NahnCee: “Like, if they spent half the energy on reworking where they came from as they do escaping from it, wouldn’t *that* be interesting?”

What a cruel and stupid comment. Just what do you expect unarmed peaceful people to do when they have a gun pointed at their head and know what’s coming?

Most “refugees” we take in since WWII have a choice – fight for their own countries or bail after losing or – like so many well-off Vietnamese in the wealthier and more populated South – sit on the sidelines.

We have warped the decision even further because with the Open Borders Emmanuel Cellar and his cabal created in 1965, why the hell would anyone want to fight to moderately improve a homeland shithole when they can triple or increase their standard of living up to a factor of 12 by fleeing without a fight? And saying they are one of the 2 billion “freedom-loving refugees” demanding admittance to the US?

Most are wannabe economic refugees, even if they claim it’s all politics and persecution.

That includes the “persecuted Soviet Jews”, who fled claiming they wished Aliya to Israel even if they were part of the Soviet Elite – then as soon as they got to Israel, tried to get “refugee upgrade” to a better land. Then when there were bucks to be made in the former Soviet Union, started to move back.

The same pattern is found in “noble freedom lovers” from repressive African and Arab countries. Somehow, it isn’t enough to make it to a tolerant Muslim land like Morocco or Turkey. Next step is Southern Europen. But that isn’t good enough even though they are not “persecuted”. Not when an “Upgrade” to the UK, the Netherlands, Scandanavia, or USA/Canada is possible.

Australia wonders openly how the hell “noble oppressed Lebanese, Afghans manage to transit through 5-6 tolerant Muslim countries before “blessing” Down Under with radical Islamist communities and high crime.
