No one has the RIGHT to enter the US.  If the American People, as a whole, say "No Syrian Refugees", then that's what public policy ought to be, unless there is some super-compelling reason that is in the best interest of the American People (citizens) to take them in.

We don't have to allow ANY immigrants.  What's good for immigrants may not be good for the American Citizenry.  And the American Citizenry is SUPPOSED to come first.

Humans, regardless of the superficial differences attributable to the random chance of where one was born, to what race one belongs, or to what deity (or lack thereof) one prays, come first. Period. When America, a land of relative wealth and stability, has the capacity to aid and assist our fellow man in need, but refuses, then the moral judgment of all civilized people should be that of condemnation. Any objection or protestation to the contrary betrays the moral foundations of our modern society, to which maybe you do not wish to belong, but many, if not most, of us do. Petty nationalism, such as that demonstrated in your post, is abhorrent and, thankfully, being gradually tossed aside by an emergent group of Americans who view all humans as interconnected, interdependent, and ethically bound to help one another without regard to something as arbitrary as imaginary lines on a map.

The American polity has no right to decide who enters this country, because that would be against the moral foundations of the West.

A taco truck on every corner sounds delicious.

Which one do you think's better suited for a Republican ad?


We have the right to decide who comes in, but that doesn't mean we should prevent refugees from entering because of a few incidents. America is far better at cultural integration than Europe. Just ask Bassam Tibi.

I don't think we're having any refugee problem for the foreseeable future. Neither Obama nor Hillary will fill our younger cohorts with Muslims. 

Exhibit A why Trumpers are outright deplorable
