> The US has historically accepted more refugees than every other country in the world put together
This sounds like the case for, not the case against. Yes, we have this proud tradition and it's yet another thing that makes the US exceptional.
From 'The New Colossus' (1883):
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Salvadoran refugees are nothing if not "tempest-tost." And it's likely that the gang warfare over running their country is due in no small part to our countless interventions into central American politics.
