Anne Frank and her family were also denied entry as refugees to the U.S.



The following is my response to the  Washington Post 11/24/2015 article "Anne Frank and her family were also denied entry as refugees to the U.S." Which is a tear jerking left wing attempt to paint all those who are careful with immigrants as heartless monsters uncaring about human life.
The only parallel between the US actions in WWII and todays actions in Syria are that in both occasions the US refused to use force to safeguard oppressed and endangered people. Eisenhower refused to bomb the train tracks leading to Auschwitz, even though bombs were available, and he was made aware of the plight of the Jews. Obama refuses to create a safe no-fly zone in Syria, even though this would not be difficult to do, or require ground troops. 
 
Jews, in WWII time frame did not have a fanatic subgroup thirsting for German blood, they did not engage in terrorism, they were lambs led to the slaughter. Syrians do have such a subgroup. Its called Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc. and just a few errors can cause hundreds of dead to this country. 9 killed 3K civilians in the US, 8 killed over 100 in France and 1 or 2 caused Belgium to close down for 5 days. How much collateral damage do we need to accept to be "humanitarian" instead of creating a safe zone in Syria? How much collateral damage do the poor civilians of Syria accept before Assad, who has killed over 300K of them, and displace over 2 million is overthrown?

Response to JASON RUSSELL: The Christian Case for taking in Syrian Refugees.


The case for taking in Syrian Refugees

This is a good, solid case made from faith and conviction.

It is wrong when it claims no act of terrorism was committed by a refugee in the US. The Boston Bombers were refugees from Chechnya (Wikipedia)

Not being a Christian I find similar reasons for Compassion and pity in the old testaments, since we were once slaves in the land of Egypt and have over 2000 years of history being a displaced people.

We must save women and children, and permit their husbands or unattached men to fight for freedom in their own countries.
From experience we know most extremists are males between the ages of 15 and 35, so we need to use this information and:
1. Accept as temporary residence (without possibility of permanency) all women and male children under 14 or male adults over 60.
2. Provide those we do not accept with weaponst and other means to fight for their homes and families.
3. Provide for those unfortunates among as as we provide for others within our society who are not refugees.

Inmigration from Middle East

We have the parameters for a humanitarian immigration policy from the ME.
1. Christians, minority sects (like the Druze) who have been oppressed by both Shiite and Sunil Arabs should be allowed in, if they know their religion enough to convince experts.
2. Arab men (Sunni or Shiite) and teen boys between 15 and 55 should be excluded from consideration. This will prevent family heads from being established here while providing sanctuary to those preventing the men to fight for their country.  Boys 15 and 18, unfortunately have already been shown to be frequent perpetrators of minor offenses (stonings) and quite often of more dangerous activities (stabbing and the use of firearms).
3. Women and children not covered by 2 can be allowed into the country within limits established by our wish to maintain our social mix.

These parameters are common sense and congruent with our national experience and our world experience. They apply equally to refugees and to economic migrants, although refugees should be protected within the country with the conflict.
