Yeah, that would be kinda annoying.
Leaving innocent people to die in a totalitarian hellhole ought to demand a slightly higher bar than "kinda annoying."
Where do you draw the line? There's only 300 million people in the U.S. A quick search reveals that 780 million people don't have access to clean water. What do you do?
And we can't save them all, anyways. If everyone living in a totalitarian regime showed up in the US they would vastly outnumber the current Americans.
Obviously nations have the right to do that. I don't think anyone has said otherwise. Saying "your right to not be tortured and killed by a tyrannical government is less important than my right to prompt convenience at the grocery store" is still a dick move.
I never said that. See my reply to ApolloFortyNine.
> You seem eager to give away other people’s country.
It's my country too, thanks.
Just want to point out, again, that right now you are specifically arguing that convenience at the butcher's is more important than human life. Are you really making your point effectively and convincingly?
Eventually it becomes South Miami where there are parts where workers don't speak English. Kind of sucks when you try to order from a butcher shop and have to point at the meat and then the grinder.
>>I haven't seen anyone seriously calling for an outright ban of all refugees, so that seems like a bit of a strawman.
>I think this is dishonest. Many people are calling for an outright ban on refugees.
Yea it's impossible to really argue this. Some do yes. Many just want increased vetting.
Language is all I really care about. I don't understand how you can mesh with a society at all if you can't even speak to them. Eat and do whatever the hell you want, at the very least know English though.
