12 587 refugees were admitted to the US in 2016, as shown above. Can anyone guess how many terrorist attacks were committed by them? The answer’s simple: ZERO TERRORIST ATTACKS CARRIED OUT BY SYRIAN REFUGEES IN THE US (Source: http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/29/us/refugee-terrorism-trnd/)
Clearly the screening process is just a little bit effective.
So many refugees are just ordinary civilians, doctors, lawyers, teachers etc. who are fleeing a war-zone and spend years in refugee camps, for a chance at a better life for families. Is it really okay to send them drowning into the bottom of the ocean?
Now, could there be terrorists/criminals among them? Most certainly. Hence the screening process, so please, enough with the unnecessary hatred and xenophobia!
