TLD: America is not the world's refugee center. Trying to do that will only bring about our own economic collapse. Those people coming across should be taken back where they came from, given a cheap rifle and some ammo, and told "fix your own country." We have a lot of problems of our own, and we cannot afford to fix the world. We are not that rich. We are the world's greatest debtor nation.

Alan Archibald Lane is right!
"America is not the world's refugee center."
Not by a long shot.
In fact, Islamic countries are the world's foremost refugee centers. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../where-do-worlds...
I continually marvel that actual, factual truth routinely contradicts the non-factual opinions of American "cruelists" masquerading as "conservatives."
Stephen Colbert refers to "truth's well-known left-wing bias" and Vietnam war resister, Rev. William Sloane Coffin titled a book "The Heart Leans To The Left."
I do nor expect people with no heart to understand this: indeed, their opacity is the cornerstone of America's Great Epistemological Divide. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../strict-father-and...
Even so, please remember that conservatives - typically captive to myopic passions-of-the-moment - were the most zealous supporters of the Vietnam and Iraq debacles. (BTW... Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's "The Vietnam War" -- with a well-earned 9.2 rating on IMDb -- is currently streaming on Netflix. https://www.netflix.com/title/80997770)
However, when bellicose tempers cooled, most jingoistic conservatives -- like Trump himself -- came to see those wars for the catastrophic bullshit they were.
In fact, Donald's view of The Iraq War was the single most truthful thing said during the Republican candidate debates in 2016.

Getting back to Lane's comments...
His belief that "fraud, waste and abuse" is a significant cause of America's woes is a make-believe mantra to mollify the addlepates who believe "opinion trumps truth."

Conveniently, "waste, fraud and abuse" -- "Om Mani Padme Hum" -- lays blame at the door of government (while seeming to justify its categorical derrogation), but deceptively exculpates the plutocrats who are the real culprits who have stolen the country and trashed The American Dream.
