“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

There's still a margin in there where you are essentially totally fine with putting a gun to someone's head and pulling the trigger. You just use the guns of dehydration and starvation, because you'd rather they die slow and undignified. All because you deem them unworthy of help.

What are you talking about?

Is there really any way to answer these questions without offending a large group?

There is a lot of crap going on right now. We (as a country) are doing more than anyone else to attempt to resolve an unsolvable situation. Allow other countries closer to the lands in question accept some responsibility.

We have allowed literally millions into this country (legally and illegally) and many states are suffering for it. Texas being one.

Far fewer than the number of needy Americans turned away daily.

I don't quite understand the impulse that, because we are failing some people, we need to fail even more.

Are you talking about the Syrian refugees? Cause Turkey has received more refugees than any other country. It is sheltering more than 1 million refugees. And the US is really doing much less than many other countries. Less than Canada, Germany and Sweden to name a few.

I suspect that the original comment has more to do with military action, than it does humanitarian aid. Even on that count I could argue that Russia is "doing more."

You see a point where people should stop being helped, because they are a leech on resources. In hat case you'd cut aid and leave them to fend for themselves even if they can't. You are essentially setting them up for starvation (assuming they don't just commit a crime and end up in prison). You might not be killing them with your own hand but you are effectively saying "I don't care of you die, you are completely useless go me", and then leaving them to die. You make allowances for those with disabilities, but what about those that just can't hack it in the workforce? You fine with them just dying?

Everything.

Not just with the middle east. Soon Spanish will be the most spoken language in the US. We have people moving here or giving birth here but to live off of our system. We seem to spear head every save the nation conflict out there.

Frustrating.

(and yes.... I know much of our "support" has greed thoughts behind it)

It is a no win situation and sometimes I feel like the world expects America to lead in every "rescue" mission of "good will" throughout the world.

Military action helps ISIS recruit in the Middle East and contributes to the radicalization of Western citizens.

I wasn't supporting the idea; just stating it might be what was intended

I love these opinions. As if immigrants do not contribute to the society and only siphon from it.

It is your empire, your world order, so there are a lot pressures to intervine in the world to protect "your*" interests.
