, wipe ISIS from the future of this world, chop the legs off Turkey and anyone else who did business with ISIS and/or the brotherhood, and then install strong men in every mideast suck hole. Then we can deport or kill our internal enemies to ensure no one flies airplanes into our buildings again. And if YOU don’t understand that WE Americans still have a greater moral superiority over ISIS and the human refuse walking across mountains to destroy Europe, then you need to spend more time posting on DU than here.
