I was on the fence on this issue, but after the recent attacks that continue to plague Europe, I strongly believe we should stop accepting Syrian refugees at this point.

No. Their values are not compatible with those of Western countries. Besides, we have enough issues in this country already. We do not need to import people from the third world. There is no upside.

I think if we accept refugees (actual refugees), we should only accept families. And we do need to tighten up border security and have more expectations that they assimilate. They can still be Muslim. They can still hold on to parts of their culture and heiritage. That's fine. But we need to start telling immigrants who think that when they come here, everyone needs to change their views to git their own to go back to where they came from. In the same way, I should waltz into Iran and start expecting everyone to do things my way.

Basically if you don't have a live and let live principles on most things, something highly religious people of any faith often lack, you should leave. We can't get rid of the WBC, but we can deport Syrian migrants who think women dressed like 'whores' should be in prison.

We have enough people in our country that need help. We have a lot of infrastructure that needs repairing.

However, more so... France has had a big problem for awhile with the Muslims they accepted into their country because they are for the most part, poor and that has caused many to become angry at France.

If we accept hordes of Syrian refugees who have nothing, but the clothes they are wearing... the vast majority will remain poor and see the ugly side of our country. This will lead them to want to commit crimes, join terrorist organizations and just be a burden to society.

When the individuals perception of "dressed like whores" refers to women that are not completely covered from head to toe with virtually no part of their skin showing, problems may very well arise.

And prison is nice thinking. Death is likely more what they have in mind.

As soon as I saw the EU's plan to accept infinity "refugees" into the West last year I knew this was going to happen. You can say that this "isn't Europe" and that's true, we haven't accepted millions of young military aged males into our nation. We will be Europe though if we do that and I hope you enjoy the cultural enrichment that comes with these "refugees": machetes, mass shootings, suicide bombings, death by semi-truck...ahhh the wonders of diversity.

Yes, the people in America have had it good long enough, it's time to let someone else have a turn. We should embrace terrorists with open arms. They are just misunderstood. If we show them love and compassion they will understand and not hate the infidel Americans.

Americans have no right to the lands they stole at gunpoint from the savage indians, it should all be given back and everyone should thank allah for this opportunity to fix this injustice. All Americans should be dispossessed from their homes and their properties and jobs should be turned over to refugees and illegal aliens. They deserve a turn too. America has had sovereignty far too long already and it should become a muslim and hispanic state. Put all the Americans of European descent into work camps until they die as the infidels deserve.
