I think the underlying answer to that question is the fact that such brutality is and has been happening in many parts of the world, mainly Africa and Indonesia, and there simply is no way our Country could possibly accommodate them all. So who do we accommodate and why?I don't really think we should take anyone from that region at this time. They are just too messed up! Your post makes me think of an interesting question though. Why, when all of those women and children were being brutalized, raped, solid into slavery, and their family members were being killed in Iraq, why were we not accepting THOSE people as refugees?
If you live in a big City, every time you walk down a main street you pass dozens of people who are destitute, hungry and homeless. And if you decide to help a few of them, what do you do when the line forms? Because there are more than those few dozen. There are thousands.
You do what you can based on your ability and you turn your back on the rest. Unless you don't mind becoming destitute yourself.
That's why I say, before we take on any refugees, we need to take care of our own problems. We don't need to add more problems to the ones we already have.
