Out of curiosity, does anyone else find the talk of re-homing Syrian and African refugees to be a bit troubling? In the last 4 or so years, the United Sates has donated over 4 billion dollars in relief aid to Syria, more than any other nation. Yet, we as a country are now expected to step up our humanitarian efforts and start accepting refugees. Where are all of the rich and powerful Arab nations? Saudi Arabia, The United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Egypt, to name a few. You would think they would be eager to help fellow muslims in such a violent and turbulent time. But instead they remain distant and disengaged. Why are we as a country expected to provide such time, money, protection, equal rights, military, to the very people that have spawned the violent extremist group ISIL? Since the attacks on September 11th 2001, our government has spent trillions on homeland security in hopes of keeping those with malicious intent out of the country. Now, both parties are considering allowing up to 100,000 "refugees" from Arab and African nations into the country. Lets forget for a second that most countries from the middle east have an extreme hatred for the U.S., how about all of the immigrants already in the country on visas who work and assimilate to the ideals of America. These people have tried tirelessly over the years to become legal citizens of this country and still to this day have not been granted citizenship. Our new plan is to just bring these refugees here with no plan and expect things to work? We have all witnessed whats happening in Europe at the moment. Hopefully our fearless leaders will get an idea as to what will happen when they arrive here.
