What are your thoughts on worldwide immigration?

Let’s talk about immigration… specifically about those fleeing wars and other terrors, including famine and an economy so bad their children are starving.

Do you feel like a country (any country, but specifically yours) has a responsibility to take in, humanly care for, shelter, and rehome (keep them in your country) these immigrants?

Should there be a global standard or should each country be on its own to do as it wishes in regard to immigrants fleeing wars/terror and abject poverty/hunger?

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

That.

@Ontheroad @SW-User I was just going to post this as well.

One of my grandfathers (dad's dad) was born in Ireland. Became a citizen through his service in the Marine Corp during Viet Nam. While in, he meet my grandmother, a Navy nurse and immigrant from England. On the other side, mom's mom was Born in Nuremberg, Germany. So I have deep immigrant roots.
