If you're playing kickball and you have first pick, aren't you picking the best kickball player?  Why not take the best ones we can? 

It's not a draft, you stupid $!#*

It's burdensome having to always step up when other pussy nations won't, but I'm proud that America is willing to shoulder that burden. It's what makes us the worlds greatest superpower and the greatest force for good the world has ever known.

What makes these people different than the ones being murdered by Joseph Kony?  Do we not have a moral obligation the help them as well?

Where is the line that separates people we are morally obligated to help from the ones we aren't morally obligated to help?

Half the country fled.  There are 11 million of them.

Also, I realize this isn't really a binary situation.  Just trying to simplify things.  It's a pretty messed up situation to try to simplify.

People qualified here already?  There is demand for more doctors and it's going unfilled.

Was taking the hmong a success?  I honestly don't know.  I don't think they have assimilated very well.

These are all things that have actually happened.  People emigrate to the US every day from all over the globe.

Sure, and we also kick out scientists looking for a cure to cancer.  I can't make any sense of it.

Lotta people really wish America stopped accepting immigrants and refugees as soon as their ancestors stepped off the boat

[Emo EMAW]

Yup and some of us wish none of you white devils ever came.

Why is it our responsibility to bring them here? 

I'm cool with bringing the educated ones, FWIW.  Doctors and engineers and folks like that.  Just not folks that would be in the bottom third or fourth of wage earning potential.

most of the syrian refugees are educated, middle and upper class.  the poor have to sit there and take the war, it takes resources to escape.

Oh my, we've created more terrorists than we've imported?  We're a terrorist country now? Just how many governors are going to sign documents that ban exporting terrorists from their respective state?
