" ... refugees are often just scams, many have no need to come here ... "

[ you have data for this of course? ]

" ... and if they're coming only to end up on welfare then we don't need them. "

[ and we don't 'NEED' the homeless, the unemployed, the sick, the handicapped, the mentally ill or disabled, the poor; but we take care of them, hopefully in a way that preserves or restores dignity and humanity. We don't NEED bigots either, but we defend to the death their right to speak as they do.]

"If they can't speak English and make it on their own here by working then they're better off [?!] in their homelands."

[ ( As I said to 'gueroloco'): Oh, yes: much worse to be on welfare (and perhaps only for a while) than to be persecuted, terrorized, and possibly tortured or murdered .... (P.S. They NO LONGER HAVE a homeland!) ]

Oh, yes: much worse to be on welfare

Our Constitution never turned our government into a giant charity. There is no right of any refugee to my money unless I choose to give it to them. There is another option for these so called persecuted people ---fix up their countries, the USA and a couple other countries can't be the only places in the world for people to live. Our Founding Fathers did it, instead of escaping tyranny and becoming welfare refugees in some other country, they fought and died to become free.
