Yeah, not all people facing persecution are poor. Lots of wealthy Jews were sent to concentration camps. If suddenly my home was the site of a war, I’m pretty sure one of few things I’d flee with would be my iPhone.

“Mother of Exiles,” for fuck’s sake. At this point we ought to gift her to Germany. We don't deserve her.

“Look, I have sympathy for them and what happened to their country, but let’s call them what they are: economic migrants”

So you acknowledge “what happened in their country,” but ultimately reach the conclusion that they are economic migrants?

Even if that’s the only outfit they have - REAL REFUGEES look like the street urchins from Les Miserables.

Yes. They have smartphones. They are escaping a war torn region and have had to travel thousands of miles across two continents, why should that mean they have to be dirt poor with no possessions???

I agree. Their material possessions clearly suggest they weren’t that badly off economically before... So when they have left, they must have done it for non-economic reasons. Say, not wanting to get killed by either ISIS or Assad. Which clearly makes them legitimate refugees and makes it our moral duty to provide…

God I know, right?!? I hate it when people from war torn countries don’t look poor/destitute/pitiful enough. Fucking posers.

Because if you had to leave your home under threat of death, you’d be naked and not bring any way to contact anyone or access any information, right?

You need to get your information from more outlets than FoxNews.

Funny how the GOP paranoid bigots *totally forget* the Statue of Liberty’s like, a thing.

All I’ll say about that is that high end clothes have been donated, and you can get a used basic smartphone for like 20 USD. Worth it if it’s the only connection you have with family/friends.

“It would be a real black mark on the United States’ reputation were we to stop this process, though I hope we won’t get to that point.”

Madeline Albright is 78 years old. She was born in fucking 1938 in fucking Czechoslovakia until FUCKING HITLER forced her family into exile in England during the Holocaust (in which THREE of her Grandparents died). She lived through the blitz in London, hiding under a metal fucking table during Nazi bombings.

Did he also put his six favorite toys and a granola bar in his Dora the Explorer backpack and tell Fox News that HE’S RUNNING AWAY AND NEVER COMING BACK AND THEN WON’T YOU BE SORRY!??

This is the beginning of his exit strategy. He never intended to get this far and is desperate for an excuse to flounce out.

Need Anonymous to do another one of their ridiculously rare good things for once and get the original out in the open.

Really? I though only we ████ liked having █████ on top of ███ with ██████ █████ lemon chicken ████.

is this a page number? did they redact a page number?

They were just using their black highlighters to point out all the most important stuff!
