Many Germans welcome Syrians because they believe they are better educated, speak English, are more cultured and in general more likely to pursue an education and improve their country.   At least this is what I've heard said and have read in the local opinion posts.    Great for them maybe.  But why would WE the People take bring them to the USA except in line with our own interests and priorities?  Are they being persecuted for being Muslim?    I am for helping the victims of religious persecution so I am 100% for helping any Christian or Jew from barbaric, genocidalor threat.  Or others, as long as they don't come with a religion that is openly hostile to the culture and founding principles of the USA, and middle Eastern Islam does come with that threat.   To accept Muslims from countries that hate Israel and have neither a culture of religious tolerance nor respect for basic human rights, in particular those of women - that is just working to liquidate your own civilization - something we should NOT DO.
