"Robust vetting" of refugees is a blind alley. It is clearly impossible. Syria does not have the same infrastructure that we have for maintaining historical databases of the bad guys in their communities. Pedophiles, murderers, thieves, rapists, and others come right along with the good people.
Beyond that, the larger problem is that the process of assimilation in other parts of the world, the UK and France being the two most obvious examples, consists of piling up of immigrants into large communities which occurs naturally, and then the establishment of Mosques which seem to inevitably fall under the influence and control of radicals. THEN we have Muslim clerics radicalizing young Muslims by the hundreds right here in the United States! Instead of religious institutions they become terrorist training houses. It will be them against us in all things while they demand medical access, education, which any person certainly deserves, demands of government in favor of their traditions and laws which plainly are inappropriate and in many issues unconstitutional. You see the demonstrations and rioting that are happening in Europe? The same things will happen here. This is no conservative scare tactic. It is happening over there and we are bringing the same fertile ground here. Once it is here we cannot stop it. NEVER will be be able to round them up and send them back to their homeland. NEVER.
The Syrian revolution and ISIS Radical Islamic issue has created it's own secret weapon...refugees. These people are a weapon. Inevitably, they will be infiltrated by Radical Muslim Clerics. Then the smoke you smell every night will be from burning stores and buildings in various places that happen to be the locations of their demonstrations. How do you think America will look then?
This is no BS editorial. This is the unvarnished, undeniable truth. You had better think about this seriously. Our American future depends on what we do about the incoming refugees.
This is a direct result of government failure. This is the shining example of why we must have strong, thinking, responsible leadership in Washington. It is also the best example yet of why we cannot afford to take a pass on who wins the Presidency. Those single issue voters who turn a blind eye to reality because they have not developed the intelligence to do otherwise will hurt this country and there will be no turning back.
There is no "swell" feeling about this for me. We are all going to find out about radicalism now. The liberals will be dodging bullets as they blame conservatives for their quagmire, That's why I call liberals "stupid", but, sadly, it's not enough.
We have been lucky in this country. Until now we have not had an enemy establish operating centers withing the United States. As we see it happening, certain things become more important, especially maintaining our ability to defend ourselves. On the political front we can write letters to our Congress and say that we will support the refugees over there but DO NOT bring them here! Write the letters while it may still make a difference!
