America claims that they have admitted more than their share of unfortunate refugees from pitiful circumstance and places in the nineteenth century and therefore do not have an obligation to admit ambitious males from Syria and Iraq who might want to resettle to the land of Opportunity.
America further states refugees from Countries South of the American border are currently already sinking "lifeboat America".
Does infinite ideal justice require America to reach out to emigrants from Syria and Iraq looking to immigrate to America?
See Garrett Hardin's 1974 "Psycholgy Today" magazine article":
Lifeboat Ethics: the Case Against Helping the Poor
by Garrett Hardin, Psychology Today, September 1974
for an interesting take on the current migrant problems facing Europe and America today.
Should people in fortunate situations be required risk sinking their Countries unique cultures in the name of infinite ideal justice? It's not a parlor game anymore. Ten of thousands of ambitious and aggressive young men are coming. Who will admit them and where will they call Home in the future?
