Official Syrian Refugee backlash thread

[Nomadum]

If there are those in need of help, and one has the power to lend a hand, but chooses not to, how can one call themselves an honourable human being? Is there a risk of terrorists blending in? Yes. So screen them at the border. But don't turn them away. To refuse those in dire need is a cowardly act.

But that's just my 2 cents.

I understand that, but what of the homeless population in America? when the refugees come over, they get a better hand out than those on government assistance. now if we want to debate the idea of morality then let's first realize we have alot of people here in America who could use the same concern and care being afforded to a person from another nation.

I say that with no animosity towards the refugees, but in a game of "honorability" the 'honorable' thing to do would be correct your citizens issues first then help outside. but what do I know, I'm just a coli troll

I understand your point about fixing internal issues. But the very fact that your homeless population is big as it is is already an indicator of how the government handles their business. And that shouldn't mean you should turn away those in need. Step up the homeless aid efforts and help the refugees. Although of course, logistically, politically and financially that's a different matter.

I think as a country we have to admit the situation of the homeless, education, health insurance and other social ills are by design.

I bought up that point to contest Joey's stance on honorability.

Easy, all you have to do is de-humanize them. Which is has been done countless times over history and what they are doing right now : instead of calling them refugees, they call them "illegal" migrants, and now "terrorists". It's working too.

This is the same bs argument that comes up over and over again, even though most people don't care one bit about homeless people UNLESS they can use them as a cover and "justification" for their xenophobic views. Whole european extreme-right is repeating this like a mantra, while they've never done anything for homeless people

Oldest trick in teh book breh. If you read up on any mass killing or genocide for example, it always starts by de-humanizing the "other", as in Nazi Germany or Rwanda, as well as slavery. Thus generalisations.

It's harder to hate Mohammed ben Whatever, writer, father of two, 42, soccer fan and amateur musician than "Illegal muslim immigrant num 4322, possibly terrorist".

So of all the terrorists they killed or rounded up, only 1 used a fake Syrian passport. The others were French and Belgian citizens. So instead of banning Syrian immigrants why arent we banning French and Belgian immigrants?

 

[ejthompson23]

Don't be willfully ignorant. The killers in the Paris attacks were French or Belgian nationals. They were not Syrian refugees.

Why did one of them "just happen" to carry a fake Syrian passport in his front pocket on his way to the attacks? Are you that clueless that you can't see yourself being used? You really think he's going off to the attacks with his suicide vest, "Oh, damn, gotta make sure not to forget my fake passport!"

They WANT you to hate the refugees. They WANT a wall of seperation between the West and the Muslim world.

In America, the process for becoming a refugee is HARD and takes FOREVER. It has by far the most stringent security checks of any immigration process. It would be the absolute stupidest way for a terrorist to come here.

If we do have terrorists that want to get into America, they're going to use tourist visas or student visas or cross the border illegally. They're not going to use the refugee program.

This is helpful if you really don't understand how stringent the refugee security checks are.

If you had all your friends, family, neighbors, local and national government backing you, and were a KGB-level liar, you might have a shot to get in.

Bruh I don't give a fukk bout none of that...these people were born in France, meaning they parents or grandparents were immigrants...and that's even worst...they don't attack now but they will later...after 50 plus years in their respective countries, they still hate it enough to carry out cold blooded murder...so we admit these Muslims now, they sons will kill us later...we see the proof...it's not "islamophobia", we see everywhere Muslims are, death and destruction follows...and then again, the politicians are not the ones dying so they don't give a fukk...watch when a car bomb blow up congress, watch how fast they pass laws cause they ass under attack...but for now they'll keep repeating the same cliché that "Islam is a religion of peace"...NOT ONE PERSON believe that bullshyt anymore besides the people who's saying it...and fukk you c00n ass black Muslims for supporting these killers...I hope y'all die in one of their suicide bombings...

The easiest way for ISIS to conduct attacks in the US is to send French and Belgian nationals posing as tourists who can enter the US without a visa for up to 6 months at a time, not Syrian refugees who are primarily families and wait 2-3 years to get in.

Is the wait period for refugee status still in the years for Syrians? I would imagine they have an expedited process in place for true conflict zones.
