But when you say you look out for your people first , that ' s a cop out . There is nothing that stopped you from being born in a different country , and in a different culture , with different ways of viewing the world . In reality , you are worried about immigration ' s threat to yourself . I personally don ' t have a people . I have a family , but I don ' t care more for Americans just because they are Americans . My question is , you recognize that its farright and reactionary to be racist , and I understand your point about Trump . In fact its probably correct . But are you really afraid of letting 50 , 000 to 60 , 000 refugees in ? Hell we already have that many from Afghanistan , and I don ' t see them forming rape gangs . In fact , if you give me one article about the kind of phenomenon happening in Europe with refugees happening in the US , I ' ll concede a little bit . I understand your point about agency with refugees . Its a point that the Marxist Slavoj Zizek who I really respect makes a lot . He doesn ' t think there should be unfettered immigration , and I am not open borders . I ' m saying , if you are worried about the crime rate among refugees , and I ' m sure you ' ve heard this statistic before , the crime rate among immigrants over the US southern border is LOWER than the national average . I think we have a humanitarian duty to take some in , warts and all . With the aim of someday settling them back in their own country after the war is over . In reality , what ' s the underlying force that drove this whole scenario ? Neoconservative foreign policy , which created the war in Iraq and led to the rise of ISIS . Now , if you voted for George W . Bush in 2000 or 2004 , unless you can tell me you had a genuine change of heart , you don ' t have much leg to stand on . I understand the logic of opposing Neocons , but to support a farright policy instead ? If you are an isolationist a la Pat Buchanan sure , but if you voted for Trump , he ' s already surrounding himself with neocons like Guiliani
