US could admit tens of thousands of Iraqi refugees by '09.

Sure - join the party. We've been getting boatloads of them in Europe for years now.

I think the US should own all the countries around the world. If that is the case, we'll get rid of all illegals for good!

Note: The refugees migrating aren't illegals. They are brought here so the US can takeover their land.

First things first. Add USCIS staff so our applications don't get processed any slower.

I wouldn't go so far as to putting them ahead of the line but I am glad that they will be coming here,the more the merrier indeed !

When this country goes around starting unecessary wars,the least it can do is receive the refugees.

Yes, let's compound one mistake by making a few more.

ok i know mr bush messed up their life there but really........perviz and i have been waiting a year and we are STILL in security .........how is it they can process iraqi thru security faster than a doctor from INDIA??????

[palilover 1]

I agree that the least we can do is give them a home (temporary or otherwise) since the US messed up their home to begin with.

But getting ahead of the line? Processing faster?

I am friends with people who were refugees and they had to wait for 3 years to get approved. Many of the people sit in refugee camps for years before they make it to this country. It is true that they have organizations to help them, but their wait is longer. Now once they are approved by USCIS.....I don't know how much faster it is for them. But I know that getting refugee status in this country is no walk in the park either.

There is red tape along with that as well just like ours. Just as we have to prove our marriage was based on good intentions and not fraud, the average refugee from country X,Y,Z cannot just walk up to an embassy and say "You bombed our country, now give me a home". They have to prove that their lives are in danger in their given situation and is unliveable.

I think it is fair for those Iraqis. Their lives were destroyed by the war. Families got killed in between the battles. It's only right for the US to accept fault and take in those people.

I came into the US as a refugee after the Vietnam War. The US bombed Cambodia, a neutral country, to get rid of the Ho Chi Minh trail that stretch through Laos, into Cambodia, then into Vietnam. As a result, they not only destroyed the communist trail, but, killed thousands of Cambodias while carpet bombing their land. Most of my family member died, aunts, and uncles, cousins...I think it's reasonable to do for the US.
