I apologize, my rhetorical question did not settle the debate.
Responding to differences of opinion with epithets aimed at those who disagree settles the debate. <sarcasm>
BTW, I didn't some up with this question, my immigrant neighbor asked it of my wife and me. She thought of it while waiting in line to renew her US Visa.

Virtue Signalling-
To take a conspicuous but essentially useless action ostensibly to support a good cause but actually to show off how much more moral you are than everybody else.
TED: I see Oscar has changed his profile picture to show his support for refugees.
SCOTT: Has he donated money or time? Is he giving English lessons? Is he making a room available? Has he cancelled all contracts with the federal government?
TED: No, no, he's just virtue signalling.

You're right. Our profit sharing check will be 1/5th of Delta's because we didn't aid the US Government in separating children from their families. Gosh, it kind of sounds like we'll need a new jet order to fulfill that kind of lift. Who's the drama queen?
This is the same US Government you won't trust with your own healthcare, social net, and basic functions; however, good enough to oversee the care of some brown kids you'll never know, right? More pathetic hypocrisy from the party of Trump. Imagine that.
If the USG wants to fly them somewhere then they have their own aircraft. ....or hey maybe Steve Mnuchin and Scott Pruitt could recommend a nice private jet broker.
