Alethia Gegonos, Sue is just voicing the frustration felt by many of us. The "tolerant" in this country are quick to label their fellow Americans as xenophobes or bigots for choosing to enforce border laws or protect American culture. The fact that many Syrian refugees won't make it to the US is not the moral equivalent of Anne Frank and her family. Everyone can't come to the US, that doesn't make us bad people. The next time you pass a homeless stranger, invite him/her into your home and support them. If you then leave your doors unlocked and let anyone in any time, you will be doing with your personal borders, what you expect us as a nation to do with our borders. After all, what is a homeless person if not an economic refugee? You can be the "better angel every day".
