Even if you dont agree, who the fuck deletes someone on Facebook for a comment?

Does it bother anyone else that Obama's being blamed for all the homeless vets? I mean, it's not like he evicted them from the White House..
ronnocuae
95 million people are out of work in the US. 59 million refugees worldwide. 11 million illegal aliens. Tell me again why we need this?
PhallicHamm3r
American Service member here. I agree with you 100%. 2nd, these people are why we fight for freedom! So that all can enjoy it
TheStrawMan
There are tons of homeless people in America. Anyone care to volunteer or donate more money to charities?
tyrfin
It's actually something like 80K-ish homeless veterans, jussayin'
brayheart
Oh yes let's implement policies to help the homeless only to have the either cut or criticized for existing. You can't win.
aclarko
Yep. But it's okay cause many donate privately! (just not enough to make the difference we need)
MikadoCat
When Obama claimed he was helping migrants, most of the money went to partisan political crony's.
Flashys
Honestly they are not war refugees anymore when they choose a country with the most economical benefits. Yet they all walk past Hungary etc.
kaakischaf
Ever read about the conditions in Hungary? What economical benefits? They don't get a huge amount of money in central europe.

The original post was a pile of shit and you were right to fact-check it. Those "family friends" are not actual friends.

While the top is horseshit and inflammatory the bottom one is a valid sentiment/opinion to hold. Although I don't see why not both?

All homeless need help, not just vets.
ishis13
The Syrian war is not "mostly caused by us"
thatguyonthebike
No, but constant meddling since '03 has created an environment where ISIS can flourish so I think the US has some responsibility here.
Itsboomtiemrightnow
True, but still by no means our fault
Yoloswagforjesus
You honestly don't want to associate with these people anyway.
theaterofdreams
Doesn't change the fact that vets in general will most likely be treated worse than refugees from countries that hate us
isthatonfireyet
Talk to the VA, they are the ones fucking up
whyteraven74
Just because the government of a place doesn't like the US government doesn't mean the people who live there have any issue with Americans
theaterofdreams
On the contrary, I think you'll find governments have higher opinions of the US than the average person.
smaug777000
It doesn't help that there is so much anti-US propaganda in some countries
theaterofdreams
Regardless, what's done is done. Their opinion is their opinion now. There's also the inevitable increase in violent crime that comes along

Not to mention our intelligence department is convinced that there WILL be ISIS members among the group of refugees one way or another.

There also does seem like their would be an increase in violence, like with the dude in that gif a while back trying to give them food.

It must be kind of nice to have assholes remove themselves from your life so easily. Must make life pretty easy.

Not so easy when said assholes are your immediate family that you can't move away from.

My cousin is convinced that the refugees are actually trained forces coming to invade. This is a grown man with a government job.

ISIS has said they are loving this refugee crisis and are sending in troops with them. It isn't all of them obviously but it is happening.

100000 armed men couldn't do shit even if they were dropped off in DC, so why would 10000 unarmed men matter?

How about the 80K plus homeless here in Los Angeles (the land of compassionate liberals) that nobody gives a rats anus about?
aclarko
Cities are far less capable of helping situations like this than countries.
whyteraven74
Actually LA just announced a $100 million program specifically to address the issue.
thecmerrilees
That's only $1,250 per homeless person, while it's a good start I don't see it solving the issue...
ImQuiteContrary
and I disagree. I know a lot of people who are working very hard to address this. Tons of people care about it.

Even if we did take in 100,000 Syrian refugees that's still a small fraction of the 4,000,000 that are out there

The US is the single largest supporter of the refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan.

Sadly, if only human race was thinking as you did.
ArcaneM37
We've been taking in more Sudanese refugees every year from one war for over 25 years. This is not a new or bad habit of America.
Cuntard
I used to work in refugee assistance and got to work with some of the Sudanese Lost Boys. Amazing people.
ArcaneM37
I know, right? I went to college with three of them and a lost girl. I'm so glad MI winter was the biggest problem in their lives then.
SomeDetroitGuy
We were a huge cause of the problems - we bombed Bashir but aren't willing to fill the power vacuum.

1/2 Nooo. ISIS grew because of the war in Iraq, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and other prisons like it. Capeable Iraqi officers joined the loonies

2/2 and suddenly you have a terrorist org. with people who actually know war tactics. In Syria there's a civil war that ISIS exploits
lejonbrameshairline
What. No we haven't.
lejonbrameshairline
We've bombed radical sunni groups like AQ ISIL KHOROSAN GROUP. Bashir in power means that we dont have a libya or Iraq situation.

