Refugees

I don't really want to tie up my blog in the land of political biases but I have to bring up this point because I find this meme circulating the internet to be really freaking ironic.  

It's ironic on many levels. The most notable in my opinion are as follows:  1) (the more obvious statement the meme makes) many in our country are trying to refuse refugees to come into "our country", the country we once entered as refugees 2) it's also ironic because we came in as refugees and it didn't go so well for the Native Americans....so it reaffirms the stance that the insurgence of refugees is quite a risky business that may not be in the best interest of our inhabitants. This logic is funny because it is not at all the point the meme makes.  It's interesting the inferences we have when we use our own mind instead of guided thoughts handed out on the internet.
