It may sound cliché, but it does truly sadden me to read the many heartless and closeminded comments here. Does our need to provide services to our native Americans trump our compassion for refugees, some of which have seen hardships you will never experience? Is it truly a zero sum game, helping refugees means not helping veterans, the homeless, etc.? I think not. We are a nation that was built by immigrants and founded on principles that exemplify community, charity and support for your fellow man. When did we turn away from this, and where are we going?
