   @evan The USA is pretty directly responsible for their predicament, we better do whatever we can to help those whom our foreign policy has made homeless.

     @skyfaller even if our willingness to help is what makes them homeless?

     @skyfaller I think the parallel with Viet Nam breaks down when you consider which side is fleeing in each conflict, and which side the US supported.

     @evan I mean, there seems to be parallels with Vietnam, where we accepted a lot of Vietnamese immigrants displaced by our foreign policy (also Afghanistan?).

     I don't know that I'd want to immigrate to a country bearing responsibility for destroying my home, but I think we're obligated to accept them if they do.
