10,000th Syrian refugee arrives in U.S.

This is a good thing. The disgraceful hate-mongering over it by Donald Trump shames our nation. America has done much to worsen the situation in the Middle East. Taking in families fleeing the devastation and chaos is the very least we can do. When people so vehemently object to this humanitarian action, it is clear that American exceptionalism means never facing the consequences of America’s projection of power around the world. If that is what greatness is all about, we should have no part of it.