How is this being up voted. You aren't misleadinginformation
scrotumflee
Thats a small fraction of the 900,000 total and about 400,000 syrians Germany took in... THIS YEAR. you guys have geographical advantage.
lejonbrameshairline
Germ has to take so many in because they have an aging population that is going to decrease without an influx of new bodies. Also compassion
QueenoftheCrows
Also the fact that WW2 happened and they probably feel pressure to change their image.

That's ridiculous. Germany could easily work on a program to get its own people to have more children.
lejonbrameshairline
Lol no.
baconlover666
A lot of people here in Europe are angry at the American Gouverment, for we have to take care of the refugees of their wars.

Same here in Germany. A lot of people try to use homeless as an argument against refugees and most of them never gave a shit about them...
ShamnusMcfee
Those kind of people only care about homelessness when they can bring it up to forward a personal agenda.

Plenty of people cared about the homeless before and presently... as a conservative I give what I can spare... 1/2
dreadpiratebob
You should give as a decent human not as a conservative
Ioftenpretendtobeapotato
to private charities. They have proven to be far more efficient with funds than gov. sponsored programs. I'm all for accepting refugees 2/3
Ioftenpretendtobeapotato
because this was a country founded on immigration. The Gov is just far less efficient when it comes to helping people.
bobbi21
Should specify the US government is less efficient. Other countries seem to do it a lot better..

I work for the VA, and it all depends on which clinic/hospital you're at I'm sure, but my clinic works so hard to treat/care for our vets.

We need to fix our internals before putting effort into the external. We need a decade of concerted effort to unfuck infrastructures.
storebrandproductmascot
If you look at a list of the other countries accepting refugees, we're among the least fucked internally.
TigerSauce
But we only start caring about the global refugee situation after the Mid-East? Africa in shambles, Darfur genocide, they the wrong color?
fandsor
I'd rather we just cut a chunk out of the military budget and reapply it to infrastructure, education, healthcare, housing, etc.
JapanGuyJoe
F-35 anyone?
thecolonels
And helping out a few thousand of the most desperate people on the planet will make it impossible?
TigerSauce
If we're really concerned about the most desperate we would have taken the majority of the displaced from Sudan/Darfur. So that's not it.

SomethingWittyIDK
Greece took in refugees. If Greece can manage it, I somehow think the United States could.
TigerSauce
We've sent $547 million in aid. They are no more deserving than the other refugees of the world. Horn of Africa is still brutal.
TigerSauce
Greece did so unwittingly. They just showed up in boats, and the reports are the camps are inhumane. No one is ready.
TigerSauce
The suffering in Africa has gone on longer and to a much worse extent. Should they not have priority? Or does it become race issues again?
Morrigi
Why should we help, when we can't even help our own people? We have no obligation to them whatsoever.
TigerSauce
Exactly. Let the Syrians be dealt with by those countries much closer.
thecolonels
I mean, cut down on extrinsic spending, but harboring refugees is cheaper than, say, invading iraq.
TigerSauce
We can stay out of the mid-east all together and save a ton of money. Including our recent screw-ups with "helping" Syria that started this.

I got downvoted when I said Obama got a lot of hate just because there's racial hatred exists even now.
crookednixon
BUT on the other hand, there are people who like him (and/or voted for him) just because he is black. Not saying that makes the dislike OK.
Mr107
Hey hey hey. It wasn't just because he was black. It's cause the other option was Palin AND he was black.
Nobody7713
Or McCain, or Romney. Both of which also terrible options.

I dislike Obama for a litany of policy reasons, but even I'll admit there's a chunk of people (maybe 5-10%) who dislike him for being black.
PsyduckIsMyFavoritePokemon
Can confirm. Am related to people in that 5-10%. Family functions are always so much fun.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
I'm afraid there's more. Remember the Cheerio ad that feature a mixed race couple? It got a lot of racist hate.
crookednixon
It got a lot of noise yes. But remember, 5% of the USA is 15 million people. Not to mention controversial statements get more news coverage.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
Yeah that's pretty reasonable. I just shocked that it got news coverage.

Or because he's a Democrat. There's a chunk who hate all Democrats, though I have no idea how big that chunk is.

5-10%? Have you been to the deep south? The depth of hatred they have for this man goes beyond reason.

I have not. But how many of them base their hate on JUST him being black? Mississippi has a population of nearly 3 mil. Even if half 1/2

base their dislike of Obama for race alone, that's only 1.5 million people or 0.5% of the whole country. I stand by my 5-10% guess. 2/2

Honestly yes racial hatred exists. However most don't hate Obama for that. They hate him because of the D by his name.
CharmingAndSexyGentlemanStarshipCaptain
- still treated badly. I mean someone posted "The Green Book" in imgur.

I honestly don't think so. I think they dislike him because of the D by his name, but the racial element turns it into hate for too many.
