Shunning the refugees isn’t the answer to terror...it’s merely a response to bad foreign policy.
What is *causing* the refugee crisis in the first place?
ANSWER: Obama is funding and fighting (50 USA troops on the ground inside Syria) a war against Syria’s President Assad.
Assad, in turn, is fighting against ISIS.
Hmmm...
It’s a terrible war. Hundreds of thousands already killed, and over 7 million Syrians have been displaced by it.
Well, they had to go...somewhere.
And in classic Obama form, he was up in Alaska fishing when the UN voted to cut the food + medicine budget to the UN refugee camps that were holding the Syrian refugees.
Ooops.
...so the Syrians had to move again. Lots of them have been fleeing the refugee camps to Europe and now Europe wants the USA to take some of them.
But Boston was just bombed (marathon) by refugees from Chechnya’s civil war and Paris was just bombed and attacked by Syrian refugees plus 2nd generation Belgian and Parisian immigrants, so some parts of the USA are justly concerned about importing more civil war refugees here.
Pause
So that brings us up to date. With Obama’s war efforts to oust Assad still on-going, the refugee crisis will likewise continue.
Even if we accepted all of the refugees today, because Obama is making it worse, more refugees will soon come calling.
This is a boat with a hole in it. Obama refuses to patch the hole...while liberals are demanding that everyone hold a cup of the incoming water.
That’s not sustainable.
First you patch the hole in the boat by stopping Obama’s ridiculous efforts to overthrow Assad.
Then...you at least take in the elderly, crippled, women, and orphaned young children.
Only *AFTER* all of the above can we debate the fate of fighting-age male refugees.
Very few are of that description .You make a very telling point here. The overwhelming number of young able bodied males surely should indicate something else is afoot. I have seen videos on a Canadian web site (SDA) of these men shouting in Arabic. The translations were of absolute contempt for western society. They claimed the west is "sterile" and they will re-populate it.
How different are they from the 1950's when I came to Canada from England. There were real refugees who were very eager to fit in and enjoy freedom. They had the name of "displaced persons". Not always welcomed but they mostly integrated well.
