Good decision, Obama. But it wouldn't hurt to accept 20,000-50,000.

This is a very bad decision and will result in extreme violence and death in our homeland.

How? 10,000 is not that much. More illegals arrive on a yearly basis than that.

We have citizens that can't find decent paying jobs and are flipping burgers in McD's.
And you think these refugees will do better ?

America was growing and was a producer nation in the past with high paying production level jobs.
Now we are not growing and are a consumer nation with low paying service jobs.
