^ That's not an argument. It's an emotional appeal with a lack of logic. We only have so many resources in the US and a lot of needy people. If we start taking care of foreigners from other nations, it takes away from our own people that we have a responsibility for.
As Americans we need to put American's 1st, don't you agree?

I don't think it's quite that black and white. We have the ability to do more than one thing. We're equally able to provide for needy citizens (which we don't because Republicans view social safety nets as a nonstarter) and refugees (which we don't because Republicans are afraid of the mythical "other").
Instead we cut taxes to enrich the disgustingly wealthy while cutting social programs and education.
