They are being let in western Europe and the U.S. Obviously, not all of them are bad people, not 50%, not 25%, not 10%, but just maybe 1/2 of 1% are.
So 200,000 x .005 would = 1,000. OK, maybe less than 1000 will be vindictive and accept ISIS's agenda, Oh, sure the U.S. vetting will give us all assurances to carry on.
My question is with Obama's infatuation with equality and adhering to anything the LGBT community wants. So why accept radicals Muslims (you know there will be some among the 200k) who are not accepting of gays, American values, or any western value. They havebeheaded Christians across the middle-east, our own TV reporters, photographers, soldiers and gays were pushed off tall buildings recently.
I guess once that crap happens in the U.S., then the U.S. will pay attention and admit its mistake of a mass Syrian immigration which will be too late. Oh wait, we've had Americans claim ISIS allegiance and try to behead people, (Boston police officer, a co-worker in Texas manufacturing plant).
So, do we really want ISIS to grow in the U.S. with more potential Middle-eastern Muslims from Iraq, Syria or make every effort possible for it to decrease? Do we want more news inside our borders or less?
Close the borders. It is a tough decision but strong measures are necessary because we live in a different world than 200 years ago.
Put aside your American values of unwavering generosity because your guests may turn the country upside down.
Yes, I know we have American-born youth joining ISIS but why make it easier? I am a humanistic person but I am a survivalist first.
On a side note regarding a nother world power and ISIS; AFAIK, China's govt. has no such internal ISIS problems. Yet,
ISIS has declared war on them too.
So, is this good for the U.S.?
People need to march on Washington to stop it. A 2 million-man march. A large statement needs to be made. Or should we wait and let it mature into another Boston marathon bombing. Or worse, simultaneous attacks across the nation.
A little BG. I grew up in L.A. and had good friends from all ethnicities. Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Persian, Brazil, Caucasian, Black, Indian, German... so need to throw out a ignorant racist reply.
