6 Reasons to Welcome Syrian Refugees After Paris
HUFFPO ^ | Nov. 16, 2015 | David Bier

Posted on 11/17/2015 7:40:04 AM PST by PROCON

After the attacks on Paris, many politicians--including (so far) the governors of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, and Texas--have called for stopping refugee flows to the United States from the Middle East, claiming that the refugee process poses a major threat to America's security. Here are six reasons why ending U.S. refugee resettlement is a senseless and reactionary approach:

1. The Paris attackers were not refugees: Assuming that the user of a fake Syrian passport found near the body of an attacker belonged to the attacker, which isn't clear, he exploited the flow of people into Europe, but he was not a refugee. He did not receive refugee designation from the United Nations or vetting from intelligence agencies. He was never approved for refugee status in any country. To become a refugee in the United States, you undergo a multi-stage vetting process and only after receiving U.N. designation by trained officers in the field. The U.S. can vet refugees prior to admission, which means we can weed out terrorists and those most likely to become involved in terrorism, accepting only the most vulnerable. Europe cannot do the same. What happened in Paris is not applicable to the U.S. refugee process.

2. U.S. refugees don't become terrorists: The history of the U.S. refugee program demonstrates that the lengthy and extensive vetting that all refugees must undergo is an effective deterrent for terrorists. Since 1980, the U.S. has invited in millions of refugees, including hundreds of thousands from the Middle East. Not one has committed an act of terrorism in the U.S. Traditional law enforcement and security screening processes have a proven record of handling the threat from refugees.

I just waded over through the cesspool of liberal thought which is HUFFPO, to present this article for your perusal, amusement and too reaffirm to you how liberals think.

Check out #2, U.S. refugees don't become terrorists....Not one has committed an act of terrorism in the U.S.

Can someone say The Boston Bombers? (and I'm sure you can name others)

Yes, liberalism is a death cult.

"Ah. So you acknowledge the only reason an act of terrorism in the U.S. hasn't been committed is because they were handled before they could carry the threat out, not that they aren't capable or interested in carrying out said acts? Very interesting. One more question; what, exactly, are you huffing over at Huffpo?"

There is no self delusion, rationalization, or untruth too outrageous for the left anymore.

Its amazing - over the past few years they have become completely unmoored from reality.

1. Because the police state needs more threat to your safety, so they can take more of your rights to “protect you”.
2. Because the Dems need to change the demographic so they can push policies the Americans would never stand for.
3. Because our administration has been taken over by the Muslim Brotherhood and these refugees are the next step toward the worldwide caliphate.

Nope only three reasons, not six.

***2. U.S. refugees don’t become terrorists:***

Say what! Here is a list of moslem terror attacks inside the USA! This is NOT a complete list as I’ve found several, like Ali Hassan Abu Kamal, who shot up the Empire State Building not on the list.

Actually there's only one reason.

Because the Democrats need the votes.

The Garland, Texas attack should be added to that list. Fortunately, it was not successful, but it was still an attack.

The FBI Director’s testimony to Congress last week that vetting is an impossibility should be the first and only response to these morons.
