The answer to your last question is that a free country means we take risk. That's life. Be courageous or be something less, and get over the silly idea that there is a way to be "safe".
You want America to be great? Not "again", because it never has been, not for all Americans. Achieving anything great takes great risk. Freedom is not for p-ssies.

#1 My parents did not come from an area that has an open hostility towards this country. In fact, they came from a country that held and still holds America in high regard.
#2 You avoided my first (and main) point about how are we going to support these people when we have way too many people already out of work and homeless? Jobs? Healthcare? Food/water? Shelter? Education?
#3 You bring up risk and how one needs to take risks to achieve anything great. Ok, how is taking in these refugees achieving anything when there are other ways of assisting them with lower risk. Looking to lessen the risk on something is not dumb, but smart.
#4 America won't be great for everyone and that's ok. America is great for my family and I even at times we do something I may not agree with. I happen to know we aren't perfect and never will be. If you think America will be great because we accept refugees than you can lead that charge and have them live and move near you and support them yourselves. You have the freedom to help them without increasing the risk to those "p-ssies" who don't want to take this risk. You are very naïve to think that ISIS and any other terrorist organization hasn't realized that using the refugee crisis can help them infiltrate our borders. Many Somali refugees in Minnesota have become ISIS sympathizers.
