[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][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.

i was about to write  the same thing, but not as articulately. we need to look at the long term consequences and not make rash decisions to grow a population thst will be very difficult to assimalate (sp).[/quote]

I can only assume that those of you who believe Syrians will be hard to assimilate have never met an actual Syrian. These folks will assimilate quite easily, at least as long as they don't encounter a solid wall of prejudice, fear, and hatred.

So any attack on America by a Syrian will be our fault?[/quote]

If you accept responsibility for every unjustified gun death in the US, I'll accept responsibility for attacks by Syrian refugees.

You specifically said that the Syrians will assimilate unless we are not racist. Are you saying that it will be our fault if a Syrian refugee turns on us, yes or no.[/quote]
