'Nearly four centuries after the Mayflower set sail, the world is still full of pilgrims - men and women who want nothing more than the chance for a safer, better future for themselves and their families,' Obama said in his address.
'People should remember that no refugee can enter our borders until they undergo the highest security checks of anyone traveling to the United States,' Obama said in his address.
Obama has vowed to veto the House refugee bill. But the White House has said it is open to working with lawmakers on tighter security measures for visitors from 38 countries who do not need a visa for short visits to the United States.
In his address, Obama quoted from letters he had received from Americans welcoming Syrian refugees. Urges America to show generosity to migrants fleeing the war-torn country

He does have contempt for the American people, so that’s probably a big part of why he figures he can get away with such sloppy logic.
didn’t turn out so well for the natives. One might think a poor comparison but looking at who said it i’d have to think its exactly what he has in mind. A bad ending for us.
That what he intends for us.
Funny how some things never change.
Excellent point.
“Hello”, he lied.
We know of no specific or credible intelligence at Homeland.
That just about sums up the whole war under these anti-American scum.
Can I have 10,000 marbles please?
