You’re allowed to aid; but you refuse to believe a nation is allowed to say “not here”.

If your aim is to help, then the elected government has said find a different way so what’s your next move?

As a lifelong Democrat, I’m forced to conclude this appeal from a certain segment of hardline liberals isn’t in good faith.

You may not like it and it’s shitty, but Hamas’ attack last year changed things for me; and I’m guessing I’m not the only silent centrist who thinks this.

Every lie of omission by extremist liberals deepens my suspicions.

A nation can say "not here" to suffering people in need of medical aid, driven by a self described "proud Islamophobe". I personally think that is monstrous.

[nobodyandproud]

So you’re declaring a nation can’t help without putting itself at unnecessary risk.

I’d say a no-compromise outlook is monstrous. That’s the position of a zealot and is rightly distrusted.

I entertained this discussion, but the bad faith is clear and I won’t be wasting any further time.

I really deeply and truly do not understand how an injured child coming to the US on a temporary visa is an "unnecessary risk."

When a self-describe "proud Islamophobe" proposes a policy like this, I believe her that it is motivated by hating muslims.
