text: "Would be Americans"? These people are applying to get into the USA to escape the hardened belief systems and over-population of their warring homelands.  The article refers to American allies in the Middle East, such as Jordan a top recipient of U.S. foreign aid.  The west cannot remake the Middle East. Nations there must take a hard look at the theocracies that drive war there ... where factions of the same belief system are fighting each other even though they share culture and language.  When these types of unreasonable wars were fought in Ireland, no one was afraid to call the warring Catholics and Protestants unreasonable.  The Irish problems at the time were limited education, over-population (families with too many children born into desperate circumstances) and a complete exaggeration  of their 'differences' though they shared culture and language -- in other words, imaginary differences.  Middle East 'allies' should assist their Muslim neighbours -- the West can send funds.
