They have a lot of problems for America, you should look at the turkey statistic for it. Some say criminal rates up to % 75 after refugees.

That's normally what you should expect when someone goes to your country. It affects the criminal rate, education fees, and the employment system. They are not ruled by your rules so they behave differently. That's cost your safety and money for one or two generations. Unless America has a plan to control their behavior and educate them that's a bad idea for citizens.

The US has already had high school dropouts, drug cartels, and debt problems which government still struggles to solve. I can't say they are shouldn't come God knows what they through? All I'm saying is if they are coming like they did Turkey it will not end well.

[Avicenna]

Only the translators or other key personnel that worked directly with us (whose identities can be verified) and integrated into US society, plus their nuclear families.

Anyone else should seek refuge in neighboring countries.

[jshm2]

They betrayed their fellow Afghans so you could have more free shit than you deserve. You should be taking turns to give each one a BJ when they step off that plane - its the least you can do.

[OddBeMe]

Maybe not bjs but would they settle for citizenship?

[ItsTheNephilim]

USA wouldn't have to deal with immigrants from the countries it invaded hadn't it invaded those countries.

[Stoner710]

I think we should especially since we abandon our allies, I would rather have 75 thousand (making up a number here) who want to be in this country then people who hate it I’ll give them a trade for that any day.

"All those people exported around the world without even a mention of Coronavirus yet a man can't visit his dying mother!"

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

Well, the leftists and LGBTI... why not let the terrorists in too (just as long as they only blow you up, not any conservatives/hetero cis family people or children)

[OddBeMe]

It’s ironic that the GOP could see a huge voter surge in POC who are generally more conservative. But they can’t let go of their racist base.

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

Eventually someone will figure out that brain size is at least just as important as eye/skin colour.
Bright eyes see better in dim light, sure - but that in and of itself isn't much if there is no brain there to keep the simultaneous correlations of meaningful info obtained that way in perspective.
Bird brains, of any colour, just aren't capable of it.

[OddBeMe]

If brain size were key elephants and whales would be running the world.

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

Yeah, you have a bird brain, got that before.
If bird brains did, there'd be 50 billion Afghanis/Hindus on the planet.
Oh, wait, we're getting close to that.
Anyway, bird brain opinions only matter to birds

[exitseven]

The ones that had agreements from the military we should let in. Why do we need all the rest?

[OddBeMe]

Because they helped us

[msc545]

Yes, kind of, since they would not be refugees except for us and our stupid war.

[CaptainSmartass]

China can take them in. Failing that, one of the other middle eastern countries can do it.

Simples...

[Snakeyes7]

If they went through the legal citizenship process then absolutely.

[OddBeMe]

Great so wait 7 years first.

[Snakeyes7]

Pretty sure they are still being let into the country (and NOT be targeted by ICE because they didn't sneak over the border) despite however long it will take for it to go completely through.

[OddBeMe]

Only if they have the money, or are fcking someone with money (ie Melania).

[disgustingweebtrash]

America should take all the refugees

[Juxtapose]

If they come in legally, sure!

[OddBeMe]

So let them wait 7 years first. Gotcha.

[Juxtapose]

Yep. Moving to the USA is a privilege, not a right.

[OddBeMe]

and who demands that?

[Juxtapose]

Borders are there for national security. Sure the process is slow but too bad, America has to put America first.

[OddBeMe]

No, who decides WHEN immigration is a privilege? It wasn’t when our families immigrated, mate.

[Juxtapose]

My great grandparents came in legally.

[Juxtapose]

Borders aren't new but they *do* need a good defense or the country will fall.

The natives lost to Europeans, sucks for them.

[OddBeMe]

Legal back then was show up at Ellis island and get a stamp. Now it’s wait 7 years for an “if”. How’s that fair?

[Juxtapose]

Ask the law makers, not me.

We have plenty of immigrations atm so it makes sense to stall the flow of them.

[OddBeMe]

Maybe we’ll ask your relatives who benefited from immigrating at the right time.

[Juxtapose]

Not my problem. If you want to move into a country you have to deal with its rules, life isn't fair.

[OddBeMe]

But we’re making it unfair for no reason whatsoever.

[Juxtapose]

Oh well. I'd rather fix healthcare or corruption first, immigrants are near the bottom of my "give a fuck" list.

[OddBeMe]

right wingers keep blaming them for shit.

[Juxtapose]

Right wingers don't have a lot of power so why care what they think?

Corporations will make sure every right wing president will provide them cheap Mexican labor.

[OddBeMe]

70% of state govts are run by right wingers.

[888theGreat]

more than illegals on the border

[OddBeMe]

What’s the difference?

[ToastyOats]

Israel should take them!
