Funny when I look at most Hate Groups in this country such as the KKK, Neo Nazis or the other white supremacy groups along with the Oklahoma City Bomber aren't they all Christian in their beliefs?
You forgot to include BLM and Occupy Wall Street in your list of domestic terror groups.
The shameful thing, not even a close misquote - President Obama said the idea of screening based on Religion is shameful (and I'll add stupid). By the way Fox News Shepard Smith had the same thoughts as President Obama:
While we're busy finger pointing about the semantics of words, no real progression of thought is made on this issue.
This refugee thing seems similar to the Ebola Panic of 2014 that Fox News continued to milk long after other media ceased reporting. Fox suddenly ceased reporting immediately after the mid terms.
Early on, Smith broke with the Fox News agenda and called out the 24/7 prolonged fear mongering for what it was- politics. I figure he remains employed so Fox can pretend to be fair and balanced.
About 70 million legally enter the US each year from all over the world, for purposes of tourism, business and education. It appears most of those involved in the Paris attacks had French or Belgium passports. They could have easily chosen to visit the US with the same intentions.
No reason to think refugees would pose a greater risk than the next inbound international flight from anywhere.
Having said this, my preference is to put a hold on all future refugees from anywhere until we sort out the 30 year old illegal immigration thing once and for all.
Just wrote an email to our Governor of Pa telling him to rethink his partisan decision to allow Syrian refugees in. He's pretty far left but hopefully public opinion will sway him to change his mind.
Strawman argument. They were foreigners that immigrated there. THAT is the issue. End of story.
It's not a strawman, it's something I pointed out earlier. The US currently has 78,934 Syrian immigrants, and God knows how many who are US born children of immigrants, we also have tourists, students and workers on visas from the middle east but you want to continue pounding your chest about a plan to allow 10,000 well vetted Syrians refugee status in the US. Give me a break, this is just political posturing nothing else. Next week you will be back to talking about how Obama forgot to shake hands with someone and brought shame on the US or that Michelle eats too much healthy food.

If anyone wanting to enter our country is doing it because they desire to be an American and assimilate to our culture and our values then fine. But, if they are not willing to do that, let them go elsewhere.
While technically correct, we are fairly isolated from most of the world's exporters of refugees. Most of the nations above us on this list share borders with war zones.
Barak Obama wants to import terrorists to the USA so they can kill Americans and Obama wants to lecture Americans and tell us it is un-American to not let terrorists come here and kill us.
