They said the same thing about the South Vietnamese. Conservatives tried to use that as a justification for not accepting refugees. Arguing on one hand refuges would include communists who will murder us in our beds. And the ones that aren't communists need to be forced to return to Vietnam and fight. Or that because they ran away they aren't worthy of help.
