I understand your point. Assimilation is easier in the USA. I went through the last four years of data and it looks like roughly half of the refugees come from the Middle East, and of those half from Bhutan. So you can probably take that 750,000 refugee stat and change it to about 190,000 refugees since 911 from basically Iraq. We've let only a few hundred in from Syria. Of that 190,000 how many were women and young children? The number keeps getting smaller.dignin said:
Now, compare that to several million looking to enter Europe just from Syria and there is a different story. Assimilation isn't working well in Europe. ISIS is just a few years old so who knows what they have planned.0 -

That has to be some sort of spell check generated mistake.

No i know all about Bhutan. It's a beautiful place whose govt. measures the GNH of its populace (gross national happiness). In fact I'm working on a trip to Bhutan/Nepal/Tibet hopefully next year.
Based on what was written above, America supposedly took in 175, 000 refugees from Bhutan since 9/11. I did a little research and found that as of 2013 the population of Bhutan was 774, 000 and that there have been 73,000 Bhutanese who have immigrated to the U.S. over the years. So the number above can't apply to Bhutan.

I had only looked at the last four years or so. I didn't review all 14 years.Bentleyspop said:

Has anyone else noted that the core of anti-refugee sentiment is the notion that American lives are inherently more valuable than Syrian lives? It's insane, and it's so widespread I am starting to feel as embarassed to be an American as I was in '01 to '08.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0

i'm not sure i would characterize it exactly as that but it does feel a lot like the end of 2001. The 'drilling for fear' sentiment is just crazy by these so-called leaders. they make it seem like ISIS is going to be on every corner in America if we take refugees in. Pretty sad and frightening from so called leaders.rgambs said:Has anyone else noted that the core of anti-refugee sentiment is the notion that American lives are inherently more valuable than Syrian lives?

I'm seeing hundreds of comments that go "if even 1 of the refugees is a terrorist we shouldn't let any in, it isn't worth the risk to America lives"pjhawks said:

That's pretty clear to me.

The sad point of this sentiment is that most of the refugees suffered more from ISIS than any American or European, ever will do in his or her life.... Most of them are just fleeing from the terror ISIS and Assad are creating in Syria, it's shameful, how we are being lead by fear... By the way most terrorists in Europe are home breed second or third generation Muslims, no import... But I suppose it's easier to sell, for politicians that the enemy is from outside because then we don't have any responsibility in raising them...pjhawks said:
