10,000 refugees from Burundi coming to U.S.

[Hondo]

Can you believe this, just where are you going to place these people, NY, S.F. L.A.? My guess is somewhere in Texas[huh] I'm all for helping these people but there are so many questions left unanswered, whos paying for this, the U.S. tax payer?

This is one of those moments when I wish we could talk about politics again.

Perhaps they'll settle all the new Burundi refugees next to the Somalians. Then they'll engage in tribal warfare/persecution of each other, and we'll have to send them elsewhere. Maybe Mexico ... it's looking a bit empty these days.

Renee, you take care of your own country's immigrant "question", and we'll take care of ours. Deal? Auf Wiedersehen und auf Wiederschauen!

Doesn't Fit

I'm afriad this topic just doesn't pass the test. "Is it a fit? Does it fit with what The Fedora Lounge is about?"

I don't think so. No harm, no foul, but closed.
