Thanks to the Clinton's and Democratic refugee programs and ultra-liberal refugee settlement organizations there is now a measles outbreak in Minneapolis that is spreading through the entire community and it's spreading into the general non-Somali population.

41 infected: Minnesota measles outbreak now includes first case outside Somali community - StarTribune.com

Sadly, because of refugees certain cities that used to be first-world cities have become like the third-world in certain areas thanks to refugees.

Thank god we have a commander and chief and true patriot who is well aware of this.

Very few refugees have those occupations. And even if they were a "doctor" in thier homeland, that doesn't automatically get them a license to practice in the US, as our standards and training are far higher thankfully than the countries refugees come from. Get a clue.

There is no loyalty to your fellow countrymen in your post whatsoever. With enough opinions like that the concept of the nation-state with borders will be toast, and you can let the third world and thier inferior ways flood in and make America nothing it once resembled. And I'm not being unfairly critical in saying their ways are inferior. Life expectancy below 50, rampant disease, lack of infrastructure, illiteracy, the list goes on.

Did you know they love their country and that they do not wish to be here?

And for the rest of that, wow, doesn't cover it I'm sure, but I'm also sure that is all I 'can' say.

If they don't want to be here then they should have stayed in their home country, fighting to make it a better place. And the fact that their heart lies with another country and not the US is yet more reason they shouldn't be here.

"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag … We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language … and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."-Teddy Roosevelt

Where's Teddy's family from? idk and thought maybe you would?

I think one of the hardest things a person can accomplish within themselves is putting that shoe on the other foot and thinking of a situation, what if this was them; what would they do?

As peace talks loom, Syrian refugees see little future in going home - CSMonitor.com

"Despite these hard conditions – and with the Syrian border only a tantalizing seven miles to the east across snow-capped mountains – most of the refugees here have abandoned hope of returning home, and instead gaze to the West for eventual sanctuary. Many Syrians in Lebanon joined the flow of refugees streaming into Europe over the past two years to start fresh lives."
_____

And before you think they are here for the hand outs, in the ME countries they file an income tax refund, not an income tax payable to their government.

Now if a fight, a war broke out in the states and tanks come rolling in from all four corners, fight? or flight? wouldn't know the answer to that before being put into that situation and I hope to God I never have to answer that question.

Real easy to arm chair a situation one has no experience with, wouldn't you say?

Finding Europe Untenable, More Migrants Return To Their Home Countries : The Two-Way : NPR

Asylum seekers found returning home to war zones on HOLIDAY | World | News | Express.co.uk

Syrian refugees in Germany contemplate return home | Germany | DW.COM | 27.01.2017

They never meant and don't mean to stay ... and we probably wouldn't stay in another country either, if that shoe was put on that other foot ... (provided any other country would have us, in the way we treat people)

Immigrants make this country a joy to live in.
And you can bet I've voted Democratic.
That's the sad and ironic part of this whole thing. You fled a socialist corrupt country and then you come here and vote for the same failed government because they will fight for the people and promise you free stuff. That's why we don't want massive influx of 3rd worlders.

Does ignorance run in your family, or is it just you? Doctors, Scientists, Engineers etc escaping the violence in their country were often educated in the U.S. I'm sure they're capable applying for refugee status.

Here's a couple of Refugees who seemed to have been successful in the U.S. Henry Kissinger and Madeline Albright, both of whom became Secretaries of State. I would guess that they understood how to apply for refugee status.

Then of course there are those refugees who are now enlisted in the United States Armed Services. Using your logic, those serving in our Armed Services must be illiterate.

Your dad is not a real refugee. The people who are really in danger are being slaughtered by the thousands. Only the rich have a way to escape.

Gee, I never thought about it that way. I guess, then, than anyone with an education who happened to have grown up and lived all their life in what became a war-torn country would not have become a refugee, they would have... what? Done "something" so that all that was left in the war-torn country was the illiterates? Yeah, sure.
