Quote:Guys, refugees aren't a bunch of terrorists in disguise just waiting to infiltrate the US, form terrorist cells, and execute long thought-out plans to blow themselves up strategically.

Those are first world issues for rich kids raised in Egypt, the Emirates or Saudi Arabia. Refugees just want people to stop killing and raping them. Some food and a warm place to sleep for a month or two would be nice.

For those of you who think I missed the point of TAM's post, this is what I got out of it:

1. Iran sucks, essentially because of nationalism. Maybe we shouldn't go down that path.

2. Refugees love their new country, hate their old one. That's why they left in the first place. Maybe we should take a few in.

3. Iran, like some other countries have a bunch of reasonable people in them that would really like a better life in a better country, and can bring a lot to that country. Maybe we're missing out when they go to Canada or the UK instead.

TAM is welcome to correct me.

My own story involves fleeing Jamaica when it went through it's own nationalistic movement in the late 70s. A guy named Michael Manley came to power promising to make Jamaica great. Guess what? He didn't. He had his own bogeyman to blame for why not all Jamaicans were finding prosperity, and that bogeyman looked an awful lot like me and my family. He drove a lot of us to Canada, the UK, and of course, the U.S. Some of us stayed and rode it out, but the country never really recovered. I'm glad I'm here, but you'll pardon me if I don't keep quiet while I see a scene from my past replaying itself in the greatest nation on earth.

I'm sure Germany and Sweden appreciate all the love the migrants are bringing to their countries. I hope they don't have anymore sexual emergencies (see link below). These are military aged males in many cases and they often lie about their age to get where they are going.
