#6  The moral obligation of any legitimate government is to provide security to its citizens, their families and their property. If the government fails or refuses to do that, it has no legitimacy. The government of the United States derives its powers from its citizens not from the UN. And that is one of the reasons you got Trump.

#4  ...above all people who had good reason to leave their country with prospects of being recognized as refugees.

Well, Mr UN refugee guy it would seem that statement doesn't square up with the facts. Initial reports say that most of the illegal border crossers' VISA's are either expired or close to it. That would indicate they didn't or won't qualify for refugee status. Really it's now just a matter of which country is gonna cave in or pay to ship em back.

#2  Raises an interesting ethics question. Canadians (people, not ruling elites) clearly don't deserve them - nobody deserves to have Muslim neighbors. On the other hand, neither do Americans - who did vote for somebody who promised to rid them of this plague.
So, the question is: does USA has a moral obligation to guard the border from its side --- detain the fleeing Muslims and ship them back to Dar?
