The way I look at it is this. Every refugee that comes in should be housed in a centre until background checks and psychological tests can be completed. Obviously they won't be able to do everyone but as many as possible should be checked whilst they are housed in the centre. Then when completed they are free to continue on to wherever its agreed they would live or work or whatever. I think its a small inconvenience for those that wish to start a new life. I also think some, but obviously not all, refugees coming in falsely will think twice about coming. We live in an age where terrorists are posing as refugees and moving around the globe without restriction. If housing them and checking them prevents even 1 innocent from dying at a terrorists hands I believe its worth it.

On another note I see the health police are now saying to change how we cook rice because arsenic levels are too high. Apparently those of us who use a 2:1 water to rice ratio have been doing it wrong and putting out health at risk. We are now told to soak the rice overnight and use a 5:1 water to rice ratio. To be honest I think my health is more at risk from the pollution and crap I breathe in on the way to buy the rice than by cooking the fucking stuff.

If only it prevented people from dying. The chief protagonist of the 911 attacks, Mohammed Atta, was legally still an Egyptian on a German study visa when he carried out the attacks. He managed to secure a business visa to the US. Three of four 7/7 attackers were born in the UK. The only foreigner was born in Jamaica. Tim McVeigh was a Gulf War veteran who killed 168 in the Oklahoma bombing. Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes.

The vast majority of terror attacks in the west are perpetrated by Muslims.

True not every terrorist is a foreigner or a refugee. However there seem to be a number of refugees committing crimes, some very serious ones, after being granted permission to stay where they are. So I still believe peoples lives can be saved by checking them before allowing them into a country.

I think we should stop them altogether. A single rape or murder is enough to justify a moratorium, as is the existence of Sharia courts.

Yeah, GWB is quite an asshole.

His little "Islam is Peace" speech while the WTC ruins were still smoking was priceless.
Obama ran with that BS too.
Imagine if the Prez said "Hirohito Shintoism is Peace" while Pearl Harbor was still smoking in 1941.

Humans have a long history of coercing people to perform labor on the behalf of the community as a whole. It is part of our nature as social animals.

Great! I guess I'll just go out and get myself some slaves, as it's just part of our "nature as social animals."
