Yes, our first concern ought to be the immigrants. But let's be sure to broaden that to include the Middle East. For me, MSW's most striking words in this article are:

"Those refugees coming from the Middle East are fleeing violence that has been made much worse by the U.S. invasion of Iraq and all that followed from that. In justice, we owe these immigrants and refugees a welcome and a helping hand."

Refusing Muslim refugee from the Middle East is not an act of refusing to be charitable; it is a act of refusing to bind the wound one has caused. Sort of like Trump refusing to pay his debts.
