Not that it matters, but where are all of these refugees coming from that are in Cleveland? Are they all syrian? How is that even calculated?
Check page 20 of the paper I cited. It has a breakdown.
Refugees settled in the Cleveland area have come from all corners of the world. Of the total refugees settled, the largest group (1,973 refugees) came from Asian countries. In number of refugees by country, the Asian nations of Bhutan ranked the first and Burma ranked third. The next largest group (1,433 refugees) came from Europe, primarily from former communist countries such as Ukraine, Russia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. African countries contributed 1,101 refugees to the Cleveland area over this period, from counties including Somalia, Sudan, and Burundi.
So you're talking about roughly 5000 people total? How many syrian refugees do you want to put in Cleveland at once? How does a city get picked if the US decides to transport the Syrians here?
Last time I checked there are a lot of cities in the states.....and a lot of small communities too. What's your population now? Over 300 million right? I'm sure you could absorb a few 100 thousand into your borg melting pot. And your economy would be better for it.
You asked for evidence, I gave it to you. Can you show me the evidence to back up your claim that they could be welfare leaches?
I understand the humanitarian aspect of this. I just don't think its a good idea to throw a lot of people into this country that don't know the langauge or the culture and expect there not to have major issues. What happens if the majority don't feel the need to work? If they hear that the American government will pay their way through life with welfare?
I'd be more supportive of sending money to the countries in Europe that are willing go take these people in. It is a hell of a lot more convenient for the nearby countries to do this. It doesn't make sense to ship people 4,000 miles away when there are countries a lot closer that can.
In my defense, where was it that I called them welfare leeches? Was it this post?

I didn't claim they were threatening my way of life. I said I don't think it's cost effective to bring them here.
You're right. You just implied that they would be welfare sucks. When all evidence proves otherwise.

I'm not claiming they are leeches. I'm saying our government can easily turn them into leeches. Big difference.

Ya because Muslims are the ONLY criminals in the world. Not your fucked up buddy GWB or his partner in crime tricky dicky who lied to the world and nearly bankrupted the entire country all while making their buddies super rich. Oh and let's not forget that these same refugees are running from a country that somehow has been torn apart by the same fucken people you admire. What a sick world we live in. One things for sure. Gf's prgramming is firing on all cylinders.

Odd, I haven't been really on in sometime. But I'm good thanks. How about you? You ok? You seem very confused for sometime now. May I suggest turning faux tv OFF. Maybe go outside in the real world. Meet a Muslim, shake his hand, share a drink or smoke (you do live in so cal). Might actually help you like yourself on the inside. Fear is no way to live. Just trying to help out.

No shit (though we do have to remember that the Natives fought it to the death in some cases, and the ones who didn't got fucked.... that isn't meant as any kind of personal statement on my part... but it's something to keep in mind when using the Natives as a way to argue the point).

I'm still trying to win the lottery and host you guys in my town for a Tool/Pearl Jam event.
Don't forget you two are sharing a hotel room on my tab once this happens.

This is my first look into this discussion. I think everyone needs to imagine it is themselves who is one of these refugees. Would you still all feel like these posts suggest??
Forget about being a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, or any other religion, we are all HUMAN I hope.
If we were invaded by an alien life form tomorrow would you all still feel this way? Man as a species needs to be as one, not fractured like we all are right now.
All this bad feeling makes you wish we all could be united as a planet against SOMETHING!

That's a very optimistic outlook. It's like President Obama asking Bashar al Assad to the white house for a sleep over.

I would hope that one day if I was a refugee I would be treated humanely. I would also hope that one day there is no religion then there would be no more refugees to worry about.

Maybe. But for now we can take away the biggest reason. Would be pretty hard to find another reason for war after religion is gone though. Can you name one?
The only reason that has caused more wars and deaths than religion: Greed. Greed for money and power. Here in America we didn't go to war in Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, or Mexico for religion, it was for money and power. We didn't have a Civil War over religion, it was for money and power.

What's funny is the Indians welcomes us with open arms and we slaughtered them and took everything they owned. So why should we be so accepting of third world immigrants into our home land? Please answer that for me.

To atone for your aforementioned crimes perhaps? I only say that since you brought it up though...
The Indians were a LONG time ago and they had no idea who white people were. Do you really think they would be like that today? We all unfortunately are well versed about everything and everyone today via tv, the net etc etc or should I say misinformed often.

Indeed, to our detriment perhaps as we think we know enough to judge people we don't even know based on fears and media-engendered stereotypes

Agree religion makes war easier. Stamp it out and feel it would be harder for leaders to get sacrificial humans to give their lives. Though acknowledge nationalism and race will be available.

This isn't entirely true. Initially, the native population were intrigued by the Europeans. Once the scope of the settlement/invasion was established... resistance was exercised.
The early settlers out west can attest to the extreme level of violence the Indians were capable of.
* I'm only tempering this statement. I'm well aware of the European treatment of the native population and the current American treatment of the native population.
