SENATE BILL: Lady Liberty Refugee Act (Passed)

[Blair]

I support this; I've followed quite closely the story in Germany who took over a 1 million. I find it rather annoying that the RL discord around refugees is a long argument about numbers & then about services... but eventually everyone loses interest, it becomes normal & then 20 years later people wonder why so many people kicked up a fuss at the time... but sadly by then we're onto the next argument about the new at-risk people.

To give a RL example back in the U.K in the 60s there was a real moral panic about East African Asian refugees coming to the U.K & the impact it would have- yet it turned out to be completely pointless.

There's countless other examples of this around the world.

I'd also argue that sudden events in Afghanistan (and Vietnam a generation before then) also shows the need to ensure that we can take on a larger amount of refugees who we expected to fight & die for our interests.
