To take or not to take Syrian refugees
November 17, 2015 at 12:25 am
Should 1st world countries in the west take in Syrian refugees?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

I said yes, absolutely!
Just not to Au.
They just won't assimilate! This causes factioning. Sorry.
But their food is lovely!

I say yes with caution because look at what happened to Paris and not to mention
it would be a nightmare for jihadists to be mixed in with the refugees.

Sure we should take them in, but we need to at least check if any of them are on a terror watch list.

Of course. We should just be doing a better job keeping them occupied...

I picked "Yes, but with certain limitations/conditions", because yes those refugees should be helped but not at the cost of endangering the lives of the nations citizens. The refugees need to be occupied and constantly monitored as soon as they arrive.

Don't worry. It won't cost an arm and a leg like the countries they're trying to flee.
