In reply to Marilyn Griffin. I would like to understand your position on refugees. If I read correctly, our organization opposes entry of 10,000 Syrian refugees, who would statistically be mostly women and children, fleeing an unspeakably horrible war and the evil of ISIS, because of the burden it would place on our country. We are speaking, in numbers, of one family of four in a city of 120,000 people. Or, to put it another way, you believe that accommodating four small families fleeing war and possible death would place an unacceptable burden on hearts and wallets of the good American people of a city the size of Atlanta? Does that really make sense? In addition, I would like to ask why your explanation of the proposed travel ban does not mention the worldwide temporary ban on all refugees and the indefinite ban on Syrian refugees? did I miss it?

To Ed – I believe that compulsion comes from the elected’s desire for re-election, and the elite’s desire to keep the rest of us struggling and incapable. I am not a liberal, but I agree with you, and I too see this difference. My plight is as all of the middle American class – tired of being classified as a bigot, a racist, a fascist, a communist, or any other name, when all we are is hard working Americans who love our county, tired of financing the incredibly rich and poor of many nations. Help the ones in need when you can, but not to such a degree that your own home, values (no matter what they may be), or country cannot stand.

In reply to George Fuller. I agree. There are other ways to help other than moving them all here which is impractical. Many smaller countries like Denmark are already limiting who they take in before they take on more than they can handle.

Jewish liberals cannot but note the readily observable increase in anti-Semitism being directly proportional to the increase in Muslim immigration, but they still insist “we must protect refugees,” thereby gratuitously placing their fellow Jews, and other Americans, in harm’s way. America has no obligation to protect “refugees” or to accept immigrants, especially since immigration has long ceased to be of any meaningful value to America.

What kind of logic impels people to support unnecessary but potentially deadly immigration?

In reply to Marilyn Griffin.

What is ironic is that it is the same thing in families……they take care of others but their own…same similarities…..
