Republicans are pushing for a scheme that will provide both the very rich and the extremely poor with perfectly equal “access” to healthcare markets, just as they have equal access to Cartier jewelry, haut couture fashion houses and hopping on a plane for an overnight trip to get measured for bespoke shirts at Charvet’s. The small difference being, of course, that people’s lives and deaths don’t depend on whether they have nicely fitting shirts in their wardrobes.'via Blog this'
the countries that are included — Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Iran, Sudan, and Yemen — have produced virtually no such terrorists; as the Cato Institute documented on Friday night: “Foreigners from those seven nations have killed zero Americans in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1975 and the end of 2015.” Indeed, as of a 2015 study by the New America research center, deaths caused by terrorism from right-wing nationalists since 9/11 have significantly exceeded those from Muslim extremists.

Duncan then makes the key point that “It is no exaggeration to say that many settlers are state-supported militia, defying international law, driving out the rightful inhabitants from their land, and creating an illegal economy at the expense of those who have been cruelly displaced.”"
The population swaps are central to a plan to make demographic changes to parts of Syria, realigning the country into zones of influence that backers of Bashar al-Assad, led by Iran, can directly control and use to advance broader interests.
