Not our problem. Want to save refugees? Feel free to let them move in with you, and you can support them on your dime. Have at it.

Good. Actually, we should take in a lot more than that.

For the most part, I get along well with Arab immigrants. I like what they bring to the country. They can be standoffish if you don't know them, but once you make friends with them, they'll do anything for you.

Your great or great great grandparents were likely immigrants. I bet the folks already living here said the same thing about them.

I'm not a liberal. But what I have learned between the differences of democrats and republicans is that democrats care about others whereas republicans only care about themselves.

It was the battered women's shelter when we took in your ancestors. Sorry, but you don't get to pull up the rug now. Too late.

Others deserve the same chance that your family had whenever they got run out of whatever hellhole they escaped.

Well, you can guarentee that some percentage are radicals and some will be radicals. Knowing which ones is the problem. The bigger problem is they wont or dont self police, and why would they, you dont rat out members of your own group.

You are just clueless. We have millions of our fellow citizens who's welfare to consider. We can not continue to drain the taxpayers of this country to provide for the wants and needs of every human on earth. It is time for some of them to work to make their own countries decent places to live. Not to come here or to Europe and turn them into the same crapholes they are leaving.

Here's what I recommend:

The Americans who want them here can deposit a million dollars for each refugee with the government to defray their costs.

Those Americans can then sponsor the refugees and invite them into their homes, pledging all of their assets to support them (no less than $500,000). Any cost to the taxpayers will be deducted from that money.

Put your money where your mouth is, bleeding hearts!

There will always be refugees and tragedies.

We have enough of our own problems to solve.

These people need help.
They should seek it from their ultra wealthy Muslim brethren next door in Saudi Arabia or the Gulf States instead of seeking to dwell among us infidels.
