What if I baked a pan of brownines and most of the ingredients were good but 1% of the ingredients was dog doo.  Would it be okay to eat the pan of brownies anyway?  I mean, it's only 1%.  Right?

Thankfully people do not blend together like a box of BCrocker brownie mix.

You totally missed the point.  My point wasn't about people blending.

No, I didn't miss your point.  But I did attempt to explain to you that your analogy doesn't work.

How does it not work?  One bad apple can spoil it for the rest unfortunately.

That's not a given.  Most of life contains at least one bad apple.  The black sheep in the family, the child molester on almost every block.

Bad apples are everywhere, so are wonderful people who outnumber them and do not rot.

It's naive to think that refusing refugees will keep terrorists out. The refugees are the least likely to include terrorists because of the delay and vetting. The most likely are our own citizens who have been raticalized, followed by those entering on a travel visa. Our Southern border is far from secure, doesn't it make more sense that a terrorist would choose that route rather than waiting months to gain entry without any guarantee that he would be admitted even then?

I think that we, as a country, need to explore several options, as the terrorists will stay one step ahead of us.  I doubt if Syrian refugees will be vetted properly, and the terrorists know it.

I do agree with you completely about our southern border.  I have no doubt that many terrorists have already come into our country from that location.

Tell that to Paris

According to the CATO Institute (11/18/15):

Of the 859,629 refugees admitted from 2001 onwards, only 3 have been convicted of planning terrorist attacks on targets outside of the United States, & none was successfully carried out.  That is 1 terrorism-planning conviction for every 286,543 refugees that have been admitted.  To put that in perspective, about 1 in every 22,541 Americans committed murders in 2014. 

They do go on but it's much too long to enter here.  See for yourselves at cato.org

There are homeless Americans living in tent cities here where I live....families with children....no help for them. Forget these refugees and let's take care of our own. These refugees tap the funds that could be helping our own struggling people.

@June222, ..  Thank you, I couldn't agree more. Just like I mentioned our homeless vets living on the streets, whether they have benefits or not, they aren't getting help.  We need to help our own first!!!

[occasionalrain]

Early on, it was thought one of the Paris terrorists was a refugee; however, since then that has been found to be untrue. France is still accepting refugees, so it seems France is now The Home of the Brave.

@Suziepeach   Yes....and all the vets that need medical help....let's put these refugee funds to work for our vets to get them the services they deserve.  Our priorities and funds need to be refocused on Americans.
