    You are just misinformed.

    Saudi Arabia and the GCC have taken in 2 million Syrian refugees. They just don't call them refugees because they aren't signatories to the UN Refugee Convention.

    Blaming Obama because you got it wrong is fairly typical..

    Middle Eastern Muslims don't fit in with Western culture. They don't even believe in the Western style of government. Many don't assimilate into Western society. You only have to look at what is happening in Europe to see it's not working. Why would we want to take in hundreds of thousands of them and have the problem Europe is having? They fit in with other Muslim countries. Besides the war with ISIS is all but over, why are so many still immigrating out, mostly men?

    60% of the refugees are women and children.

    Arab countries don't take in Christian or Jewish refugees.. Just like Israel doesn't take in Muslim refugees.

    Didn't say they did. Just saying these Muslim refugees are not working out in Western countries. If 60% are women and children, it's not being shown on the videos I have seen, most are men of military fighting age.

    Not the same at all. Those groups believed in democracy, had about the same religion, did not have anything like sharia law and they didn't have things like no go zones. Didn't demand that stores carry their kind of food or demand that stores stop selling food they didn't like. Didn't punish their kids for taking part in Western society. The difference is like night and day. Instead of adapting to Western society, they want Western society to adapt to their ways.

    My problem with immigration is similar to my problem with people within the US moving away from a city in the toilet.

    Immigrants comes to this country, but for some reason continue to live (morals, habits, and beliefs) like they did in their home country that was a sh!t hole....which I don't understand, but like I said it's just like a person here moving from California because of the oppressive taxes and all, but voting the exact same way in their new location.

    I just don't get how people either refuse to change, are to ignorant to change, or can't see the reason for the problem. (deaf, dumb, and/or blind)

    Sure do, but they don't get angry it places selling pork. They don't like it, religion says not to eat it, they don't. They eat something else. Some of those Muslims demand they stop selling it.

    If you want to live in another country, you adapt to that country's ways. Don't expect it to change for you. They have a rape crises in parts of Europe where these Muslim men are raping women because they aren't covered like they think they should be.

    When you are manipulated by propaganda, you will often make mistakes. Don't confuse patriotism with nationalism.

    They don't think about the tax at the time. All they think about is wanting the government to provide them with this (free) service. They don't see it coming out of their own pocket. Not paying it each week or month personally. Don't realize they have to pay this higher tax till April 15th.

    It's not propaganda that there are a lot of rapes going on in parts of Europe by Muslim men over their religion/customs

    All forms of government suffer from corruption. That results from human nature, not the design of the government. While democracy is not perfect or free of corruption, it has proven to be very successful for the countries that adopt it. I don't think my comment relates to a criticism of democracy but rather a criticism of corruption which we should always continue to try to reduce.

    What you and a lot of trumpeteers fail to admit is that many of them did try to immigrate legally. They were not allowed in or on our property to request asylum. Some of them after waiting at the gates for over two weeks did finally give up and try to enter illegally thus making them criminals.

    No, I'm taking forum Republicans at face value. They say Republicans don't have a chance and that immigrants one and all will vote for Democrats. That means they think Republicans are racists. Can't have it both ways.

    No, it does not mean that. It means "immigrants" will vote for their own gain. That is all.
