Hello Bob,

 >> I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

 BA> Emma Lazarus' poem wasn't included with the statue, it came later.

His poem is quite fitting, and describes the American people
for who they are.  Or rather, what the American people used to
be, but apparently are no longer.

 >> And now, 31 governors, representing the people of
 >> their respective states, have turned their backs on
 >> those who are most desperately in need of our help.
 >> 30 of those governors are Republican, 1 is Democrat.
 >> All of them a sorry excuse of a human being.

 BA> Tell us, Lee, how ypu propose to prevent terrorists from infiltrating
their
 BA> way in with these "refugees"?

It was not until after WWII that the United States
began making a distinction between the terms "refugee"
and "immigrant" - and even later "asylum" as a special
case.

The US is a nation of immigrants.  Every immigrant is
a potential terrorist.  How does a nation of immigrants
go about protecting itself from potential immigrants?

If the USA decides to protect itself by becoming
"Fortress America" and denying entry to all who wish
to come here, will that make Americans any safer than
before?

Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist.  He was born and raised
right here in the good ol' US of A.  We even trained him
to be a killer, in the US Army.  He killed not only men
and women, but also children.  Brings new meaning to the
term "baby-killer".  Yeah.  They taught him well at the
Army of God (a Christian militia he was a member of).

McVeigh used a home-made bomb to do his dirty work.
Loaded up a rental truck with ammonia nitrate and parked
the truck outside a federal building in Oklahoma City.
Walked away and watched it blow up from a distance.
Was later apprehended for questioning, about to be
released for lack of evidence, and would likely have
gotten away with it had a witness remained silent
for one hour longer.

What about The Unabomber?  And other home-grown
terrorists?  We have no shortage.  Some are in prison.
Most are not, freely walking the streets right now.
Some are in mental institutions.  Most are not, living
freely in a community near you.  Feel safer now?

Yeah.  Most terrorists here are born and raised in
this very country.  There are over 900 militias, most
of them Christian militias, no passports required.
All it takes is a belief in Jesus and a call to arms.

You asked a question as to how I would "propose to
prevent terrorists from infiltrating their way in with
these `refugees'".

I do not believe it is possible to prevent terrorists
from infiltrating their way into this country, or into
any other country.  A truly dedicated terrorist will
find his/her way into this country regardless of what
we do or try to do.

Besides, we have plenty of our own terrorists to deal
with, and have no idea as to how to go about doing so.

David Koresh and his group of Branch Davidians taught
us that lesson at Waco.

Back to Syrian immigrants and how we got ourselves into
this fine mess -

Of course, this whole mess is Jimmy Carter's fault.
Well, I guess you could say it was Ted Kennedy's fault
since he wrote it, and Carter signed it.

I am talking about the Refugee Act of 1980.  It is the
brainchild of Ted Kennedy, who started thinking about
it the moment he became a liberal, started to put it in
writing in 1978, and introduced it to the US Senate in
1979.  The bill was adopted by the Senate by a unanimous
vote on September 6, 1979, and signed by President Jimmy
Carter on March 17, 1980, becoming law on April 1, 1980.

This piece of fine legislation has remained virtually
unchanged to the present day.

Public Law 96-212.

Go ahead.  Look it up.  Print it out.

This is the road map of our future.

What is NOT being said by the news media -

This wonderful piece of legislation allows the spouse
and children of "refugees" to also enter this country.

No number of "spouse" or "children" is cited.

It gets weirder, but this is getting long, and I would
like to give you and others a chance to read the text of
the act before making further comment.

 BA> And will you accept unlimited civil liability for any damage these
 BA> "refugees" might do?

And if the president is "insane"?
Who will then be held accountable?
Hell, I think we are all insane.
After all, we elected him (twice).
