> as long as those people leaving are straight, white males, or their families, they're being told "good riddance"

This is totally untrue. As long as it's selfish, unpatriotic people leaving, I couldn't care less what their skin color or sexual orientation is.

Well if they are you're probably getting a greater amount of other selfish, unpatriotic people to replace them so idk if it's a net gain from your pov.

Patriotism is the only thing that's kept me here so long, despite what Emily Thornberry thinks of it.

Selfish? I'll take that. I'm choosing to put the future of my children ahead of those who couldn't care less about them in any respect.

I doubt that's the case; people who want to live in a country are usually more patriotic than those who don't want to live in it, in my experience.

Sounds like you’re actually proving the parents point…

What is your experience of this?

Depends on why they are there. Refugees tend to care about the country they came from more and the one they landed in they view as a temporary shelter.
