With all this libitard nonsense wanting to bring in all these syrians from the other side of the world, why are you guys not starting threads about the close to 50k homeless veterans living on the streets or the 500k homeless american citizens.. You guys care more about Syrians than your own people??

well that wont play as well in a hunk of poster board for the camera

You can't sensationalize a homeless person near as well as you can a refugee from the other side of the world so the media will hype what sells. Very few were aware of Syria until just over a year ago the media published a picture of a baby washed up on shore. It is indeed tragic but was aimed at sensationalism and tugging on the heart strings. 

Just like SPCA ads. They tend to show little furry cats rather than the cow or pig in the barnyard. It's marketing and they know it works 

Soldiers are only worth political hay when they are dead.  Fuck em if they have medical problems...........We have Syrians to save.

Why didnt Trump start helping Veterans instead of worrying about how many people were at his coronation?

Besides the Republicans always knock any bill from Democrats to helping veterans.

I have had many in the past regarding veterans and their lack of support.

I have zero regarding Syrians specifically.

Now I do support any ANY and all refugees from war torn countries. Do you have a problem with that?

My point in this thread is to possibly allow some of you with blinders on to see that we need to get our shit straight at home before we go helping others.. I honestly think some of you guys just are totally incapable of seeing what is going on outside of your own perfect snowflake little worlds.. Im not saying its a Dem im not saying its a Rep issue, It's an America issue..The only one I seeing putting America first in a VERY long time is the current POTUS..

I agree with everything except trump. He is putting himself ahead of America.

From both sides or just the right???

 

What if Japan was in a war??

 

Yes, I do, we need to get our shit straight

where do you "draw the line" with this comparison rigid? no refugees until all vets are mentally stable and living in warm houses? what about other homeless people? we should do more for our vets, no doubt. we can start by not creating more war vets. but regardless, that doesn't mean we should close the doors on refugees from war torn areas.

Those veterans need to get some bootstraps and take care of themselves. doesnt the military teach them how to live?

Funny how the Snowflakes never protest or march for Vets.

Why didn't Obambi, why didn't you?

Do you have a list of things that I have to criticize before I am allowed to criticize this policy?

LOL it takes a meme for most liberals to understand this.  It's laughable because this really has very little to do with actual refugees.  It has to do with the people that are TERRORISTS posing as refugees.

You are aware there is already a lengthy vetting process in place for refugees right?

Look out for #1 and take care of our own first and foremost. When that is handled then turn any available resources towards helping outsiders. Call me selfish...

Not creating more war vets is also a great place to start agreed.
