And DC you never heard me say middle eastern refugees should not be allowed into the US.

I said...

"thought it wise to be more selective on who we allowed within our borders. We wanted to slow things down and be more careful in screening."

I believe the above may limit, though never completely stop, the infiltration of extremists.

I have said the above in every thread I commented in... I do find it hard to understand how this can be misconstrued into not caring about the suffering and wanting to seal our boarders to all in need.

I don't remember you calling for any sort of restraint on the "cuban refugees"

Never mind back when both NI and england was being attacked by terrorists.
Can you imagine if someone mentioned profiling irish people:) or profiling irish pubs n churches?

I am pretty sure the black and tans did it.

not the entire population

Status: offline 		I also wanted to make a point on the difference in refugees and emigrants. Many on these boards seem to think a refugee camp is a dirty word. It is not and they are needed and could be the answer. Most of these people are refugees forced from their homes by violence and would return to their homes at the end of this civil war and ISIS aggression and oppression.

Those that wish to permanently emigrate should be vetted before they are allowed to move freely in their adopted country. I believe this is the responsible course. No citizen of a country should be put at risk without at least an attempt made to limit the risk.

Did we do that for the cuban refugees?




Those that wish to permanently emigrate

Emigrate is temorary movement out of one country to another. The word you are looking for is immigrate, which is to come as a perminant resident in another country.


should be vetted before they are allowed to move freely in their adopted country. I believe this is the responsible course. No citizen of a country should be put at risk without at least an attempt made to limit the risk.

Just like we did with the cuban refugees"?

'Ahmad Al Mohammad' - died in suicide bomb at Stade de France
The real name of the suicide bomber apparently carrying a fake Syrian passport when he detonated at the Stade de France remains a mystery, but officials say he entered Europe as an asylum seeker less than two months earlier.

This is one...others had recently left to fight and train with ISIS and came back into their adopted countries... without passports... how do you think they made it back?

Migrate is to pass periodically from one region to another ( as certain birds and animals do) and if you want a cite on that, it's in the Macquarie Dictionary as well as the Oxford.

Most of the history I have read about that dust up (not extensive) seemed to revolve around the catholics and the protestants. You know I am an athiest so I have no dog in that fight.
How about a quick thumbnail from your perspective.

That was my understanding, that emigrate is to immigrate as go is to come, and that for the former perminance was not a criteria.

Did You Know?
Migrate, emigrate, and immigrate are all about being on the move. All those terms come from the Latin word migrare, which means "to move from one place to another." Emigrate and immigrate sound alike, and it is true that both involve leaving one location and entering another. The subtle difference between them lies in point of view: emigrate stresses leaving the original place, while immigrate focuses on entering the new one. You won't have trouble keeping them straight if you remember that the prefix e- means "away," as in eject, and the prefix im- or in- means "into," as in inject.

From the Webster Dictionary... But really who cares.

That was my point. You have expressed your desire to help the "cuban refugees" with never a hint that they should be veted. About 400,000 cubans have come here. How may arab refugees are we talking about???? 10,000 or so?

That was the part I had right...it was the premanence of the emigrant that garnered me a drumstick.
