Completely barbaric. Not to mention utterly stupid.

We should be welcoming these people. We should be advertising more of them to come. We should be taking in so many of them that it makes Putin foam at the mouth with rage. Every anti-war asylum case from Russia robs money from his war machine and adds a new taxpayer to the US.

Instead we shoot ourselves in the foot because we built a big racism machine for keeping out Mexicans and don't know how to turn it off.

I’m all for reforming our immigration system, but in this case it makes zero sense to just welcome them with open arms. While the vast majority of these refugees are likely exactly what they portray themselves to be (refugees fleeing the Putin regime) we can’t discount the reality that there may well be spies among them. An intense vetting process and increased scrutiny are appropriate.
