No, that isn't true it all. Immigrants get no more than anyone else in this country. My company happens to employ quite a few immigrants on work visas. I'm VERY familiar with what immigrants are and aren't given. My Chinese buddy who has been trying to get a green card for the last 8 or so years tells me all about it.

I think the 10,000 Syrian Refugees that President Obama is bringing to America is just a drop in the bucket, considering that he (supposedly) helped create the crises. Right?

The scary thing is this whole situation is a perfect Trojan horse scenario for ISIS to infiltrate Europe and perhaps beyond.
US, Saudis and Zionists create, fund, train and equip the entity you call ISIS. If a few people like yourself would wake up and deprogram, maybe we could pop the lid off 9/11 and subsequent mass murder.
How's that sound to you? Up for it?

I'm pretty sure that that claim is rather ignorant and bigoted. Most immigrants actually are hard workers and don't take advantage of social programs.
Great more people who will get welfare checks and not integrate themselves and then protest that no one is kissing their butts fast and hard enough.

I demand a "Ministry of Thought Crimes"! Obviously critical thinking skills have become so obsolete and unattainable that our only possible chance of survival is to Ban human life in it's entirety!

Do you assume some are good people?
Belittling these people when you nothing about them and assuming the worst of them based on where they are from.
I think there is a word for that...

Now, what if:
What if instead of saying no to immigration, we just accepted that we're all members of the human race, all one world, and that we're all in this together?
What if we took an American approach and pretended that all of these people instead of coming from separate countries, were coming from our separate states, one into another? We wouldn't stop that, we didn't stop that when Katrina happened in Louisiana and thousands of people 'Immigrated' to other cities and states.
Accept that people will migrate and plan for it.
But of course, once they migrate to where they're going make them follow the laws that are in place there. Criminals get arrested. Simple really.

It has also been an American tradition to pretend like immigrants are a bunch of dirty criminals and shouldn't be coming into the country. Literally EVERY wave of immigrants this country has seen has also been accompanied by anti-immigrant xenophobia. The only difference between each case is just the type of group (Catholic, Irish, Mexican, etc).
So all immigrants have to work their asses off once they are American citizens, but American citizens are free to do whatever they want?
I happen to work with quite a few Muslims. In fact, my company is owned by a Muslim family and most of the department heads are Muslims.
Buddy, I live in Baltimore. Don't talk to me about witnessing riots from foreigners. It's not like locals don't riot either.

How can you not see that using fake video on a subject that is already extrremely touchy and divisive is incredibly bad and possibly irresponsible?

I think that any peoples existing have a tendency to get into a mindset of distrust for non-members of their own culture and society. Anyone "not us" being termed things like "barbarian". That is instinctive- even social animals of various types show such reactions to members of other groups.

Hungarian nationalist TV camera operator filmed kicking refugee children
Just in case people are wondering what you're talking about.
I'm curious what the response to that will be now. First dismissial ("Oh, that's just one person" "Oh, that is just the fringe element"), then legitimisation ("I don't agree with it, but I can understand where the guy is coming from") and then finally acceptance.
So when it is the side people agree with, it is all "Why you focusing on these minor cases" and when it is muslims "Look how this one falsely attributed and wrongly dated video shows how all muslims are evil!"

I agree with this- in the US. Mexicans, and those from other countries of Latin America especially.
Their largely catholic based culture gives them work ethics that are more compatible.
