Pope Francis denounces 'pathology of indifference' and 'epidemic of animosity' toward outsiders

[josh987654321]

Josh, you all have among the best Homeland Security one can have. Shall I tell you that a year ago they examined evry single corner if my suitcases,and each time I enter I am very carefully scrutinized.?
And more. There are interviews in the Consulates,where they are trained to pick what they need to know?
What else do you all want? I do not get you…that is the US. …
Giosh! I can understand that one is afraid of course but that all of us are suicide bombers because we cross a frontier ,no…numbers can tell you that.
It is like the fear of flying. Yes,it is real fear. But think of it: how many flights a day reach destination worldwide? Take your time…we have to deal with our fears and that is hard…I get that…

I think you misunderstand what I was saying.

I was just mentioning in regards to the 2nd amendment with citizens having guns to combat terrorists, the problem I believe is that when one is dealing with suicide bombers, they are planning on killing themselves anyway, so the threat of death from another citizen carrying a gun for self defense isn’t as much of a deterrent for them as I believe the poster I was responding to was implying.

The Middle East has plenty of guns I believe, but it still happens, and with a bomb, people wont even know, so I don’t believe the USA’s 2nd Amendment is a powerful enough deterrent.

I also didn’t mean for all immigrants or refugees to be assumed ‘suicide bombers’ but that there is such a thing as suicide bombing, and some people do practice it (Particularly from trouble spots in the Middle East).

I hope this has helped

God Bless

Thank you for reading
Josh

Lichtenstein has the highest per capita income on earth, and is a safer place than the U.S. No, I don’t think I should expect to be able to move to Lichtenstein and be afforded the greater safety and wealth they have there.

There are other nations that might not be wealthier but are considerably safer, like Switzerland and Ireland, and no, I don’t think I should feel I have a right to move there.

And I do not qualify for citizenship in two of the three countries with which I “share ethnicity”; specifically, Ireland and Italy. I would qualify for citizenship in the third; France, (Alsace) but not because of ethnicity. I would qualify for citizenship in France solely because I was born in the Louisiana Territory. Makes no sense, but it’s true.

But to my knowledge, no other country allows people free entry and legitimacy simply because they feel threatened in their home countries or say they do. Half or more of the population of the earth could rightly claim that.

RR,

The difference is that we are safe and well off to begin with. These people are NOT AT ALL safe nor well off. In fact they fear daily for their lives and those of their loved ones and they wonder what they will eat that day or IF they will get to eat that day. Medical care is a luxury for the weathly, not a right for all regardless of income. The list goes on.

Big difference.

And here is where it does not necessarily have to be US only.
What we may find troublesome in my place, is heaven for other persons. We can live here,somebody else can. Especially under such circumstances.
And also today,that distances are shorter, in such an emergency,who cares if it is close or far from their homes,.Hopefully for them,it would be temporarily. And open to stay.
