Muslim Refugees

"Last year, FBI Director James Comey told a Congressional panel that the United States can run background checks "until the cows come home," but our government simply doesn't have access to all the databases necessary to fully vet incoming refugees.

"The United States should not be resettling what would be only a tiny fraction of the current flow of refugees and migrants from the other side of the world. Instead, we should join other nations in providing for the greatest comfort to the greatest number of people fleeing their destabilized countries. The Center for Immigration Studies has determined that we can help 12 refugees in safe zones in their home regions for every 1 refugee resettled in the United States." Source:  Chicago Sun Times

"Nearly 500,000 refugees have been resettled in the U.S. since 2009 -- roughly 70 percent of all the refugees resettled by the United Nations each year. There has been little to assure us that these programs are capable of screening out present and future criminals and terrorists who often exploit the chaos of emergency migrations. And the programs show little regard for the multiple long-term fiscal costs imposed on the local receiving communities that already are suffering from the same depressed wages and low labor force participation rates as the rest of the United States."
