So what's the big deal? Bring 'em here

Won’t you be my neighbor? Selectman Sandy Litvak greets new arrivals as they land at Greenwich Point
Turkey threatens to unleash 3.5 million refugees, and the Europeans don’t want them.
In an interview with Turkish television channel TGRT Haber on July 22, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Çavuşoğlu said that Turkey was backing out of the migrant deal because the EU had failed to honor its pledge to grant Turkish passport holders visa-free access to 26 European countries. "We have suspended the readmission agreement," he said. "We will not wait at the EU's door."
A day earlier, Turkish Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu accused European countries of leaving Turkey alone to deal with the migration issue. In comments published by the state news agency Anadolu Agency, he warned: "We are facing the biggest wave of migration in history. If we open the floodgates, no European government will be able to survive for more than six months. We advise them not to try our patience."
Turkey currently hosts an estimated 3.5 million migrants and refugees — mainly Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans. Many of these people presumably would migrate to Europe if given the opportunity to do so.
Not to mention the “tens of millions” of native Turks who are demanding free passage into the western countries of their choice.
The Europeans seem wary of admitting still more beggars, but Greenwich Democrats were quick to welcome the possibility of new arrivals. “An illegal immigrant is just a friend I haven’t met yet,” Jimbo Himes told FWIW. “And a friend who will bring me taffy? Priceless.”
“No human being is illegal”, Greenwich First Selectman candidate Jill Überlander insisted to our reporter. “As Marianne so beautifully pointed out last night, all we need is love”.
FWIW: “So the Democrat/Greenwich Invisible platform will call for free immigration of 50 million Turks into the country?”
Überlander: “That’s racist.”
FWiW: “Well okay, how about locally? We ’re putting up 36 new units of housing at Armstrong Court. Will those all be turned over to our new friends, or will the Guatemalans get their share?”
Überlander: “That’s racist”.
FWIW: “Does your platform call for our beaches to be ‘border free’ for all comers? Including Stamford residents?”
Überlander: “That’s racist.”
FWIW: “How about abolishing residency requirements for our public schools?”
Überlander: “You’re just a big poopy head!”
Whereupon the interview was cut short by the arrival of Dick, “Don’t get between me and a camera” Blumenthal, with television crew in tow — our reporter was forced to flee before being trampled.
