Up @Salon on why the US must accept more Syrian refugees: it's a long-term economic investment, too http://www.salon.com/2015/09/09/gop_xenophobia_makes_literally_no_sense_why_accepting_syrian_refugees_isnt_just_a_moral_imperative_its_good_for_america_too/ …

@emptywheel That was after I filed (this AM?), & really only the headline is about the GOP broadly (there's like 1 line referencing Trump) -
@ddayen Lindsey was. Rubio was yesterday AM. -
@emptywheel don't let this incident overlook the argument embedded within for migration to Detroit! -
@ddayen Right. Send the refugees where the worst schools are. -
@emptywheel many Iraqi refugees actually migrated there - & typically the metro area - on their own, no matter where they were settled. -
@ddayen As I've said, by all means bring refugees to SE MI. Put them in less underpopulated but still emptying places that DO have services. -
@emptywheel given that there would surely be a special appropriation for their care, they'd likely RAISE the service level in some areas -
@ddayen Because turning around schools that are already in the hands of a tinkering governor happen instantaneously. - 2 more replies
