This has got to stop!!!!! We can't even take care of our own.And until we can take care of the American people we don't need to be letting anyone else in this country legally or illegally! Does anyone know how to stop this? What can we do when our politicians don't care what the majority of Americans want?

I think this country has enough problems that we shouldn't be worrying about others unless they pose a threat to us or the global community. Like I said, I think this idea of bringing refugees to this country is opening a huge can of worms. These people were displaced from their homes indirectly because of our actions. Now, we offer them ours??? Bad idea.
However, since Bush and admin. started this whole mess, I'm sure they may feel some inkling of pity for these poor citizens whose communities are now an all out battleground due to their lack of planning. They probably thought,"Lets get rid of Saddam, then the world will be a better place, (and we might get more control of the oil)". Ok, Saddam's dead. The world is more unstable. Control of oil??Nothing's changed. But, now there is a whole country turning on itself while being supplied and aided by terrorist factions who we should have been targeting to begin with...
What's the solution?? who knows! I do know that I would like to see our troops come home, not Iraqi refugees! The way this whole "war" is going, it could last for decades.... The people over there have been fighting since bibical times, and will continue to do so til the end of time. Who are we to think we can stop it?
