4. tired of you calling these people refugees, these are AMERICANS

GO BABY!!!

10. I think it does these people a disservice to sugar coat their condition.

There's no reason an American can't be a refugee. It highlights our government's sorry response. Most people associate refugees with third world nations. Having them in our own country is a slap in the face- much more than a "displaced American" would be.

11. A week from now, when they start calling them HOMELESS

we'll be wishing they were still framed as refugees.

"Homeless" will do a lot more damage to this situation than "refugee" ever could.

Just watch.

Wolf just said the evacuees/scenes of disaster look like the Sudan

Guess we won't do anything about it then.

Jesus christ.

(It was in response to Elijah Cummings asking to stop calling them refugees).

quicker"

That was from Wolf.

"if Mr. Brown can't handle it, get someone in who can."
