Rauner and Baker hop on the crazy train: IL, MA suspend refugee resettlement

[Gass3268]

Look familiar?

If you want the refugees so bad, why don't you take them in yourself?

I can't take them in myself, I don't think I could fit many more people in my 2 bedroom apartment. That being said I would have no issue if they resettled refugees in my apartment complex.

Threads like these are great because you can learn who here are true racists like Green Line, The Hawk, BigSkyBob, RFayette, Kingpoleon, and bronz4141.

Also US Conference of Catholic Bishops, the National Association of Evangelicals, and Anti-Defamation League all support the continued resettlement of refugees.

Also even France isn't jumping on the crazy train.

I would note that the poster apologized to me for placing my name on this list previously, yet, failed to delete my name from the list when amending it. From this fact, the reader can draw certain inferences about the poster's concern about accuracy when making accusations.

I dropped you from the list.

My own mayor jumps on board the crazy train - his justification? Japanese interment.

So much for Green Line's claim that the crazy train is bipartisan in Illinois

Why can't you take a right wing position without being called racist anymore? This whole thread is left wing militancy at its worst. And I say this as someone who supports taking in refugees.

After reflecting on the situation and what I've said, I'm willing to take back my claim of people being racist. However I'm replacing it with the claim of xenophobia. The mentality shown here against folks feeling for their lives from ISIS is the same as the folks that turned away Jews escaping the Nazis because they might be communists, interned Japanese Americans during World War II because they are obviously going to support Japan over America, or demonized Central American children feeling from murderous drug cartels because they are only here to take our jobs. It will be a scar on our reputation, blood will literally be on our hands, and we will have to apologize for it 50 years from now.

Over 750,000 refugees have been resettled in the United States in the past 14 years; not one has been charged as a domestic terrorist; the United States has one of the most strict and extensive vetting process in the world for refugees entering the United States. The refugees fleeing Syria are escaping ISIL, and forcing them to stay in Syria only emboldens them. To close our borders to these people because of a terrorist attack committed in France by French nationals is immoral, prejudiced, and wrong.

Exactly. Here in Utah we have massively growing populations of refugees and immigrants (I worked at a thrift store that served many of them, from Somalis, to Vietnamese, to Iraqis, to Sudanese), and we haven't had any major problems from them. And if a state like Utah can accept refugees and immigrants from across the world, why not the rest of the US?

Admittedly, there are some liberals who are too quick to call others racist. On this particular issue, though, I think it's justified to call people who essentially argue that Syrian refugees are all potential terrorists are being unfairly judgmental to say the least.

I don't quite think that Syrian refugees are potential terrorists. I just flat out don't care.
