I missed it because almost all those statments are in the ou’s statement!
“The heinous attacks in Paris this week demonstrate that ISIS, and other similar militant Islamic terrorist groups, have both the desire and means to strike terror in the capitals of the Western world. Clearly, this must impact the manner in which the United States considers the acceptance of refugees from Syria and other war-torn countries in the Middle East. … security concerns are real and serious. We cannot be naive in our assessment of the determination of terrorists to exploit the refugee crisis. And we should limit immigration to those individuals who share our American ideals and aspirations…
Thus, we encourage a sensible process of reviewing and enhancing security. … While security concerns must be paramount, …Congress and the Executive Branch should review the screening program for refugees and strengthen it as appropriate. … America has both the creativity and compassion to successfully address the competing considerations and we urge our political leaders to work toward achieving this delicate balance.”
After rereviewing This line “America has both the creativity and compassion to successfully address the competing considerations” is the one you seem to disagree with (Though I guess it is creativty that you beleive we lack not compassion). Thanks for replying.
I reposted just the staments tho that effect.
Are yu saying you only agree with those statments, not the rest?
My question was which part you DISAGREE with? if any
Syag
“i agree with it because it states what i was saying, that we can be sensitive to the plight of refugees, but we cannot become idealistic and agenda-istic and ignore the fact that there may be some very dangerous people among them. sure we should be “getting to yes”…”
Great! i love when we agree. It is an issue of attitute. and the attitude many in our community and in the political realm (eg Trump, christie) have is one of xenophobia, which should have no place in the discussion. And we of all people should be very careful.
