•60% oppose accepting Syrian refugees; 37% in favor
•Historically, Americans have rarely favored accepting refugees
•Eight in 10 Republicans oppose taking in Syrian refugees
PRINCETON, N.J.(Gallup) — Americans, by 60% to 37%, oppose plans for the U.S. to take in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees who are trying to escape the civil war in their country. This is in keeping with Americans’ historical tendency to oppose taking in large numbers of refugees, something that has been evident in similar situations as far back as the 1930s.

I’m opposed to taking in MUSLIMS. We have a 1,400 year track record of how that works out. It took 800 years for Europeans to get them the fuck out of Spain. And that was when Europeans were willing to fight and “discriminate”.
