Syrian Refugee Crisis

We have been letting refugees settle in the US from the middle east for decades. For the most part they have assimilated well and are living a prosperous life. The problem this time around is you have a foreign enemy telling you they are sending fighters with those refugees. In Europe, there have been images found of the blood bath happening in syria and iraq on the refugees phones. In America, we keep having lone wolf attacks. Recently, there have been cases of explosives found near a dam in Missouri. Middle eastern men looking to tour the same dam on foot and by boat. There have also been bulk purchases of cell phones in cash and stolen propane cans.

@FREE_GUY .. till the condition is very adverse ., could should come forward to help refugees , but at the same time it could be infiltration as well . The reason is , one cant understand who is the refugee and which is not the face os a naive help-seeker .

I'm one of those who thinks we need to take care of our own first. We have refugees from wars here, too, only we call our war "crime." We have children who have to listen to gunfire outside their homes every day. There was a march here yesterday to remember the people killed this year (81, in a city our mayor recently laughingly called 'a safe city"). We also have refugees from wars here that we are responsible for but refuse to care for. We call those refugees "military veterans." And our government says they can't afford a cost of living increase for veterans -- which would amount to an average of $15 a month. If they can't afford that, how are they going to pay an average of $30,000 per refugee for housing, food, medical care, and all of the other things that the man or woman who went overseas to fight is being denied? We cannot take care of the people running from crime and the people injured by military service, so can anyone explain to me just HOW we're supposed to take care of 10,000 people who aren't even citizens of this country, many of whom -- by their own admission -- are coming to do harm?
