Reply To: Banning Syrian Refugees From the US

newbee:

Granted Im not a political expert, but it seems to me Obama wants to change the look, character and face of America sooner than keep US troops in Syria, defeat Isis, and pressure other Islamic countries to at least take in refugees.

I think you’re mixing apples and elephants. Accepting the refugees is independent from interfering in Syria and defeating ISIS. Additionally, you say Obama wants to “change the look, character and face of America.” Granted I’m not a political expert but I agree with you, but that doesn’t have to be a component here. The refugees can be accepted temporarily, they don’t have to be granted citizenship, and if they’re kept in quarantine they don’t don’t even have to mingle with Americans.
