Yes, it is intellectually dishonest. The submission&#x2F;posted website does suggest inviting refugees into one&#x27;s own home, but you are the one who suggested that we should compare &quot;fear of refugees on a national level&quot; (ashleyp&#x27;s post &quot;But what&#x27;s the fear about letting refugees into the country?&quot;) to &quot;fear of letting a stranger into one&#x27;s home&quot; (your post &quot;How many homeless people do you let crash at your place each night?&quot;) That&#x27;s not a sound comparison. Nowhere has anyone stated that <i>you</i> (the impersonal you) should take refugees in, while I don&#x27;t.<p>I am not suggesting that any individual be mandated to keep refugees (or anyone that they don&#x27;t want) in their home.  I am suggesting that pooled resources (taxes, which aren&#x27;t &quot;someone else&#x27;s resources&quot;) go towards maximizing the benefit for the most number of people, inclusive of immigrants.
