Kerry: US to accept 85,000 refugees in 2016, 100,000 in 2017

Obama will allow in 185,000 Syrian refugees into American by 2017. Hillary supports this.

The director of our National Intelligence believes ISIS is trying to infiltrate the Syrian Refugees. However, the Obama administration says that they will screen the Syrian refugees with questions to prevent terrorists from entering.

Alternatively, we could send food and medical supplies to Syrian refugees and/or create a safe zone in Syria for them.

I agree with the bolded.

No, I don't think it is a good idea. But your bolded is reasonable. I voted no.

Well, the sign on the door does read...

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Technically did France write that? - they made the statue. Send them there?

So if a Billion people want to move to the US, let them all in this year - disregarding the economic and cultural effect on the US? Because of a poem?

When was the written, again? Before the Welfare State and income based slavery to the federal government, so they can give it away.

When that poem was posted up on the Statue of Liberty; it was still legal to discriminate against people because of their race, skin color or religion. Things change.

True.

And if you don't want refugees...stop occupying and making war in other people's countries.

Have we taken care of 100% of our own poor, our own homeless, our own needy? No? Then we shouldn't be taken on any more. I believe that our own citizens need to come first.

Let's take care of the homeless vets, impoverished Blacks and Latinos, poor Whites in Appalachia, and third-world conditions on Native American reservations before importing a bunch of people with radical beliefs. In other words, NO WAY IN HELL do I want them here! SEND THEM BACK!!
