So we should cower to obviously unstable people who hate Western civilization? If we act as if radical Islam isn't a problem, we are letting the terrorists win and gain control.
They have been on earth thousands of years... What with the fear?
I see a bunch of people freaking out acting like this will have a negative impact on their lives. Unless you are a refugee who ONLY wants to go to the US, then why are you whining? Do you want more potential criminals pouring into the US? Syrian refugees have done more harm than good. What do you have to gain in life from letting in a bunch of undocumented foreigners?
If you want Muslim refugees so bad, then why don't you host them in your own home?
Oh I don't know, for the same reason it was wrong to turn away Anne Frank and her family as refugees so they could be killed by the Nazis. Not everyone thinks and acts completely in their own self-interest.
As to your assertion "Syrian refugees have done more harm than good", citation please.
The most ironic part is the fact that even Jewish groups are against Trump's ban on refugees.
That isn't ironic, it's totally logical.
The Holocaust occurred in part because U.S. nativists refused to accept Jewish refugees, calling them "anti-Western terrorists", due to the America First movement of the 1930's (sound familiar?).
It would be insane for Jewish Americans to support a policy that led to extermination of half their religion.
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
The foundation of the United States is at risk. You are an immigrant unless you are Native American. We used to be know as the "free world". Trump has ruined that it the first days of his presidency. We are now an embarrassment.
If you want to look at history we didn't just let anyone in. People came on boats, we processed them and sometimes sent people back where they came from. It wasn't open borders.
If you have to ask about why something bad happening is important or not important because it doesn't affect you, then you need to reevaluate your entire moral system.
You'd think, wouldn't you?
Bunch of morons.
And the biggest liars are the ones who say they live in EU (esp. Germany) and nothing has changed.
The damn Chancellor of Germany is backtracking on her "let everyone in" policy & NOT because it's been all roses and sunshine.

Germany has agreed new laws to tighten rules for incoming refugees.
Chancellor Angela Merkel reached an agreement with her coalition partners on Thursday evening to speed up deportations.
The new measures also include a two-year ban on family reunions for asylum seekers who are granted limited refugee protection, said Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel, announcing the deal.
The coalition partners have also agreed that people from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia will not have an automatic right to asylum as these countries have [not] been deemed “safe”.

It works great for ISIS recruiting, turning it into a very clear religious war instead of terrorists vs the US. As such, people I care about in the military are endangered.
Additionally it makes us less safe.
"Less safe"? Is that why we have had a record # of post 9/11 Islamic attacks under Obama?
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

What really is this suppose to mean? I was born here and I'm a citizen. So eventually they are going to come and deport me? To where? The moon?
The report from the BKA federal police showed that migrants from northern Africa, Georgia and Serbia were disproportionately represented among the suspects.
Absolute numbers of crimes committed by Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis - the three biggest groups of asylum seekers in Germany - were high but given the proportion of migrants that they account for, their involvement in crimes was "clearly disproportionately low", the report said.
The report stated that the vast majority of migrants did not commit any crimes.
