I agree with some of what you say re: world police. But guess why we were forced (on some occasions) to do this? Ever hear of the Cold War? While we had to protect the West from the USSR, Europe got to spend money turning their countries into welfare states instead of preparing to defend themselves. It was just part of being the big guy on the block that came with some consequences: you had to be responsible for leading the charge to crush every bully. Things are now changing in this regard.

Again-where is this printed in the Constitution? It's not.
It's a line from a poem that got printed on a plaque and placed on the Statute of Liberty. When do lines from poems form the basis of our nation's immigration policy?

When they become better than our current immigration policy.

No, it's not in the constitution, but it is inspired by a very prominent time in our history where much of our growth to power was directly linked to the accessibility of our borders for immigrants seeking a better life. Hell, I wouldn't be here otherwise - I'm guessing neither would you.
As to your comment about the Cold War, that shite's been over since '89 - and it was nothing more than a pissing contest between Kruschev and Kennedy/Johnson/Nixon and it also led to a refugee situation in 1975. And just like now, it involved several players whom we previously gave aid and support - Ho Chi Minh, for one.
My point is this: we just keep on making the same mistakes, resulting in the same consequences. Either we stop the rinse and repeat foreign policy of the last 65 years or we are going to keep enduring the same consequences, one of which is housing refugees from the places we are meddling.
We keep sticking our dick in crazy. When that results in making a baby, we have an obligation to support the baby. Maybe one day we'll figure out to stop sticking our dick in crazy.
