Current Events > Evangelical Christians are the most anti-refugee group in America

(+) Yeah! (+)

how Christian of these people.

Only 25 percent of evangelicals told Pew that they believed the United States has such a responsibility, half the percentage of Catholics who said the same thing and substantially lower than the religiously unaffiliated. In statistical terms, the percentage of evangelicals holding that view was about equal to the percentage of Republicans, 26 percent, given margins of error.

every evangelical i've met is incredibly arrogant and hypocritical. most are from the south.

You are implying the world hasn't been fucked up forever.

European peace is a relatively new thing and you people don't help with your constant warmongering.

But hey. Sageharpuia is being a bad person again?

Not really I'm just want whats best for The United States and it's Citizens. I see no benefit to the United States to import bunch of terrorists and Terrorist sympathizers in to US seeing as how poorly that worked out for Europe. I am not heartless however I have no qualms with bringing women and children so long as there kept to a refugee camp somewhere in the middle of Minnesota the men can have a gun and a box of ammo so they can take back their country hell a whole truck of guns for all I care we have to many gun here already but other then that I would give no aid unless they purchase it with their natural resources.

I'm fine either way really the only reason I'm fine with helping the women and children is because their might be a net benefit to the US but ultimately it doesn't matter the bottom line is we should only do something if it benefits the US or is a detriment to one of our enemies.

The left wants Christians to be Christian only when it serves the left.

Being a Christian doesn't mean your politics have to be brainless. You can be a Christian and still realize that resources and space are limited.

this

also why is it americas exclusive problem, and even white europes exclusive problem, to let refugees into our countries?

theres only so many places on this planet and if you overcrowd western countries you're just going to turn them into shitholes again. plus most of these refugees are completely incompatible with western society. what I mean by that is they do not share our western values and contrary to popular opinion upholding western civilization requires a certain IQ level, you can't just flood the western countries with people from everywhere and not expect the damn thing to break.

on top of that many western countries are going through internal political turmoil.....can't we just i don't know, let those guys fix their own mess and close our borders so we can deal with our own mess before we go accepting a flood of people into our countries? seems reasonable. the western world needs some me time right now.

i'll never understand people who want to overrun the country with third world refugees. I get it, you feel bad for them, but you can't just let them come in here and expect they will magically conform to our standards. odds are they wont.

Except Muslims in America are more likely to support gay marriage than evangelicals.

No I'm pretty fucking great actually but the US government should serve the American people with no regard to how it might negatively affect non citizens because they are not our concern the only time we should help foreign countries and by extension foreign citizens is when it will Profit or benefit the American people.

In most places they immigrate to they refuse to assimilate. They segregate themselves. The ones who integrate into their new countries culture are the minority. They are the ones who will be negatively impacted by the mass refugees who dont behave.

No fuck globally oppressed , poor and tired non Americans we have poor and tired people here at home our infrastructure gets a grade of D+ most poor people here don't make a living wage and our politicians are as corrupt as fuck so instead of wasteing our resources helping a bunch of people who at best are going to be ungrateful and at worse continuing to be openly hostile we should spend those resources on the American Homeland.

The poor destitute people of the rest of the world are not a American problem as I pointed the us had its own issue it need to work out and should supersede anything any other poor nation's problems now if some poor Nation would like to pay for American Aid with their natural resources I'm open to that.

No if they want help they need pay for it no more handouts. The only time a handout is acceptable is when you supplying a proxy to defeat a enemy or it keeps that nation aligned with American interest for what ever strategic reason is necessary for that particular situation.

I agree, but even if we put the morals aside, pretty much every academic study indicates that immigration is a massive boon to a country in almost all cases. Even pragmatically, it makes a huge difference. From a realpolitik standpoint, it also weakens extremists groups like ISIS because people that move assimilate in like a generation or two.
