I wonder if the war-loving republicans know they will be paying to relocate
and support a LOT of refugees we created in the Iraq Adventure.

You KNOW there will be waivers for a LOT of Iraqis to come to America now too. These are people who would have gladly stayed in Iraq had we not made it a deathtrap.

Every "war" we have is followed by an influx of the people who sided with us, and became personnas non gratis when we messed it up.

So much for "fighting it there" so we don;t fight it "here".

I would advise them to read up on Algeria, and start following the news in France. I don;t think the newcomers will be treated much better here than the Algerians were/are in France. At least in France, they had real financial aid and free medical. They won't get that here.

Too bad all the Iraqi refugees can;t be relocated in the communities that supported the war the most. Those communities should shoulder the responsibilities of taking care of the people they helped displace.

Of course the republican solution will probably involve kamikaze one-way bus rides all over the place (they tested the prototype in NOLA)..

2. Actually I read the other day that's one of the international criticisms...
we are NOT letting more Iraqis into the country and haven't dealt with the refugees well...

3. They will be paying to relocate ..? No
Who's this "they"? No, I'm afraid it's us. We will be paying to do all that and more.

5. "they" are part os US, but "they" never want to pay their share
blowback will hit them in the wallet. (and us too, but we know we have a responsibility to these people)

Then those Iraqis really will hate America for its freedoms.
