Yes, and it's about time. There are philosophies that we Americans live by that are not written into the Constitution, but make us that much more American because we still live by these philosophies. Unfortunately, with everyone feeling like a victim, allowing radicalism to take over both political parties and the radicals taking all the attention, we seem to have forgotten what it truly is to be American. One of these philosophies is to be a safe haven for all those who seek refuge from injustice, and especially death from that injustice. Let us be reminded what are Statue of Liberty tells the world:
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to [b]breathe free[/b], The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, [b]the homeless[/b], tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
How about we charge Joe Biden with treason as he is doing everything he possibly can to allow more enemies of our country to enter. Apparently, Biden is not happy with the millions he has allowed in at our Southern border, he needs to start letting our enemies in. Of course, he will pay their way here and once here will supply them with taxpayer paid freebies, like housing, medical care, food, and education.
Biden seems so positive about winning a second term in the 2024 election, but it seems he is doing everything possible to lose the election. This latest bombshell is just going to be another Biden failure added to his long list of failures.
Joe Biden and his handlers are destroying what is left of our country. This has to be changed and the only way to change it is to NOT VOTE DEMOCRAT.
@Ynotisay If you google "what percentage of Americans support Ukraine funding now" you'll see a variety of sources and polls that do say the majority of Americans do NOT support funding Ukraine.
@IM5688 Oh I did bud. I don't pop off unless I know what I'm talking about. Maybe you should take your own advice. But it will mean leaving whatever manipulative right wing echo chamber you get your news from. Here's just one recent poll. From Gallup. It says most Americans don't think the US is helping enough. Just because you want to believe something doesn't make it true. There's the big boy advice for the day. https://news.gallup.com/poll/643601/americans-say-not-helping-ukraine-enough.aspx
There is nothing wrong with accepting some Palestinian refugees from Gaza. It would be the humane and compassionate thing to do. If you don't recognize those words as part of the MAGA Cult, you can look them up.
@windinhishair [quote]I see. Are you sure it isn't billions and billions that the "cabal" wants to fill the country with? Where will the people come from who will double or triple the population?

Have you heard about Central and South America, China, Africa, Asia? https://www.worldvision.org/refugees-news-stories/forced-to-flee-top-countries-refugees-coming-from
If you have any clue what's going on in places like Turkey or Somalia or other hot-headed Muslim nations right now you could understand what Biden is trying to prevent.
Muslim extremist groups see the historical alignment between the US and Israel as a threat and Netanyahu's unsolicited action as a call for their long wanted Jihad against not just America but any nation they consider 'harbouring' Jews.
Also worth noting the U.S has a Muslim population of nearly 4 million !
So the potential for terrorism at home is also a factor.
@TrashCat Maybe we should take more Palestinians and send red state residents to the Middle East. A fair trade that would reduce terrorism in the US and make it safer for everyone else.
Accepting refugees from Palestine (for any country) sends the message that you feel Israel is committing genocide or "ethnic cleansing".
This is why I don't understand Israel's current leaders. The world is accusing you of oppressing Palestinians for years, and now accusing you of ethnic cleansing and genocide. You would think Israel's leaders would work to silence those accusations, but instead they are doubling down.
I really think that a large segment of Israel's population considers all Palestinians a "lesser" people and wants them to just go away so that they can have Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.
I can imagine some people getting upset about it because they believe accepting some Palestinians as refugees is a form of ethnic cleansing instead of a generous offer. 😂
@trollslayer This is why I don’t support UNWRA. if Palestinians who are refugees were under UNHRC (like every other refugee worldwide) that helps to integrate refugees into the local population where they reside and seeks durable solutions for refugees which includes voluntary return, they wouldn’t have this issue.
You know there are innocents everywhere. Why all the hate? The ones that cause trouble get deported, and the nice ones can stay, why not. Not seeing any issues with this.
@JamesBugman It is not that simple. Reality is that there is no way to truly do that. That is how we got 911. Also, these people have to be taken care of at taxpayer expense - often now, as we are seeing in cities like NYC and Chicago, they are placed in front of American citizens. Reality - not T world.
Whats wrong with acceptung refugees? Racist much? The US accepted Nazi scientists under operation paperclip after wwII because of their knowledge of rockets and propulsion.
Nobody thinks universal rights and sharing the land should be tired again. America proved it can never happen. War to the last living thing really is going to happen.
@SDavis NONE Hopefully. The USA is not obligated to take everyone;s refugees. We already have our homeland security compromised by immigration - legal and illegal.
@sunsporter1649 now if they're sneaking in how in the world can they come up with a number like 8 million. Sneaking in means they don't know who or where they are *** so how can they be counted.*** https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/02/15/migrant-encounters-at-the-us-mexico-border-hit-a-record-high-at-the-end-of-2023/
No denies what Hamas did was heinous. Israel however is intentionally bombing Palestinian civilians and starving them and leaving without aid and medical attention. It's genocide.
Next thing you're going to tell me Turks were justified to send Armenian Christians on death marches to the Syrian desert for "national security".
