I agree, and I've said the same things many times before. But progressives are so guilt ridden, and are so hell bent on guilt tripping the rest of us in the process that they'll cut their nose off to spite their face, just so they can feel all warm and fuzzy about "diversity!"

The vetting process for refugees is far more strict than the vetting process for being born here, and immigrants have a lower crime rate than native-born Americans.

What's not being reported on the news: pretty much all of the other Muslim Americans who are NOT joining DAESH.

If you're really going to get paranoid about 1 bad apple out of hundreds and hundreds of thousands, then I suggest you never leave your house, because your odds of running into a violent criminal among the general public are far higher.

I do think we should put a pause on importing people from certain countries into the US, but that's exactly what the focus should be on. And if any American even considers joining a terrorist group, that needs to be stopped as well.

But let's not draw conclusions about any demographic of US citizens unless they're actually proven guilty.

There is no vetting process. The FBI even said so. Obama lied through his teeth again. If these people aren't in OUR terrorism database, nothing comes up. Add to the fact that ISIS is printing fake passports, nothing will ever come up for the real terrorists.

Hmmm let me think....just two bad worms from a cesspit of islam killed dozens and injured many more and we should be carefree about a toxic ideology so that they can find us again sitting on our a$$ singing kumbaya??? Not happening

I've got some swamp land for sale in Florida, only mildly infested with gators and disease ridden mosquitos, sounds like you'd be interested?

For the record, Republican Jeb Bush was the first person who popped up on my list of people who say you're wrong.

Jeb??? LMAO..I will take the word of the FBI director over his or yours. There is no real vetting process.

On Wednesday, Comey testified before Congress. Speaking before the House Homeland Security Committee, Comey said it was not possible for the U.S. to properly vet the Syrian refugees because there are no data points that would show the past activity of the vast majority of Syrians.

Quote:
“The challenge we’re all talking about is that, we can only query against that (data) which we have collected,” Comey said. “And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home but there would be nothing show up because we have no record on it.

FBI: No way to screen ‘refugees’ coming to U.S.

What's up with this kid's mother, blowing him kisses and placing her hand on her heart? Is she just another mother in denial or does she support her son's goals?

You mean like the Hmong and Somalis?

Nice try. The normal immigration process does this, not refugees from dysfunctional parts of the world.
