While I completely disagree with Ivanka, I do not think a brusque tone is called for. In her comments, she really gives us an opening for a very frank, and very kind spirited discussion of what is really involved. There are a lot of human tragedies-whether one sees the human experience as comedy, tragedy or adventure, or whatever. How do we best address the issue raised?

There are a variety of reasons, not to take in these refugees. There are also a great many protections that should be considered before we take in anyone. The multi-generational interests, purpose--call it "intention"-- of America's Founders is not something of so little value as to be ignored for a single foreign generation's problem. Whatever the humanitarian project Ivanka advocates, it cannot rationally be viewed in a vacuum.

Ivanka's sentiments offer an opportunity for a fuller discussion; a fuller discussion that gives us a chance to make points--to gain new supporters, by showing a far deeper understanding of the full context of the issue, than those who rail against us.

Let us with courtesy & respect for the fact that Ivanka is Donald Trump's well loved daughter, engage in the necessary discussion.

Incidentally, my analysis of the complex of factors, points me to oppose almost any immigration not absolutely consistent with our long neglected heritage. I am not a monster; only one who has sworn to uphold the stated purpose of our Constitution. I do not believe that very many Syrian refugees could even discuss that purpose with the necessary level of understanding.

Well Gunga Din

You know what they say

She pisses me off

But she’s far too lovely to hate

I’d drink her bath water but I wish she would just go back to being a mommy and take Frisch Kush with her
