I'm shocked by some of responses

1. Someone said what if they are terrorists- besides the blatant racism , maybe you should join the republican party you bigot

2. To those who are opposed - do you feel the same when Hispanics come to our border ?

3. When my fellow human being is need we should do what we can to help them out.

It ain't that easy AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #17

We took in a fair number of Vietnamese refugees and it wasn't a "long, long process" FSogol Sep 2015 #19

That was pre 9-11 AgingAmerican Sep 2015 #21

Remind me, which group of immigrants or refugees caused 9/11? FSogol Sep 2015 #23

Why 67K? How was that number chosen? HereSince1628 Sep 2015 #50

Read his statement JustAnotherGen Sep 2015 #52

If Germany does it we can do it really doesn't address the question of the number HereSince1628 Sep 2015 #53

Might be a good question for Senator Sanders JustAnotherGen Sep 2015 #54

Maybe, I'm not opposed to such, but on issue, O'Malley came up with the number. HereSince1628 Sep 2015 #55

Match Germany. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2015 #51

The 800k number I saw seemed to be for Germany's acceptance of refugees from all disasters HereSince1628 Sep 2015 #56

No, but I'd bet we don't accept 800k from all disasters a year either. nt Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2015 #57

Maybe, I suppose we dont count undocumented immigrants from Latin America as refugees HereSince1628 Sep 2015 #58

I don't think you can count them as 'refugees' when if we catch them, we deport them. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Sep 2015 #59

I think we are faced with, and on the verge of accepting they -are- refugees HereSince1628 Sep 2015 #60
