Having pictures/video that are NOT New Orleans or Syrian refugees arriving in New Orleans being repeatedly portrayed as an actual event that just occurred is false. There have been whole sub-threads based on those photographs where some apparently think that is downtown New Orleans. If so, there is no way that it would not be plastered on the news. It is inaccurate and we don’t have to resort to that to express our disagreement.

This administration had a big hand in creating the mess in Syria (and the Middle East) and I think taking in any refugees is unwise. I think it is problematic for the government to make any agreement in the shadows with the UN to take “x number” of refugees. I think it is problematic for the Fed government to relocate refugees to any state without that states consent, knowledge, or cooperation. I don’t know who or what is coming nor does anyone else outside those directly involved.

With that said, we can truthfully express our disagreement with what is supposedly happening without making false representations that others might believe to be true or that are easily disproved by a simple google search. We call out others on that all the time so we must correct ourselves or we look bad. We are right. We should not destroy our credibility when we are right by making false representations.

Excuse me, where did I advocate "making false representations"?
