personally I think USA should take most of the syrian refugees, afterall U.S is most responsible for the situation in syria.

As an American, I would LOVE it if we would stop trying to be the worlds police force, and let everyone else solve their own damn problems.
Having said that, there are very few of the worlds conflicts that do not involve Muslims.
While the USA can be finger pointed at in some, we aren't for all.
I guess Mali and Malayasia is our fault, too?
Mainstream Muslims need to be very vocal and very proactive in shutting down radical Islam, but they aren't even close.
Even the Sunni & Shite blow each other up. USAs fault for all? I think not.
Let the "civilized" Muslim countries care for their own and fix their own problems.

Letting in or not letting in Syrian refugees will do nothing to change the chances of a terrorist attack occurring here. The screening methods utilized in the U.S. are just too strong and if you were a terrorist and comitted on being malignant you would find an alternate route in. Homeland security isn't a force to be trifled within, especially in this climate. I the public is scared though and feels the need to do something but decisions based on fear take some of the objectivity away.

For the most part I agree, the US's situation is a bit different as anyone brought here from the legitimate refugee pool will no doubt be filtered through extensively. It's the Europeans that need to be worried because they're the ones who have throngs and hordes, some of which have fake documentation, literally breaking through their borders with who-knows-what among them.

The US has taken in over 3 million refugees since 1975. We are the most generous country in the world in that respect. Generous in stepping in and helping and protecting those who cannot protect themselves. But you can't protect others if you can't protect yourself. National security is the number one priority. Period.

You can sit here and say how these people are just poor refugees all day long but you don't know that at all. For once, listen to what the FBI and CIA directors have said. There is nothing to search the database for because there is nothing on these people. It sucks, but it is what it is.


But...but...but....ISIS can get in if they want to anyway. Right? I'd rather have someone kick a door in or break a window to my house than give them a key or the garage door code anyday.

I really don't get what is so difficult to understand. You look out for yourself first. In war, defense, and any public service job. Making decisions like this have massive risks.
