I hope we don't have any terrorists posing as refugees attack America, but if it happens, I hope in happens in San Francisco.
If we take in X number of terrorists and 1/10000 of X terrorists hold up a convenient mart and steal cigarettes, that'll still make them better neighbors than most natural-born citizens here, so really...
How does one "attack America" anyway?
Does being attacked by a refugee hurt worse than being attacked by the guy whose family has lived down the road from yours since before the Civil War?
Because a bullet from that kid you've known since preschool is gonna hurt just as badly as one from the guy who just moved here 6 months ago, is it not?
I think this is a solution looking for a problem.

That's why there are guarded refugee camps. That's why it's not so easy to move around as a refugee. That's why it's not so easy to obtain refugee status. That's why we have vetting. That's why we have immigrations and customs officials. That's why we have an intelligence community. That's why we depend on our allies to share information with us.
You're just creating a strawman when you say liberals don't know this.

Edit: Oops, you might not know. It was during the Clinton years that 9/11 was planned and financed as well as when the hijackers received their visas and came to the US to train for that mission.
Assad? Putin's partner in crime and mass murder? You are ****ing kidding right? If this prick said this was February, I would check the calendar.
And is that not why we have a vetting process? Guess what OP...fifteen of the nineteen 911 hijacker were from Saudi. Have the Saudi royals warned their business partner Trump of this stat? Or are they just keeping the convo light because they are his buddies?
See, there you go attacking the messenger (probably for political/ideological reasons based on the tone of your post), instead of paying attention to the message. I doubt few if any will start saying Assad is just a misunderstood soul, as they assume the report about it him sickeningly accurate. HOWEVER, no one is asking you to invite him for dinner or swap spit with him.
Even a dictatorial thug like Assad can be giving us accurate information.
Heck, just recall when good old Obama & Co were specifically warned not once, not twice, but three times about the Tsarnaev brothers. By whom you might ask? That is right, your new boogyman, Vlad Putin. Yet what did Obama & Co do?
Needless to say I do not have to rehash what happened in Boston, despite repeated warnings that could have saved lives.
So while I'd likely think Assad should some day be brought up on war crimes against his own people, that does not mean I am just going to ignore the real probability that he is telling us the truth in this regard. Frankly, those who will not want to believe it are either naive, or too partisan to want to accept that anything Trump might do or say has any merit.
I on the other hand realize that the federal government has no greater responsibility than to protect our citizens. This includes stopping terrorism as best as we can. So putting a temporary ban on people coming from countries to help prevent attacks is not only prudent, but a responsibility.
I'd also point out how I do not remembers the liberals freaking out when Obama instituted a temp ban. Hypocrisy is something liberals do not seem t get the concept of.
