European and US reaction to Syrian refuge crisis

[Delta4Embassy]

Ya know, way the governments are handling Syrians showing up in their countries reminds me of how they did back when it was Jews. US is no exception and turned away a ship full of Jews way back seeking asylum, many of whom wound up being massacred by the Nazis. And right now, we're doing it all over again with Syrians.

Those ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

MS St. Louis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Prohibited from landing in Cuba, Captain Schröder took the ship and its passengers to Florida. It is not known why Schröder did not proceed to the Dominican Republic, whose officials at the Evian Conference in July 1938 offered to accept 100,000 Jews. Some histories recount that on June 4, 1939, Schröder believed he was being prevented from trying to land St. Louis on the Florida shore. Material from that time was conflicting. According to the authors Rabbi Ted Falcon & David Blatner in Judaism for Dummies, when the "St Louis was turned away from Cuba … America not only refused their entry but even fired a warning shot to keep them away from Florida's shores".[11] Legally the refugees could not enter the United States on tourist visas, as they had no return addresses. The U.S. had passed the Immigration Act of 1924 that restricted numbers of "new" immigrants from eastern and southern Europe.

Schröder said he circled off the coast of Florida after leaving Cuba, hoping for permission to enter the United States. At one point, he considered running aground along the coast to allow the refugees to escape. He was shadowed by US Coast Guard vessels that prevented such a move. US Coast Guard historians maintain the two cutters involved were not ordered to turn away St. Louis but dispatched "out of concern for those on board".[12] Ultimately the United States did not provide for entry of the refugees.[12]"

Donald Trump: I would send Syrian refugees home - BBC News

"Donald Trump: "If I win, they're going back"

Donald Trump has said he would send home all Syrian refugees the US accepts, if he becomes president.

The billionaire, who is the current frontrunner in the Republican race for the White House, told a New Hampshire rally: "If I win, they're going back."

It marks a reversal in policy - earlier this month he told Fox News the US should take in more refugees.

A migrant crisis has gripped parts of Europe and the US has pledged to take 10,000 refugees from Syria next year.

Rival Republican candidate Jeb Bush called Trump's pledge "a horrible thing".

"The idea that you would send back refugees - when in American history has that ever happened?" the former Florida governor told NBC News. "We have to stand for certain values.""

Why haven't Israel and neighbouring Arab countries welcomed them with open arms?

You are mixing apples and screwdrivers. Judaism was no danger to the West. It was mere anti-Semitism on the part of the Democrat regime of the time. Islam, on the other hand, does present a danger to the West, and the overrunning of Europe will destroy it within 10 years.

How about standing for Americans first, Jeb? How about that value?

We have enough problems. We don't need to create more.

A great example of the failure of multiculturalism. Muslims don't belong in Europe.

Why haven't Israel and neighbouring Arab countries welcomed them with open arms?

Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey have millions. Lebanon and Jordan already had millions of Palestinians in their countries they were struggling to deal with. More than a third of the people in Lebanon are refugees.

And how many "refugees" have Europe and America taken in? The Middle East needs to start taking care of itself instead of relying on The West to pick up all the slack.

Politics, not religion.

Politics based on religion. The Serbian Orthodox nationalism was rooted in local Orthodox religious views and beliefs.

Not that many.

Somewhere between 300,000 and 500,000 escaping to Europe. War has created around 10,000,000 refugees and millions more are displaced.
Due to vetting, the US has already taken 210,000 refugees over the last three years and is expecting to take 10,000 more in the next year.
US has a vetting process and refugees have to apply to be taken in by the US. First the refugees have to be supplied food and treat illnesses they might be carrying, to avoid pandemics. They need background checks to see if they have been terrorists or criminals. Arrangements have to be made to find housing, sponsors and jobs for them.

Perhaps we should reopen Ellis island or alcatraz to quarantine them and begin the paperwork and vetting. Won't be the most comfortable but it will be dry, warm and safe. Sheets and blankets can be hung for privacy. Salvation army or red cross should be able to find clean clothes for them, maybe even some cribs
and baby equiptment like carriers, strollers and swings.

Refugees can't just walk across water to land in the US.

Nonsense. It was a territorial conflict, plain and simple.
