Thread: Trump: If I Win, Syrian Refugees 'Are Going Back'

Not all Syrians are ISIS. Granted this is 34 second clip, but it's scary to see him use such a broad brush to paint a people group as evil and worthy to be sent back.

Out of 200,000 Muslims from the mid-east, I can guarantee you, they are not all Jeffersonian-Democracy-lovin' people, either. Even if 5% of them are terrorist-sympathizers, we are in deep trouble and being stupid. And I believe that there are definitely terrorists or their sympathizers in the group. Guarantee it. See all those newsclips? Notice the absence of women and children? I sure do.

We are literally (besides Rome), the dumbest nation that ever existed. And we have no one to blame but ourselves. We have killed ourselves from within.

I know Syrians who are already here who are not Muslims. They do not deserve to be sent back.

I know a Syrian man whose nephew was killed by ISIS and whose other family members had to flee to Jordan in order to stay alive. That's really not the point being made.

Do you honestly believe it's wise to just readily accept people whose true identity can never be known, verified, or traced, HF? Seriously? You honestly believe that's a wise thing to do at this point in time?

So, you advocate rounding up Syrians and sending them back? Back to where? Anyone else that should be rounded up while the Syrians are being sent back to some unnamed place? Mexicans? All Muslims?

All ILLEGALS

We have an immigrations system for a reason...to screen people and educate them on our system democracy and to require a commitment of them...

In this case they will just come and get lost...and there is no doubt some of them are going to get lost on purpose to form cells in the US to continue it's destruction from within...

My initial comments had nothing to do with Trumps'. I was addressing the wisdom of taking them in the first place. I understand Trumps' sentiments, but would need more details about how he would do it, and where they would go. It burns me up that more middle eastern countries haven't taken them in.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refuge...ted_by_country

Syrian refugees received by bordering countries in Middle East, by country :

Iraq : 250,000
Israel : 0
Jordan : 500,000
Lebanon : 1,200,000
Turkey : 2,150,000

Among non-neighboring countries in the region, Egypt has received 132,000 which is more than the top European countries, Germany at 98,000 and Sweden at 65,000.

Like Israel, the gulf states have received almost none but several have given large sums of money as aid and done things like extend work visas and receive family members on work visas meaning that they since the war began in 2011 have received several hundred thousand people who do not necessarily qualify as refugees in the technical sense, but the effect is similar. This involves in particular Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait who have taken in more people from Syria than they would have had in the absence of the war.
