Trump: I Will Build ‘a Big Beautiful Safe Zone’ in Syria for Refugees
Breitbart ^ | November 17th, 2015 | by Pam Key

Posted on 11/17/2015 1:52:40 PM PST by Mariner

Monday night at a rally in Knoxville, TN, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said instead of bringing refugees to the United States he would build a “big, beautiful safe zone” in Syria.

Trump said, “What I like is build a safe zone in Syria. Build a big, beautiful safe zone, and you have whatever it is so people can live, and they’ll be happier.”

Her added, “So You keep ’em in Syria. You build a tremendous safe zone, it’ll cost you tremendously much less, much less, and they’ll be there and the weather’s the same. And the weather is the same and then when this horrible situation that is so horrible run. We don’t know what we are doing. When its all over they move back and they go back into their cities, and they rebuild there cities. And they start out and they start over again.”

Its sounds nice to say but it isn’t a solution.

I’ll explain it in easier to understand, less politically correct terms.

He’s talking about turning part or all of Syria into a colony. We run it, the Syrians live there.

UAE meets Hong Kong. It’s doable. I especially like the parts where Friday Happy Hour is mandated by law. Two for one cocktails at every (former) mosque.

“Does anyone notice that Trump like to use the word “Beautiful” every time he talks about building something?”

His other favorite words are, “great” and “stupid”. Anyone who has the least difference of opinion to his, is, “stupid” and everything he promises to do is “great”, the “greatest”.

Keep them in Syria, or seed the planet with millions of these folks. The choice is not complex.

Wait a minute. Who pays for this “beautiful” safe zone?


Why nobody does.

We just add it to our deficit and our grandchildren pay for it. Oh, wait they are already tapped out for our current one.

Our gggrandchildren pay for it. There you go.

Specifics are always helpful, though, aren’t they?

The dirty little lie here is that Trump never gives specifics. You should throw out your false premise, instead of repeating the lie hoping people believe it.

"A safe zone would be quite easy at the bottom of some of their deeper mineshafts. Dwelling space for several hundred thousands of their people could easily be provided. Also when . . . when they go down into the mine, the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!"

It is not the same thing as a no fly zone. He is merely saying he would spend money to help build safe accommodations THERE, not here. He is correct. This is one of the best positions he has.

I’m not a Trump fanboi.

That said, this is a very good idea. Spend our money and resources creating a safe zone “over there” to put Syrian refugees. Give them food and water and shelter and medical care. And then when the war is over, they’ll more easily re-integrate back into normal Syrian life. In the long run, this will be much cheaper than flying them over here, with no expectation that they’ll ever return to Syria ...

He is right about this. He is just saying that we as a nation can help without bringing them over here.

"Frankly, it's about time someone came up with an idea that could work for the refugees, and keep them off our front porch."

I don't believe it's necessary to build and enforce a safe zone in Syria to keep Jihadis out of America. We can do that with smart immigration law.

Then, look at the perils of a "safe zone".

How do you keep bad guys from infiltrating and carrying out operations? How do you prevent Russia from striking when that "safe zone" hosts AL Nusra...or ISIS?

Does anyone remember the eventual state of the Palestinian Refugee camps?

I suggest there is a FAR better alternative: Join Russia in rebuilding the Assad regime and, perhaps, do a one-time ground operation to encircle and destroy ISIS.

Then get out when the dogs are still barking and the rubble still smolders.

I believe you will find he wants the Mideast counties to pay for it......
....many of them are rolling in money.....and we send billions.

He has the idea, but he wants them to pay for it.

I LIKE IT!

I left Trump after he mentioned the words “Child Molester” in a remark about Ben Carson. Even though he did not call Carson a child molester, the sub-conscious inference was made. He is such a creepy, little, spoiled rich boy. If he is the nominee, this 53 second video will sink him and the Hildebeast will be President.
