Like I said before people worry about the wrong stuff.

Coming in the U.S.as a refuge is one of the hardest ways to get in the country.

The terrorists have money and have hundreds of easier ways to try and

sneak in to the U.S. end of story
 

And what some call paranoia it is just darn good judgement that says we hold back till the screening has been done well. Even some of our Democrats are joining in for a slow down on the rate of admission.

We do have a leaky border on the Mexican line. Not just illegal immigrants from Mexico, Central, and South America, we have folks from the middle east and Europe also getting caught after sneaking in, others are getting stopped at admission points, many are criminals and drug runners. We now have thousands in holding places till they get screened. It makes sense that we are not keeping up with what we have so good judgement says we should slow down the integration of thousands more.
 

More criminals are getting into the US than terrorists. Either one is a problem that needs to be dealt with. Border and homeland security should be to guard against a threat no matter the motivation.
 
Bob, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to agree with you that the South-Western border has serious security issues. That being said, the major terror players in the past has shown up with proper passports, visas and impeccable documents. Now, my wife gets busted by TSA / DHS at the airport on 2 occasions- 1st time with maple fudge wrapped in aluminum foil in luggage(looks like C-4 explosives), and a second time with an expired drivers license...which we all know is a sure fire sign of a Mideastern terrorist. <!> She'lll be in their "watch list" database for the rest of our lives.

Has anyone thought about the terror brought on by European settlers to the Native Americans?? The horrors of the Trail of Tears? Land taken and game poached? Nah....

All this is from some history stories. The people were settling in friendly situations. The natives were apparently accepting new folks. The movements began when the European countries came over to declare their ownership and to rip off the jewels and other wealth's. They left their armies to make sure they got what they wanted. I believe that it was the US getting started that started the end to lots of the pushing around going on. Over many years of getting away from those early days we now have a pretty good way of handling the immigrants. It should continue to be our first way of handling immigrants.
 
Eek. Tn, does that mean that if I respond to your posts, one of the incredibly secret service (most of us can't name them) organisations in Canada will start monitoring my every movement? Or perhaps I should just alter the frequency in my tin foil hat?

Good points about the terrorists in the past Thomas. Can't believe your wife went through all that, I'd be so angry.
 
The point is that the terrorists are already here. The brothers in the Boston attack, especially the younger one. Just a well liked, typical college student. Nothing to suggest how many people he would eventually kill and maim. We don't know the next terrorist...they could even be native born American next time. We don't need to fear the Syrian refugees, they've been through enough IMHO

There are plenty of homegrown terrorists in many countries, including the US:

Just too difficult to get in as a Syrian refugee, so people need to stop being paranoid.

3 of the 4 bombers of the London Underground in 2005 were born in Britain.

Good judgement is not fear. Slowing down the flow is good judgement. We are already swamped with proposing to be immigrants folks. It is good that we always take in real immigrants and are just saying slow down a bit and we will be happier. Screening for known questionable persons is part of our immigration law. It needs to be used effectively. Not ignored for any one or many immigrant groups. The war has been declared on us by some rather nasty folks so we must take steps to avoid what they wish on others. Fear, yes, but recognized and organized with a purpose. All we accept should be assured the ones they ran from are being denied. That we have some in the US is known. Not much we can do about them if they have done nothing wrong yet.

Sensible precautions are one thing, hysterical profiling is another. This is becoming a witch hunt. Sad when the victims of ISIL are treated as perpetrators.

Definitely your opinion. Our Congress seems to have a different opinion. And that is more important to the people in the US.
 
Hmm. Certainly many Americans, some of them on this board, share my views, regardless of how unimportant you may feel them to be. Some have even indicated a wish to hear the fresh perspective of people who live in other parts of the world than America.
 
That is fine. Hear all they want. But our government is run by those that live here.

If Canada is losing population then Canada might look down here as we have lots of Canadians living down here. Many are just snow birds but here they come each year. Many do stay here. I suppose by law they have applied for permanent residence in the US.
 
Hmmm. If Canada requires more people, we will do as we always have done. Increase immigration. As for Canada wishing to interfere in the running of the American government, perish the thought. We have a different political system which works for us. We are friends, and allies of America, but our societies are quite different.

Most of the French Terrorist were Belgian. I have not seen the U.S. banning Belgian people.

It's just irrationally fear. As for the government they are just pandering to the irrationally fear. Anything to stay in office.

Try to explain to irrational people they are being irrational GOOD LUCK
