Quote:As someone who is originally from Europe, who has family there and who somewhat frequently travels there, I can only say that this is a good thing for us, here in America.


I do not believe that these are all bad people however just look at what is occurring in Europe. About a year ago I was in London, England, Oslo, Norway and Helsinki, Finland. Perhaps they stand out amongst the very homogenous, indigenous people but goodness, there are Muslims everywhere. To make matters worse they are almost always the beggars, the people trying to sell you something, they only take away from the otherwise nice vibe to the cities that they are in, sorry. It's almost equivalent to a section 8 family moving in next door, they bring down the value of everything nearby.


There are parts of Sweden where you as a native Swede cannot even walk down the streets for fear of being mugged, raped or killed. I am all for helping those who are truly in need however the other issue is that roughly half of these "refugees" are grown [BAD WORD REMOVED] men! Figure it out! As real men do on a daily basis. Incidences of rape in Sweden have increased significantly since letting in these refugees. Coincidence?


People from these countries cannot get their [BAD WORD REMOVED] together. Do not make it our problem. Place the needs of your own people ahead of those of other countries. We are $20 trillion in debt, the economy is bad and there is already a lack of jobs. How is bringing more people into this country going to help us? Eventually we as a nation will collapse, all we can do is delay the inevitable, bringing more people into the country just makes us more susceptible.


Ultimately the way that this type of situation should be viewed is does it help us? The United State of America. Sure there are many people who are trying to escape oppression, persecution and who want to come here for a better life but if this does not improve our country in the long run then you do not let these people in.


As "Samjag904" mentioned in another thread, bringing a large influx of anyone to this country only creates problems. Generally speaking, they do not assimilate.
