Is that all that it states? Wow. I've been terribly misinformed.
The Constitution says a lot about where powers are delegated. You should read it. But it never says that we have to take war refugees from the Middle East.

The quote on the Statue of Liberty is pretty clear.
It's not law, it's from a poem. Thank you. Next?

Wouldn't accepting these people into our country and showing them the true compassionate ideals we claim to hold be more effective in turning the worldwide view away from Us vs. Them or this religion vs. that religion towards Peaceful Citizens of the World vs. Radical Terrorists?
Holy shite. You just solved all of the world's problems.
No-that wouldn't do a damn thing. We've been doing it for years, and guess what-they're still blowing themselves up and still itching to get over here and kill the frick out of us. They don't give a damn.

In this capacity, sorry I didn't mean to give a summary of the entire constitution. I am not a constitutional scholar, but based on recent articles discussing this subject, it seems to me that the federal government supersedes state governments regarding immigration policy. Again, and as I said before, you can bet there is a lot of debate regarding this issue going on.
regarding the statue of liberty - my original post was regarding the "ideals" of this country. I think the only poem placed on the Statue of Liberty would probably be at least a relevant indicator of how the people of that time period felt. The constitution doesn't say "we must take on refugees" nor does it say "we cannot take on refugees if there is the potential for lost american lives (to my knowledge at least". The country will make a decision - i have said how i feel about the debate. (and I am a conservative leaning person fwiw at least in economic and most social issues)

I was more referring to the people we let in - as in show them what this country is truly about - you are right, i don't think you can change the idea of an entrenched radical.
