how they do the vetting process. Single men only make up 2% of those allowed status in the US - that's probably a good start. I honestly don't know how anyone can look at what's happening in Europe and think their open door policy is a good idea - criminals taunting the police saying they can't be arrested, finding people with several sets of identification papers and not arresting them. Because it's almost impossible to deport them back to a war zone, the answer is investigating their claims of oppression BEFORE they let them in. That can't possibly be a controversial process unless you don't give a shit about who comes in which would equal exactly nobody.

This story was about Europe. If someone else wants to change the subject, that's not my problem but again shows that some here will change the subject when I or anyone else posts any stories that make people uncomfortable. It happens time and time again from those dishonest enough to try.
