So I looked at these to see if they have any reasonableness or express genuine concerns.
The first does. It expresses a preference for domestic spending over spending on people from outside the country and recognizes perceived problems faced in Europe about which the poster is concerned.
The second, I don't see what the pipeline has to do with it, but it's not unreasonable to think about whether there are other ways we could help these people. Probably not productive, though.
Third one - the question of why 25,000, specifically, is fair enough. I also asked whether there was a way to spend more efficiently to allow a greater volume of refugees at a lower cost per person - we might end up giving them less of a soft landing here, but there's a worthwhile discussion to be had as to whether assistance for people to get them on their feet once here should be prioritized over getting more of them out of a situation where they could die.
I'm not aware of the last one being an accurate representation of any refugees in Europe, so absent some basis I guess I'll concede that one. But I don't get why you thought the first three posts "didn't count" as reasonable perspectives.
