There is a saying-those that refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. When we do the same as the native tribes did-why would we expect a different outcome?
That's my point exactly.

I’d feel good about that if we weren’t a big part of why there are so many refugees. I really want us to
stop getting involved with the Middle East. Destabilizing Iraq has caused a cascade of events that none of the architects of that war saw coming.

I dislike Islam with a passion, but I don’t hate people for being born under such a regime. It’s all very difficult when our govt. insists on invading other countries. Aside from us and Russia, I can’t think of another first world country that has invaded another country in recent times.

President Trump is all about logic, common-sense and putting Americans first as opposed to the liberals agenda of importing as many third-world issues.

The Amerindians migrated here just as everyone else did they didn't just sprout up out of the ground like corn, you know.

Got it.

Ridiculous remark! We allow in 1 million legal immigrants a year in keeping with our ability to provide them with jobs and resources without it negatively impacting our own citizens unless you think they should all be able to come here anyway. As for refugees, we do allow those in who have a legitimate claim for asylum. Only those with bogus claims are denied. Common sense and logic and our laws should always overrule emotion.

Civil War in home country seems to be the primary driver, over time.

The OP says "Refugees", it does not state "illegal".

That's nonsense. From the article:

Quote:
New data from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees showed that the U.S. took in 33,000 refugees last year, down from 97,000 under Obama, who had pushed to raise the ceiling to 110,000.
