[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that [b]we know that two of the people involved in the Paris attack are citizens of France and one is a citizen from Belgium[/b].  They have a Syrian passport for one of the people, but they have confirmed that it was stolen or a fake; thought they do know that this man entered Europe via Turkey and claimed to be a refugee.

So why are we trying to keep Syrians out when [b]the wrong doers are citizens of France and Belgium. Even the "shoe bomber" was traveling on a British passport.[/b]  If you are concerned about terrorists coming to America, isn't this legislation too narrow?

You have correctly identified my objection to importation of refugees.  It's not that I think the refugees are terrorists, almost none of them are.  It's the children of Muslim immigrants who are radicalized.  I have zero desire to replicate the failure of Europe in absorbing large numbers of Muslims.  And yes, I am aware how politically incorrect that sounds, and that it is only a small percentage of horrific apples ruining things for the vast majority of peaceful Muslims.

Another PP here.  Would you also acknowledge that your objection would prove the point that OP was making about the legislation being too narrow if it is to adress YOUR objection?  Here is my point - there are radical Muslims ALREADY in the United States - that were born here.  There are heavy Muslim populations that have been here for decades already - places like Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, etc.  Call me an eternal optimist, but I am not sure that a refugee family or child whose entire life was uprooted and family members killed because of ISIS/Radical Islam is going to flock to them 10 years from now.
