We should never had let in a single Iraqi. How naive are you? Don’t you realize they only collaborate with the invaders for money and to have an excuse to immigrate as “refugees.” I don’t give a damn about what people like you think is proper. Cold War nonsense like this is killing us. You don’t understand what a nation is.
Let’s all remember that the Boston bombers and Orlando shooter were in America as the kind of “refugees” that Dave W wants to let in because they were helping some imperialist adventure abroad.
And guess what? There is nothing you can do about it.
The Boston bombers and the Orlando shooter were not in this country because they were on the front lines helping us fight the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. The Boston bombers dad was admitted as a refugee from Russia. That has nothing to do with Iraq or Afghanistan. The boys were young when brought over and I think, the Orlando shooter was born in the US, but his parents were Afghan. Which means that the Orlando shooter was not here because his parents helped the US when we were fighting in Afghanistan.
I am referring to those people who were translators or informants. Those are the people we should help when we leave. We put their lives in danger and we do owe them something.
So, neither the Boston bombers or the Orlando shooter were over here because they helped or their parents helped us fight the war.
I am all for closing the border. In fact, I am in favor of cutting back legal immigration to almost nothing. The chain migration needs to stop, as well, as anchor babies.
