Exactly. These pronouncements from Republican governors and presidential candidates are nothing more than concentrated xenophobia, which the Bible warns against over and over.
You are a liberal idiot.
The Bible doesn't propose that people should migrate,
or that nations should accept uncontrolled immigration which destroys their culture
and economy.
By all means treat those who are living according to our laws as equals and neighbours.
When they break the law, for instance by engaging in treason,
plots to overthrow the rule of Western Law,
importing and acquiring illegal guns and making bombs,
and committing terrorism,
you need to take appropriate actions of national and self-defence,
not create open borders and uncontrolled immmigration policies.
The actual current activity of a large number of terrorists in muslim ghettos,
which shouldn't exist in the first place but were forced upon Europe and the West
by idiotic liberal policies,
requires aggressive surveillance, advanced counter-insurgence techniques,
and military intervention.
The current wave of illegal and uncontrolled immigrants from Africa and the Middle East
need to be rounded up and returned to their countries of origin.
The solution to unrest, poor economic conditions and civil war in these countries
isn't to simply import them all into other countries.
The solution is to repair and build infrastructure, and provide education at the source,
on how to live peacefully and not engage in ridiculous religious jihads.
And by the way, that involves creating local police forces to arrest murdering criminals
and punish them.
If Syrians for instance knew that we would support their government and police,
and that we would help them stop the supply of money and arms to terrorists,
they would actually want to stay in their own country that they love.
The solution is closer to Russia's plan of supporting existing infrastructure and improving it,
while dismantling and undoing the damage done by both Western
and Eastern (Iran, Saudi Arabia) support of terrorists, radicals and insurgents.
Above all, one could selectively bomb the manufacturing plants everywhere in the Middle East
which make and distribute small arms, bombs, RPGs, missiles, etc.
If people aren't given weapons and ammo, they will have to make do with sticks and stones.
That alone would save millions of lives and stop the destruction of infrastructures,
like hospitals and schools that are necessary for peace in every Middle Eastern country.
Don't let them come to the West: Teach them to fix their own countries,
and stop arming them.
Turn their weapons into plowshares. End of story.
The very last thing we should be providing or allowing, is their escape to peaceful countries.
