It is a trojan horse. Do not let the Islamophilic Democrats bring them in, only for the sake of a few thousand votes.
American interests come first and foremost.

That is pure opinion. Do you have any hard data on why you think that? Do you have any idea how many Muslims are on public assistance in the U.S.?

Very heavy use of welfare programs by Middle Eastern refugees, and the fact that they have only 10.5 years of education on average, makes it likely that it will be many years, if ever, before this population will cease to be a net fiscal drain on public coffers — using more in public services than they pay in taxes.

Most Syrian refugees coming to U.S. are women, children

Contrary to what many have said, the vetting process is extremely rigorous and time-comsuming.

Of the 4 million Syrian refugees, the U.S. has only approved 10,000, to date. Not exactly teeming hordes.
You can be naive enough to believe the spin that comes out of the White House. I'll go with what the FBI and CIA Directors, as well as counterterrorist experts have stated when they said they do not have an adequate system in place to properly vet them.

So if it can happen to them. What makes you think Syrian born children won't end up that way? I'm not saying all of them will I just think that you have many Syrian children who are going to be coming to foreign soil and grow up with a lot of questions about there past.

I just think that if ISIS is able to recruit American children they will have an even more successful rate of Syrian refugees. Especially if some of these Syrian refugees end up living in poverty and hard life here in the states.
Since the September 11 attack, the US has accepted 745,000 refugees from around the world. Zero of these refugees have been arrested on domestic terrorism charges.

Terrorism is not the only concern.
Take a look and see for yourself.

How will letting them into the country increase our "greatness"? Specifics, please.

Don't want 10.000 Syrian women and children refugees. They are going to need too much government aid if the women can't find work or can't work due to needing to take care of their children. And more children will mean higher costs to us taxpayers in order to put them through our public school system. And what about needing additional school personnel to teach them English or translate for them? Our public schools cost us too much as it is.

I say no to the US taking in Syrian refugees. Look at what happened in Germany.

They will work hard and contribute to the economy. Most immigrants do.
