Are they willing to assimilate and work to contribute to America's success? If yes then yes.

Should we bring in every desperate person willing to assimilate?

I'm appalled so many voted no. Do you not remember what our country stands for? For those who voted no, would you actually vote no if you had family or friends in S. Sudan who actually need to come here for their own safety!?

The civil unrest in S. Sudan is terrifying and innocent lives are being slaughtered just because the two fighting parties want to reduce the amount of recruits the other parties can tap into.... truly sick and sad!
If the US let everyone in who was having a hard time in other countries, our resources would be flooded and we'd quickly resemble a third world country ourselves.

Only if they're able to contribute to America's success.

Gotta bring something to the table other than a pulse and a bunch of kids.

How does it benefit Americans, to admit (probably permanently) a group into this country, who have an average IQ of 72? https://www.tesfanews.net/average-iq...econd-dumbest/

America used to have a 'National IQ' of 100. Already, we're dumbed-down to 98. We can't afford to go any lower.

Here, in practical terms, is what an IQ of 72 means: http://www.assessmentpsychology.com/...ifications.htm

We already accept many refugees from African countries, particularly the Congo. It's pretty brutal what I going on in Sudan, I don't see an issue. Surprised we accept so few.

And how exactly do you test refugees for that?

So, we take such good care of the poor here that we can reduce their assistance to pay for poor we will import?
