    Maybe, f--- idk, cause theres still the whole thing with overpopulation & economic damage. If bigger countries like China, Russia, U.S, etc. were to try something like this, peace could be a future possibility, yes, but the two things i mentioned (overpopulation & economic damage) are also a big possibility, and those two things (as i'm sure you know) can create a slew of bad things like joblessness, homelessness, problems with trade, famine, etc.

    It would take a WHILE for these massive countries to adapt to this, to work out these problems that come with opening borders (im talkin decades on decades on decades)

    I like Rubio. He does remind me of Obama but he speaks with more passion. I think he has the best chance to beat Hilary also. I'm still with Trump. I love and hate him though. I just think right now we need someone who is telling it like it is.. so I can overlook the bad. Would be nice to be a rich country again also.

    agreed -- he'd be an awful president, lets be clear... so his candidacy scares me

    Not everyone bases their political views on the type of music they listen to.

    Not fair to say at this point. Its not too early to say he couldn't be worse then Obama though.

    How about stop funding / recruiting / arming rebels (essentially terror cells) to fight against an authoritarian but stable president such as Assad?

    Well honestly in my case I was 15 and stupid when I got interested in rap and I liked democrats. As I grew older and smarter I realized they aren't interested in bettering the country, just themselves and wanna push their liberal agendas on everyone. In short, I was able to un brainwash myself.

    What's the point of an immigration process if we can't trust it to allow and disapprove people that don't belong in the country they are applying to become a citizen of?

    Everyone talks about how America is equipped and able to process matters on a higher level than most countries, but to simply just say "no" without even considering the pros and cons seems a bit premature to me. No one likes terrorist attacks in the backyard of their own country, but don't let one or two events deter you away from trusting a process that our government made. If you don't like the process, don't complain about it, say or do something that will improve it.

    The problem is a very dangerous terrorist group has declared they will pose as refugees and attack our cities. There isn't a good enough process in place to keep us safe when were bringing in potentially 100000 people with no proper screening.

    What leg work have you done or anyone for that matter to come to this conclusion? Not trying to call you out or anything. I'm just curious if you know someone or anyone that has done this yet.

    Im just looking at what happened in Paris. Its common sense ISIS will take advantage of this situation. Its common knowledge that we don't have a good enough screening process.

    Again, this is all moot point. Not every state is going to deny the refugees. Once they're in the US, they're in. There's nothing stopping them from traveling state to state like any of us can do.

    didn't mean to start a Rubio debate but it's funny to me that a man born to Cuban refugees would deny Syrian safety. wasn't the USA afraid we'd infiltrate???

    The recruiting and training of rebels in Syria is seriously one of the biggest covert operations the CIA has done till now:

    Just to be clear, I also understand the unwillingness of certain European countries to accept more refugees. Immigration of any sort does have large socio-economic effects.

    It's sad that the countries which could assimilate these refugees the best have shut their boarders. They need to be swiftly condemned.
