You guessed it! Those Rohingya Boat People are coming to the US!

Many in Asia and around the world do not want uneducated, unskilled Muslims, in such large numbers.. If I were a none Muslim country I darn sure wouldn't.

No fear USA is here.

They continue to sow the seeds of making America unrecognizable in probably less than 2 generations... Which for some seems to be the plan.

The UN's refugee agency told AFP on Tuesday it had received reports that at least 2,000 migrants had been stranded on at least five boats controlled by human-traffickers near the Myanmar-Bangladesh coasts for more than 40 days.

Traffickers were holding the people captive on boats amid "food shortages, dehydration and violence" unless they paid for their release, a spokeswoman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said.

The agency has said a total of nearly 4,000 people from Myanmar and Bangladesh may be stranded at sea.

The UN's human rights and refugee chiefs joined others in calling on Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand on Tuesday to launch search and rescue operations, bring boatpeople to land and launch procedures for assessing any refugee claims.

Last week UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon and the US State Department called for action to help the boatpeople.

The Bangladeshis are believed to be mainly economic migrants.

But many Rohingya are fleeing their homes in western Myanmar after years of violence and discrimination at the hands of the Buddhist majority. Most head for Muslim-majority Malaysia.
Each spring, boats stream southward out of the Bay of Bengal, trying to beat seasonal monsoon storms.

Anifah called Sunday on Myanmar -- which fiercely disavows any responsibility for the Rohingya -- to engage in talks on the crisis.

I guess most of you have forgotton that your families too where on boats once traveling to a new land. What the hell is the difference...

They haven't forgotten. They just don't care. It's the "I got mine so screw you" mentality. None of the American settlers were invited by the Natives and none of them assimilated with the Natives.

Many of the loudest anti-immigration advocates are only 3rd, 4th, or 5th generation Americans, and can proudly tell you their family history in other countries. And they literally don't see the double standard, even though these Rohingya people would be coming here as legal immigrants.

One thing to remember is that these refugees are people first. They are not some object to throw away. They are flesh and blood and have just as much rights as anyone else. I can't imagine what they go through to try to get a better life for themselves. The conditions on these boats is terrible. You cannot just leave them to die, that is not humane.

Unrecognizable from what? A continent of Aztecs, Mayans, Cherokees, Lakota, Pawnee, Choctaw, Iroquois, Seminoles, or Chickasaw? Because those people and hundreds of other indigenous peoples are the actual "North & South Americans". Everyone else is a recent immigrant.

But hey, at least the US is a still "recognizable" in a way. At least they used the names of some tribes for their new States, like the Alibamu tribe, Iowa tribe, Dakota tribe, Otoe-Missouria tribe, Massachusett tribe, Mississippi civilization, Illinois tribe, Kansa tribe, Ute tribe, and Delaware tribe. Is that what you meant?

What welfare check and free housing did the Pilgrims get?

There is a big difference to coming in legally or coming in illegally

They are coming here legally. What part of "The United States is willing to take in Rohingya refugees as part of international efforts" makes them illegal immigrants?

I doubt the Aboriginals would agree that European settlement complied with there 40 thousand year old law of the land. In fact, I think they'd probably consider it a violent invasion.

We're all immigrants.

And how did that work for the aboriginals?

That's like saying if a poor person robs a bank and the government gives them money after being caught then they did not break any law.

They are illegally going to AUS, and the US is giving them money and housing for doing so.

So they once had an entire continent, and now have a small area. Sounds like it did not work out well for them.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has ruled out resettling any of the thousands of refugees stranded at sea amid the Southeast Asia asylum seeker crisis.

"Nope, nope, nope," Mr Abbott told reporters on Thursday, saying the prospect of resettlement in Western countries would encourage more people to risk their lives on leaky boats.

"If you want to start a new life, you come through the front door, not through the back door," he said.

His view is at odds with the United States, which has vowed to help countries in the region bear the burden and will consider resettlement requests.

Now we cant let them die at sea , but we can put them straight on a boat and send them back .

Some of those humane charitable values that those so called Christians with a sense of self entitlement tend to have. Screw those UN treaties and responsibilities, right? Just shut the borders down and let the rest of the world deal with it.

Tony Abbots a dimwitted bigot!

I see, so charity should be forced? I expect to see you posting about how wonderful your new Southeast Asian guests are doing in your home soon.

most people are not nation states with the resources to help refugees. Surely the richest nations on earth can do something to help. America has acres and acres of land and billions of dollars to help.

Funny the U.S. And other western nations can always find money for bombs and military hard wear but when it comes to humanitRian aid, they have empty pockets and no will

Bs, america already gives more money and aid than most of the world combined.

Stop playing at hyperbole.

Sure the US has acres and acres of land that already belongs to someone else.

How about they live off your land, they aren't getting mine.

Your analogy makes no sense. The US is allowing them to legally come to the US. Hence, they're legal immigrants.

Then run for office & do something about it. Because the actual US government decided that they are going to be coming here as legal immigrants.

And I agree with it. The US is a nation of immigrants & it literally accepts immigrants every year. So I'm glad these immigrants will get a chance at the American Dream. I'd rather my taxes go towards helping improve the lives of the needy instead going to kill people or prop up a corrupt "ally".

My rules for coming to Australia .

1- 2 years you speak the language or go home .

2- You swear allegiance to Australia , that is over and above your religious beliefs .

3- Learn our national anthem , in English or go home .

4- there will be no handouts or free housing while Australians are homeless or wanting .

5 You will not live within 1 kilometres of your old countrymen .

6 - There is no entry by the backdoor . those caught trying to enter illegally to be banned from ever coming to Australia .

OK Nazi rant over .

America is broke, our economy is wrecked and we already have tens of millions of immigrants in just the last 15-20 years....

Ya america has never been known to tale immigrants....

Those of us that can count and understand economics just see the reality.

At the rate things are going Americans will be the economic refugees in another generation.

Where do you live?

I'm coming to your house.
