...stage for a 'police state" run by the United State?

GENEVA - Unrelenting violence and insecurity in Iraq could cause as many as 1 million Iraqis to flee their homes this year, the world's migration body said Friday.
"The numbers of people that are being displaced are increasing every day," said Jemini Pandayar of the International Organization for Migration. "The security situation is not improving. It's not changing."
Washington announced it will allow about 7,000 Iraqis into the United States this year — up from 202 in 2006 — and will pay more to help Iraq's neighbors cope with the surge of refugees.

And so, now we have created still another problem for millions of innocent people. By now we all know that Bush does not plan to leave Iraq anytime soon. It appears that by the time he leaves office, we'll be so deeply entranched in 'occupation" there will be no immediate way out..

Would you allow potentially thousands more refugees into the U.S.?

(Geneva article, cont'd)
The possibility of neighboring countries, such as Syria, closing their borders would mean even more of the displaced would only be able to get as far as other parts of Iraq.

On Thursday, the U.N. refugee agency appealed to the European Union to do more to protect refugees fleeing Iraq, saying the war was the cause of the biggest displacement of people in the Middle East in recent history.

The US troops are acting as police officers there now.

Please, no refugees here in the USA. Let them go stay on Bush's 10.000 acre ranch in South America, he owes them that much.

On March 20, 2003 there was such a wave of gung-ho emotions about America invading Iraq. Flags were flying on almost every car in the neighborhood. Everyone I knew was rah-rah about entering the Middle East. Four years later, all of that gung-ho attitude is gone. Fickle? Dumb? Wishy-Washy? America has made a decision, we have to stick with it. If so many were against the war in the first place, we wouldn't be there to begin with. We can't change our minds like we change channels on the remote control. Yes, I agree with that we shouldn't have went to Iraq in the first place, only Afghanistan, but we did go to Baghdad. so we have to live with that decision. Unless we are so shallow as a country to think we could just change our minds because now we feel differently about it.

I would not allow any illegals no matter who they are. I strongly agree that our borders must close immediately. I am not against anyone who wont's a better life. But the percentage of crimes, robbery, killing, rape are from illegals. So they skip bond, leave & go back to Mexico or wherever they may be from & show up again crossing into the U.S., more crimes and drugs. Bush needs to stop this! Our Military that is there supposely covering our borders are not allowed to arrest or lay one finger on them. Bush has deceived his own people into thinking he was actually doing something.The man speaks with a forkeed tongue!

They are not fleeing. the UN is designating them as refugees and forcing America to take them. Apparently, we don't look enough like Europe yet.

Follow the money. Somehow the 'International Organization for Migration' has to justify its existence and the global warming debate hasn't been disruptive enough, so the UN throws this at us.

You have to learn to read the fine print instead of acting emotionally to everything the media hands you as news.

think of it, a million iraqi refugees. how many will there be come to usa? how many are former revolutionary guards? how many slip in under the wire? and what's the mix? are they sunni? shi'a? are they both? are they planning on living in the same neighborhoods? will they bring their petty little dispute with them? do they have any money, or does uncle sap give them a voucher?
