You really want to help those children?
Take in more refugees.
Or, are you just scared of people who aren't the same as you?

I have to agree with Joe Lieberman, and add that getting caught on a hot microphone telling Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin that "after the election" was a complete disgrace to our nation.

The Sunni's to Saudi Arabia, the shiite's to Iran, problem solved. Two countries that do not have a civil war going on.

Good idea. Yank them out of an environment of language, culture, and religion that is all they know, fly them half-way around the world, and dump into some place totally alien to them. Where they will be treated as refugees for the rest of their lives.
Maybe a better way to help them is to relocate them as close to home and as close to their culture as possible?

You know what the outrage is? The torture you put on that supposed logic you just displayed.

Watch it, Dave, talk like that is going to ruin my reputation with both extremes of the political spectrum.

The majority adjust very well - especially kids.
Here's an example of what a benevolent world power does:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration...-refugees.html
Needless to say, the upside of following this example is beyond many people.

It doesn't matter... his followers are robots. I've actually argued with people on here about the stupidity of this tweet. Not surprisingly they're the same people explaining to me Trumps 4D chess in this one...
Was he and his followers wrong then? Or wrong now?
Correct answer: The Donald is infallible and never wrong.

They are better off in another Muslim Middle East country where they can sexually assault women and get away with it.

Yeah, especially the ones that haven't started to walk or talk yet.
Why are so many refugees in the EU, even the families with young kids, miserable and looking for a way out?
Here is a long article written by a woman whose parents were immigrants to the US, not refugees. She is clearly proud to be an American, but writes an article titled: "Why We Should Resettle Refugees in Their Own Lands".
A brief sample, but I highly recommend reading the whole thing.
Quote:
Why Refugees Won’t Assimilate Well
Assimilation is difficult and develops slowly—if at all anymore. In the present day, there are two problems with it: As American culture has become more decadent and sexually licentious, the threshold for assimilation has become steep. Immigrants from cultures like the Middle East that hold to (among other traditions) traditional sexual mores (whether Muslim or Christian) become clannish and isolate themselves from the surrounding American culture to protect themselves and their children. The culture eventually corrupts their children, and the family degenerates.
That is one issue. The other is that immigrants of today are unlike the immigrants of yesteryear. Although it is true that some still come for better education and free enterprise, most come out of necessity—they come because they don’t want to die in war. This type of refugee situation, which has been going on since the Iraqi diaspora after Saddam was toppled and recently flared up again with the Syrian refugee crisis, brings people who see America as better than death.
Hence, they will take whatever America wants to give but will keep themselves isolated. They have no interest in assimilating. Some Muslims have even taken to building their own homeschooling cooperatives rather than sending their children to American public schools. How much American history do you think they will learn, and with what bias?
