Dallas, Texas - Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton said that the United States should accept Syrian refugees because it is a fundamental part of our country's identity and "we have always welcomed immigrants and refugees."
"We can't act as though we're shutting the doors to people in need without undermining who we are as Americans," Clinton said at a campaign stop here Tuesday.
The former secretary of state stressed that vigilance is a key component in vetting incoming refugees, but strongly opposes "hateful rhetoric" used by Republicans who do not want to accept refugees following the terrorist attacks in Paris that left 129 dead and hundreds more injured.
So far, governors in more than rwo dozen states have said they oppose, refuse or wish to temporarily suspend the resettlement of Syrian refugees
Nearly 2,000 refugees from Syria have relocated to the United States since 2012, the New York Times reports and President Barack Obama has said that the U.S. will accept about 10,000 more.
Clinton also used the opportunity to assert her experience with foreign policy. She told the crowd of about 1,500 that the recent attacks in Paris and Beirut remind us "America is not just electing a president, we are also electing a Commander-in-Chief."
Earlier Tuesday, Speaker Paul Ryan called for a "pause" in the Syrian refugee program and legislation to address this may come as soon as this week.
Clinton underscored that admitting refugees was a long-standing tradition in our nation, saying "we have made people feel that if they did their part, they sent their kids to school, they worked hard, there would be a place for them in America."
How many is she willing to take in?
Like NY, D.C. and Martha's vineyard...wonder why???
we all need to contact HUMA and see if ‘Hillary is confuse again???’ That so called Fall that took six months to heal was more likely a stroke...ya think???

Keep up the talking, Hillary... only 31+ states disagree with you.
Doh!
Listen up, Hitler-y! Look at the real photos of the “poor”
refugees! They are hordes of largely military-age males,
with a slight peppering of an occasional woman or child
being dragged along by its poor little sore arm.
Use that bleached blonde floozy head of yours for something
besides a hatrack!
Nothing a slow, painful beheading wouldn’t cure, HildaBeast!
How I loathe her.
Good one! (They are hard to light as ‘soggy’ as Bent One Billy Boy likes to get them!)

Hey Billy! Just like I’ve posted for Obummer: “Tradition is not a suicide pact.”
Because anything you disagree with them about is wrong, because “that’s not who we are”
It’s a compelling argument.
Send them all to Chappaqua. Because that’s part of being an American.
Whether a generalization is true or not depends on the specific context.When the immigrants and refugees hate the values of America and want to destroy America, and are not going to change, it is irrational to welcome them.
Linerals,they love stupid, and they love to make stupid even stupider. Liberalism is a black hole on the level of Boshevick nihilism.
Keep up the oral bowel movements Hitlery, same for Zero in the white hut as muzzies Huma and Valerie prod on their agenda. Yes keep bearing down. This issue as many they are committing political suicide and will get outright revolt when the next terror attack comes in USA.
Yeah, I agree.
I’ll believe her when she sets up a tent city in her backyard, along with tent cities throughout Chappaqua, all with morning call-to-prayers, goat slaughters, prayers towards Mecca and clitorectomies.
That will make a devastating commercial for whoever will be our candidate.
Keep saying that there BITCH and when one of them kill here we’ll see how it helps your election
