And the migrants fleeing the horror of Syria are not coming in peace? By shutting out the migrants, we’re playing right into the hands of ISIS — they want to be the only ones those in the Middle East can turn to. That they control us with fear raises the ugly presence of our American cowardice.
Excuse me…but liberals have left one crucial element out of their arguments on the issue of immigration.Why would the Syrian refugees want to come here?1. According to the Left, America is not the land of opportunity; it’s been taken over by Wall Street, and one can no longer be a success here.2. Freedom of speech and religion are no longer a factor. The extremists say we must quash these in the name of protecting liberals’ “safe spaces”(example: the Dartmouth library attack).3. Safety from violent oppression? Not if we let terrorists in the country.So, lefties, before you bust your shirt buttons with pride, why should these people want to come here?
I thought about replying to manteo and tom, but since they have provided nothing but straw-man arguments to try to score points, there’s no point, really.If Christian charity is a foreign idea to you, let alone compassion more generally, we’re simply never going to agree as to why refugees taking the initiative to flee Daesh and come here might make good Americans, regardless of party.
No no no Mike, It’s only foreigners who are terrorists…The Pilgrims had a right to infest this land due to white privilege and manifest destiny. If it’s WHITE it’s alright! If it’s BROWN shut it down.

If we let ISIS subvert our democratic principles, they win.

This has no relevance to the current situation. These migrants came in peace.

Mike, you sure this is the image you want? Letting the ‘refugee’ pilgrims in did not end well for the Native Americans.
