Thread: Here’s a Place in Trump’s America Where Refugees Are Welcomed

ERIE, Penn. — Over dinner of chicken, yogurt and bread, the Al Salibi family told the terrifying story about the day soldiers in their native Syria stopped their son Mahmoud, now 19, at a checkpoint.

He was questioned and asked to show ID.

"It was OK. He wasn't taken away," Ali Al Salbi said through an interpreter.

But that moment convinced the Al Salibis they had to get out. "There was no security whatsoever," Al Salibi said.

Oh man, have we been punked. Syria's at war with rebels and ISIS, so they set up a check-point, look at IDs, and move people on. This is what made them decide to declare themselves, "refugees"? These are not refugees, these are people who scammed our idiot immigration authorities into believing they are refugees. They're just immigrants looking for a richer life, more money and exploited the refugee program to get here and be supported by the government.

Can't wait until they're stopped in the US at a check-point to see what country they run to next, huh? My God, what idiots our government is or was anyway.
