Lindsey Graham: Pretty Poem Says USA Must Adopt Unknown Muslim Men From Jihad-Syria

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.”

Import? Why? For target practice?

A lot of Jews were turned away by FDR. One ship was refused entry and returned to Germany, and their deaths. Emma Lazarus' poem didn't do them any good. Yet now these stupid politicians want us to take in moslems who are already acting like rabid dogs in Europe. No, no, no!

Lindsey Graham is a stupid man; a stereotypical metrosexual brainless twit who thinks style is more important than substance. I think the people have suffered enough from "leaders" like Graham. We need builders, creators, businessmen, engineers - Brave Men Who Know How To Create Wealth.

Did Muslims have bombs and box cutters in 1883?

I'm sure they had bombs. The box cutters might have been a bit bigger
