There's been a lot of buzz the last few days about World War III. President Donald Trump has promised no more wars, but also posted "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" in all-caps to Truth Social, along with the tidbit that the U.S. knows exactly where the Ayatollah Khamenei is holded up. "He is an easy target, but he is safe there," posted Trump. "We are not going to take him out (kill!!), at least not for now." We're hoping "we" means Israel.
One concern that a couple of conservatives have had is that the United States will end up taking in refugees from Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East.
A lot of people are very wary of foreign wars because every single time we enter one, we end up importing a sizeable portion of that foreign country’s population. Regardless of the President’s political party. Entire American cities taken over.

Can you really blame them?
How long ago was the Battle of Mogadishu? 30 years ago?

And we’re STILL bringing Somalians here!
And our most famous Somalian refugee is saying that the United States is "turning into one of the worst countries on Earth." That's appreciation.
This is the only argument against bombing Iran I find remotely compelling.

I have zero interest in importing more people who do not share our culture or values.

Ask Europe how well that's working out.
No matter what happens, we can't take in a single refugee from the region. Zero.

No more refugees.

ZERO is the correct number.

Let the countries that are neighbors take in the refugees.

The people who travel all the way to America aren't refugees.
They are economical migrants.
We'd had a lot of that lately.
Amen to that. We've had enough of these refugee scams.

No matter what happens, that's exactly what the end result is going to be.

But not just us, Europe as well.
It's going to happen. Look at every other war in the Middle East.

This might be the best reason yet for the United States to keep its distance from Iran and Israel's war.
