I listened to an immigration apologist try to explain why we should bring in hundreds of thousands of Muslims into this country. His arguements came down to two.
1. They need help, so we should help them.
2. We get credit from other nations for doing this.
Both seem without merit to me. There are billions of people on the planet that need help. If we bring them to the U.S., the U.S. will be destroyed.
I fail to see that we get any worthwhile “credit” for bringing in refugees. Half the world hates us on trumped up conspiracies. They will not like us because we bring in some refugees.
“1. They need help, so we should help them.”
We already help most of the world with billions of taxpayer dollars every year. Time to demand some results for our money.
“2. We get credit from other nations for doing this.”
Most of the world hates us because we have been strong, successful and prosperous.
The Arab states only want us to take in their troublemakers so the ruling class can live safely and high on the hog, just like Mexico.
The same European nations that disparage and denigrate us when things are going well will run to us when their chestnuts need to pulled from the fire. And then they go right back to badmouthing us when they are safe.
Enough.
That argument holds no water.
