There are much easier ways for a terrorist to come into the US than as a refugee... This is about using the refugees as a political tool - less than a dozen out of 783,000 iraq refugees were later convicted of terrorist plotting... This is about abandoning our ideals simply because demagogues are whipping people up and using them to get votes... If they were REALLY concerned about Americans getting killed in the streets, then they would do something about the gun laws that allow 10's of thousands of Americans to be killed by crazy people with guns...

I like what Ben Carson said today: <blockquote> You know, for us to bring 10,000 or 25,000 people over here, that doesn't solve the problem. I mean <b>we need to look at real solutions for the problem and not things that <i>make us feel good about ourselves</i>.</b> Carson visiting refugee camps where Syrians have fled civil war says the U.S. must do more. <b>But bringing 25,000 refugees to the United States does nothing to solve this crisis.</b> Jordan already houses <b>1.4 million</b> refugees; <b>Jordan needs and deserves our help.</b> I don’t see how these incidents relate to ISIS sending it’s faithful to kill Americans.
