You don’t need to be a bleeding-heart liberal to be genuinely disturbed by the tremendous humanitarian crisis that is taking place in the world, and by the attitudes to these refugees taken by our elected officials. Of course our government has a responsibility to keep its citizens safe, but does that mean we have no practical responsibility to help others facing mortal danger? Are you perfectly understanding of the decisions of the many governments (including our own), during WWII, to send back thousands of Jewish refugees to Europe? Don’t forget that US government officials, including FDR, believed that these immigrants posed a real national security threat. If you’re perfectly morally content with this executive order, I don’t see how you could be troubled about FDR’s decisions during WWII. To me that is very sad….
