Is it fair to say most of the immigrants who established the U.S. were from Western Europe? Both sides of my family came from England/Wales. Arabs and Muslims did not establish the country, so of course there is the potential for wild clashes of culture and religion, and we must be realistic about that.

But we must provide a sanctuary for those whom we can. Syria is a horrible, almost unsurvivable war zone, and we have to do our part in providing a safe haven for some. Like it or not.

Why?
