Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says an 1883 poem requires Americans to accept huge numbers of Muslim refugees who are fleeing the jihad-shattered wreckage of their home nations and region.
“We’re Americans… [and] Americans have welcomed people in the past who have been fleeing oppression,” the Republican from South Carolina told host Tucker Carlson on FOX & Friends. “Go read [the 1883 poem] on the Statue of Liberty.”
Carlson was skeptical. “Is allowing any refugees at all into this country in the best interest of Americans?” Carlson asked. “It sounds like the overwhelming majority of these refugees, at least the ones fleeing Syria, are men. Probably a lot of them are [ex-] combatants… Why is it in the interest of Americans to have them come here?”
“Two hundred and thirty thousand people have been killed in Syria. Women are being gang-raped by the thousands, so I would like to think that America is a special place,” Graham, one of 16 GOP presidential candidates, insisted.
Graham’s colleague Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) admitted that ISIS will likely try to send jihadis into the U.S. to take advantage of America’s generosity. “You gotta know who these people are… They have to be carefully examined before they would have any chance of entering the United States,” McCain cautioned. “If I were Mr. [ISIS leader Abu Bakr] Baghdadi I might be sending a few of my recruits as refugees to be able to come to United States.”

So Linda wants to bomb everyone but let these guys in at the same time?
I say she needs to get her priorities figured out.
Pillow biting Lindsey the Social Justice Warrior of the Right, comes to lecture us about white racism, yay.
He’s an amazingly moronic poofter. I expect more from the South Carolina voter.
Once again, Italian, Irish, Jewish, Polish, German immigrants did not come here while their country was waging a war against Christians and calling for the death of Americans.
Slight difference.
Well, the Jews who were able to get here in the years before or during WWII were escaping our enemy, but it was PRETTY safe to assume there were no pro german men in that group.
What about people who are BRINGING oppression to the US? Do we welcome them too?
Oh, and do you have a spare room in your house, Linda? Why don't you take a few of them in and show the world what a great person you are. Maybe your polling will erupt to at least 2%.
He is as dumb as he looks.
Lindsey ,,,,,, Living proof there’s no cure for friggin’ STUPID .
Send all these muzzies to South Carolina. They keep electing fools like Lindsey.
NO f-ing muslim refugees
ZERO !
This....faggot wants to harbor terrorists based off a pretty poem?
What a handkerchief waver this guy is.
Let the Muslim countries take them in!
Why doesn’t Linda officially drop the “R” and become a donkey?
Did Muslims have bombs and box cutters in 1883?
The poem was placed on the Statue of Liberty in 1903, un-sanctioned, by Emma Lazarus. Originally, the Statue of Liberty (dedicated 1886) was given to the United States by France to celebrate liberty and had nothing to do with immigration.
Repobate minds, doing those things which to anyone with common sensibilities knows is wrong, this is reprobate, that is, being devoid of sound judgement and reason,
We’re told straightway this would come,
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; “ Romans 1:28
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” Hosea 4:6
That demonic spirit inside obama and empowering the left and their enabler sycophants like mccain, graham, boener, christie and jeb bush etc., knows its fighting a war,
They will set out to destroy the soft targets in the beginning (Confederate flags and flooding legions of migrants to overwhelm the system and global warming fear mongering as an excuse for generating even more onerous laws and government authority over those who still think their free in this land) then they’ll come after what really matters:
Preventing any place for believers to stand alone with God without first going through the all powerful corrupt state, which will now require that unclean spirirt obama to smile approvingly at you before your permitted to take a seat on your church pew (this has started with the supreme court ruling on marriage) this is a beast rising up. Its Isaiah Chapter 5.
And the only ones that could even hope to stand against it, bible believing Christians, too many of them still don’t realize whats happening, they think its a war against the likes of middle eastern terrorists/ISIS somewhere far away from their doorsteps, it is now at their front door and they want in, Senator Graham wants to help them to get in,
We battle not against flesh and blood,
“The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.” Deuteronomy 28
I’ve said it before: “The New Colussus,” Emma Lazarus’ famous poem, is a sentiment, not policy.
Bout the only thing this butt head is qualified to do is a towel boy at any local male bath house.
Graham and Mc Cain never meet a terrorist they didn’t thin was a freedom fighter
