[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 667881, member: 17461"] D H came to this country with his family when he was ten. The difference between our families immigrating and an influx of refugees coming in has to do with the preparation each of our families had to make prior to entering the country. Immunizations, health status relative to contagious disease, provision for living quarters and work ~ all these things had to be in order before a family could immigrate. The danger in what seems to be happening now is that the systems in place to accomplish objectives in meaningful, orderly ways are being stressed beyond the breaking point, especially as regards cultural norms and cultural identity. Without the rule of law, we have no reliable way to chart our courses or to reach consensus on who we are or what we value or where we are going. That the majority of refugees are young males with nothing, and with nothing to protect (their families) is disturbing. We are being shown women and children or grief stricken fathers. Saudi Arabia has refused to take refugees. What does Saudi Arabia know about this situation that we are not being told? That would be an excellent question to learn the answer to. Why has Saudi Arabia refused to offer assistance. Cedar Native Americans had no option but to accept the overwhelming numbers of immigrants pouring in to what was once their land. Their numbers were decimated, their cultures denigrated and destroyed. [/QUOTE]
