6 Reasons to Welcome Syrian Refugees After Paris

[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.

World peace!

A Yuge part of our problem is that the idiot-savant (whose only clear talent is the ability to DESTROY the once greatest nation in the world) now infesting the Spite House is one of the terrorists.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

[Fantasywriter]

Not even then. The Muslims would continue their long, bloody history of slaughtering each other.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

The world is so deceived that it’s useless to even engage these clowns.

“Not even then. The Muslims would continue their long, bloody history of slaughtering each other.”

Nope, all the wars in the middle East are base on economic inequality, the American extremist far right, the NRA and Bush.

Akin to suicide by cop... I call it suicide by PC.

I really do believe these people would knowingly put their lives and the lives of their loved ones in jeopardy in order to remain politically correct.
I really do believe that they would choose death over being non-PC.

1. Because it’s not about Syrians, it’s about Muslims - wherever they come from stupid!

[envisio]

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

I think they compete with each other with who can come up with the most delusional idea... the most idiotic new catchphrase... the newest ___ism disguised as ‘upwardly mobile thinking’.
I believe they pat each other one the back for the craziest most insane ideas that we, the stupid people, cannot understand.
It is a mental disorder, I tell ya...

The real number one reason for HuffandPuff Post:

There are too many damn Christians in America!

Number two reason for HuffandPuff Post:

God damn America!

All other reasons for the HuffandPuff refer back to one and two.

Six answers to six reasons to let murdering terrorists into my country.

The Boston bombers were refugees.

‘nuff said.

[Reeses]

The Muslims would continue their long, bloody history of slaughtering each other.

The pollution footprint of a Muslim family relocated to a Republican suburb is at least 20 times their home footprint. The footprint of a dead Muslim is quite low.

Yet at least one Somali refuse-gee went from Minneapolis (where he was employed at the airport — feel safer now?) to fight with ISIS. And I don’t recall the word “terrorist” being limited to those who only butcher Americans.

[Fledermaus]

Fine. Force David Bier, the retarded lying author, to house them.

President Carter is the jerk that keeps on giving. When are we finally going to free of this jerk. Of course the next 8 years, Reagan had ample opportunity to repeal all those stupid laws but didn’t for whatever reason and we today still are paying for it.

[napscoordinator]

Were getting slaughtered out there in the liberal media. I mean it is ugly. They literally hate us more then the terrorists if you can believe it. I just can’t believe it.
