So yeah, Crunch, all of Mexico is Cancun.
It's true that the United States has no obligation towards refugees. People have obligations towards refugees, not the government. The real question is;
what obligations does the government have to restrict immigration to the United States?
The obvious #1 answer is security. Not many would dispute that.
The #2 answer is economics, which is a double edged sword. Immigration assists the economy as a whole but harms certain members.
Answer #3 is racial or cultural purity. Pretty contentious. Not sure what it's supposed to look like. Maybe a screening test that only allows people who love Def Leopard, and the Police Academy movies to immigrate.
Answer #4 is political advantage. Definitely contentious, but honestly, if all new citizens were voting Republican, the tables would probably be turned.
So which category do these refugees seeking asylum fall into? Are they bringing suitcase nukes and cocaine over the border? Are they going to crash the economy of Los Angeles? Are they bringing harmful ideas? Or they just too damn brown?
