Ironic that the guy GrandpaRox features on his avatar was the most famous refugee in our history. Albert spent much of his time here pleading with the US government to take in more refugees. He would be horrified and disgusted that his photo was being used in connection with a position he would consider to be reprehensible.

On a related note, the attorneys for the Zebra pictured in the Eminence avatar have sent a cease-and-desist letter on his behalf, demanding Eminence remove the picture immediately, as this poor animal is suffering extreme emotional distress having his likeness associated with someone who is so openly racist, sexist and homophobic.

Because there is a precedent of refugees from war-torn countries committing terrorist acts in the US?

Man, history might have been way different if the US had turned away all German refugees for fear of possible Nazi saboteurs.

Not a yes or no question for me.

In general, absolutely we should accept refugees.

As we do, we need to screen them to make sure we are not accepting in people who would seek to do us harm. Even the best of the best vetting programs in ideal conditions will fail. Look at people like Nidal Hasan (Ft Hood shooter- US Army), Bradley Manning (Wikileaks- US Army), and Edward Snowden (Intelligence leaked- NSA) to name a few high profile. A vetting program for Syrian refugees has no data bases that would provide much needed data other than if the person already is on the CIA or FBI radars and we can not interview or investigate in the war torn area. The vetting process is flawed to begin with. Officials in the Obama Administration have given various warnings before all of this saying as much. We already have cases of arrests made in the US accused of plots in the name of Daesh and or other jihadist movements. So, the idea that refugees may pose a threat is not an unthinkable occurrence. So, how many can we properly screen? Not many I would think.

I also have issue with having read reports that Iraqi Christians have been denied visas. I am at a loss to explain that. The people that at most under threat and they are not allowed to come in under this administration? It does not add up.

I think we do need to accept refugees but not at the expense of common sense. The threat is not made up or imagined. The threat is real. We have to act accordingly.

we cannot actually want to consider one's religion when considering if they can come to this country. That's about as clearly unconstitutional as I can think of.

They have no constitutional rights here. So ya, bottom line is there are a lot of Muslims who wish ill will to this country and its citizens and too bad for those who can't get in here because we do, or at least should, consider that.

To be fair, with RBM, it probably begins and ends with the color of their skin.

You don't like his argument so you presume he is racist. Pitiful.

There's no presumption. There's a long posting history to justify the opinion that I'm not alone in having.

I expected the opposite. And I expect that public opinion in general is heavily "no".

I don't believe RBM is s racist; I've seen no evidence of it. Very very few people who posts here are actually racist. RBM is a good guy.

[Underachievers]

I'm all for it. We could use a few more acts of terrorism on U.S soil. Hate that Europe and the ME is getting all the action.

Since it hasn't happened yet, it never will. Is that the logic you are using?

What is your malfunction? It's been well established that I have many black friends.

I mean, I think you're a know-it-all who knows little but you don't see me calling you an imbecile to everyone.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Can we do swaps?

I'd take 2 refugees/terrorists if we could send Eminence to Syria.

Pictures of you posing next to some black guys in a bar doesn't mean you really have any black friends. And if you actually had some black friends they would cease to be your friends if you told them what you have stated both in your videos and on this board - that whites are intellectually superior to blacks.

how many refugees have stolen greek passports?

 

[lod01]

How about we airdrop our career criminals into Syria on a 1-1 exchange. We attach $1000 cash to their bodies. If they can make it out of Syria alive, the $ is theirs. Therefore we rid our country of losers swapping them for refugees and it doesn't cost us any more that it would to house our losers at life.

If they are actually from Syria it's a good bet they are either a refugee or a terrorist.

 

[timschochet]

It's important to remember one thing about this issue: it's peripheral. It's being raised by politicians on both sides in part because its easier to discuss than the really important question of what to do about ISIS, which is far more complex. This issue, on the other hand, is much easier for both sides to appeal to their base: Republicans can come off as tough and concerned about security; Democrats can appeal to human rights concerns which are always appealing to progressives.

As I've stated I'm on the progressive side. But whatever we decide to do with regard to these refugees has very little to do with the big issues actually at hand. Again a good analogy is the McCarthy era, in which we wasted a lot of time hunting for Communist spies in the State Department and Hollywood, none of which did anything to help us win the Cold War.

Well, I don't know. Could be the answer is 5, but we haven't answered the first question yet, so we'll have to come back to that.
