I saw that the Saudi King has agreed to work out something with regards to safe zones for Syrians. That would be great. AS much as people believe that EVERYONE wants to come live here and own 1.5 iphones per person, 5 TV's and an SUV, not always the case. Many of these people do not agree with our lifestyle. they are better off being with like minded people. Our way of life sickens many refugees. When given no choice, of course they will come here. However, if given a choice, most would probably chose to say in a middle eastern country.

The beauty of America is that no one is forced to live a particular lifestyle

Idle speculation or do you have anything factual supporting that claim?
Before anyone calls this "fake news", the story in the link is from Reuters, but I know many will see only the site name and declare it false. So here:
Misleading thread title, OP. The Saudi King agreeing to support safe zones is not at all the same as them as the safe zones being up, running, and available for refugees now. Nice try at the hero worship though.
