While I can fully understand the situation in Iraq and the millions of people that have displaced throughout the region, I would have to say that increasing the number of those allowed to migrate to the United States is absolutely absurd. Don't get me wrong; I have nothing but sympathy for those who have been forced from their homes, but by dramatically increasing the numbers of migrants from Iraq the the United States would only lead to the endangerment of Americans. Why? Its quite simple. There is no way so safely screen those who have already come hear, letting more in would only worsen the situation. Granted, there is a screening process. But, as is demonstrated by the Iraqi central government (elected by the people to represent the people), corruption is more abundant than the rabid dogs that roam that country. This is certainly not to say that our own government doesn't have its own problems, only that adding more corruption is ludacris at best. Initially, the thought of letting more Iraqis into American may sound like the morally correct thing to do. What would not be morally correct is the one or two Iraqis that would slip through the screening process, and later put the American people in danger. While you may be able to live with that, I for one, can not.

Who granted you this honor? Aren't you and your ancestors all emigrants invading the Cherokee, Apache, and Sioux wild lands? This is a permanent shame that you should bear in mind and teach your children to bear, too.
