As I said, I’ve no problem with extensive vetting. In fact, the vetting used at Ellis island would be woefully insufficient to properly vet people today! I was alluding to the massive amount of immigrants who came here at the turn of the last century. There were people back then who feared, as you have expressed nowadays, that those “foriegners” would “take their American jobs”. Yet they actually had a positive effect on our economy. Again, it is Communisim which teaches that there are a set amount of jobs that can be “stolen”. Furthermore, most Asian and South American countries are unstable Communist dictatorships who slap cuffs on you for reading a Bible- not exactly shining examples of “Truth, Justice, and the American way”. If someone breaks the law then they should be punished justly- not emotionally with a question of if they will “make it out”.

Outrage over perverted justice is a good thing. Yet, in my opinion, the Church’s lack of outreach to Muslim refugees only makes assimilation less likely. If we assume they don’t want to assimilate, then I fear that we will create a self-fulfilling prophecy and make it easier for then to mentally de-humanize us “infidels”.
