In essence, illegal aliens are a bigger threat to the USA because they are in essence un-vetted refugees. We must wake up to this reality as a country! As much as we should refuse Syrian refugees at this time due to the incompetence of the current administration and until they can be reliably vetted, we should also take immediate action to secure our borders and deal with the illegal aliens currently here.

Time to get serious before our country and culture is lost!

Most know it is past time to close the borders to illegals and refugees. The taxpayers cannot afford to carry any more of the load for others. I don't want to learn Spanish or whatever Syrians speak, not any language other than English.

The Central Americans are only worse because they're on our border. At least the ocean separates us from the Syrians. But the two are alike in one way: they both chose to bypass safety in a regional country bordering their own to follow the money trail in western countries.

They are worse for 1 important reason. Unlike refugees who are vetted at least to some degree, illegals are not.
Another reason they are worse is at least the refugees entered legally.

This is one of the stupidest analogies I've ever read. And I'm on C-D!

How was it stupid in your mind?

I found it to be quite apt.
