I realize that this issue has led to a morass of misinformation and fear mongering.....but I figure there may be a few people who would like to read something that is based on factual info and sound reasoning.
Here it is.
Six Reasons to Welcome Syrian Refugees After Paris | Niskanen Center
The enemy of our enemy is our friend?
There is precedent for America refusing to accept political refugees. Then, the fear was that NAZI's would sneak in with the fleeing Jews. Will we remember our history?
Let's indeed try some "factual info and sound reasoning."
One, some of the Syrian refugees who have gone into other countries have wreaked havoc there.
Two, surveys done among Syrian refugees have found that a sizable portion of them sympathize with ISIS.
Three, we have no way to verify the identity of most Syrian refugees, as even our own FBI chief has admitted.
Four, journalists have found it very easy to obtain fake Syrian passports.
Five, even those Syrian refugees who might be anti-ISIS could well be pro-Al Qaeda and/or anti-Israeli and anti-American.
Six, with the huge land mass of the Arab world, there is no rational reason that we should have to settle thousands of Syrian refugees. They would be far more at home in a sister Arab country.
Sorry. No refugees from the Middle East have carried out a single terror attack in the US.
You are using the cloak of concern and fear to keep those brown people out. Nutbags pound their chests daily and warn others not to mess with them......but suggest that some poor, weak and hungry refugees get some needed help and they start to cower like scared little puppies at a fireworks show.
It's all *^&%$ WE CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU.
You are delusional. Although no Muslim "refugees" have carried out terrorist attacks in America, Muslim immigrants/visitors have done so.
And what about all the trouble that Muslim "refugees" have caused in other countries just in the last few months? Are you unaware of all the incidents of violence and crime involving Muslim refugees in other nations?
How about the surveys that have found that a sizable portion of Syrian refugees view ISIS favorably? Humm?
New survey shows how many Syrian ‘refugees’ SYMPATHIZE with ISIS and it’s NOT GOOD… » The Right Scoop -
How about the attacks that Syrian refugees have perpetrated against Christian Arabs? No big deal to you?
How about the terrorist attacks that Muslim immigrants have carried out in other nations? Those don't count?
How about the fact that Muslim immigrants, including some here in the U.S., demand their own schools, their own courts, and that public schools recognize Muslim holidays? We just a town council in Maryland vote to recognize a Muslim holiday in response to demands from Muslim parents. Do you have any clue what kinds of virtually autonomous enclaves Muslims have set up in England and France? This is all profusely documented.
Showing heart-breaking pictures of Syrian refugee children is deceptive and dishonest, and is designed to get people to forget about all the facts plainly before our eyes.
