Issues Under Fire: US Signals Europe: Close Your Doors to Refugees

Anyone fleeing a war zone will never set foot on American soil. No matter what the circumstances, no Syrian, Afghan or Iraqi will find sanctuary in America. They will find no rest for the weary here. They will find neither pity nor sympathy in the hearts of those calling themselves Americans. And most all, they will find no freedom in America. The message to those seeking refuge from some of the most hellish conditions on earth is, do not look to America for help.

If you’re huddled among masses of tired and poor people yearning to breathe free, you’d better keep stepping because America has slammed the door, raised the gate and filled the moat with alligators. If that’s not enough of a deterrent, armed drones, land mines and gun turrets should keep the world’s homeless, hungry and helpless at bay. While the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island remain open, they only exist as iconic tourist destinations. For $25 USD you can see what America once stood for.
