The most serious charge carries up to 25 years in prison.

Al-Hardan was granted legal permanent residency status in the United States in August 2011, though he is not yet a U.S. citizen.

In a second related case last week in Sacramento, the U.S. Department of Justice said Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab, 23, who came to the United States in 2012 as a refugee from Syria, was arrested on a federal charge of making a false statement involving international terrorism.

More than 75 U.S. residents allegedly radicalized by Muslim militants have been arrested since 2014.
Odd. From reading this thread I would have expected that number to be closer to zero.

It's probably our fault for not being more comforting to these people.

 
Being for properly vetted refuges = being for rape now?

Is that the logic of several posters in here who are having their own little party it seems like?

No wonder only tim will try to have a discussion with you and newbie just keeps chumming the water.
We don't believe you all are for rape, but even after the current allegations you all are still willing to take the chance and roll the dice.
Usually the ones who are willing to ignore the first amendment which guarantees religious freedom in this country are the ones screaming loudest when someone wants to change gun laws and challenge the second amendment, so even after all the school shooting and movie theater shootings, you're still willing to roll the dice with guns, huh?See how that works?
It doesn't work very well..I'm all for common sense guns laws. In fact I'm for common sense. Common sense tells us that when you invite 1.1 million refugees into a country, that you are going to have a whole bunch of problems that you didn't have before.
We are all refugees. Unless you're a native American. That's what this country was founded on. And there's an amendment guaranteeing religious freedom, just as there's one guaranteeing the right to bear arms. The country does it's best to screen potential gun owners with background checks. It also does it's best to screen immigrants. Once in a while, they fail. Doesn't mean the country should stop allowing guns. Or immigrants.
:confused:
Your ancestry starts here in North America? You don't have a great grandparent that came here from another country?
We are all Africans.

Mouth breathers who were so positive toward this have really avoided this one lately.

Something to be said for the folks who hold strong, even when all common sense points overwhelmingly against them.

Common sense tells me that we don't discriminate against a vast majority in order to protect ourselves from a tiny minority who may not even exist. But I will offer a compromise: for the moment, lets only allow in women, children, and men over 40. Single men under 40 can wait until we've scrutinized them more. How's that?

 
I'm for letting in all the displaced Europeans in 10 or so years when Europe becomes an Islamic state because of what they are doing today in the name of liberal policies.

Today I'm cool with letting in more Eastern Europeans and Asians.

So you got nothin. Somethings never change.

 
They aren't even cheap labor at this point. They are just there. There is little to no integration going on.

What a mess.
Where are you getting this idea?
Ask any European.
OK, I'll get right on it. But where is he getting it?
Any guess where your 600,000 migrants are?

Muslim man planned to murder at least 30 in the name of islam in Milwaukee.
So systems worked and they caught him?

Good for the FBI.

Was he a Syrian refugee?

Or is this now the thread where you complain about any Muslims?
I am good about complaining about any muslims. Only a small minority want to hurt us, about the population of the entire U.S is all.....

It might be helpful to differentiate between the word "resident" and the word "refugee."

He was brown wasn't he? Isn't that all that matters?

Why? He was a refuge. So I fail to understand your point. his current status doesn't change what he was.

I'm referring to the bold. The "number" that's being discussed.

Speak for yourself. I'm from another galaxy.

 
Europe is returning a couple hundred thousand as we speak, since we seem to want to be Europe so bad, maybe we could learn from them this one time.

In Germany, the mayor of the town with the rapes asked German women to cover up and not walk so close to them...seriously? Change your lifestyle?

Bill Maher had a good one the other night basically saying stop treating the rest of the world how you think it should be or is and deal with the reality of how things truly are.

Still very much against them coming here. First of all they are not going to be adding much to American Cuisine and I think if your food sucks then you shouldn't be allowed in. Italians made us pizza, Mexicans gave us tacos, Syrians will simply give us a headache, keep 'em the bleep out of here. If you like them so much then go join that fruit loop who is going to sing songs in ISIS controlled portions of the Middle East, good luck with that.

Bernie Sanders Nation is very open about their desire for a partial Socialistic European society, nothing earth shattering there. They happily wear that badge so I don't shy away from talking about it.
Not quite...partial and actually being Europe are two different things. Id say you realize that...but Im not sure.

So no, there are not people just wanting to be Europe.

There are people trying to figure out if some stuff that works elsewhere, can also work here.

Seems like a better strategy than insult everyone...then hope to make deals with them later.

 
At some point we're going to have to fix the infrastructure of these third world nations. We can't have masses of the world population flooding a select few countries. That's much too volatile socially, imo.

As far as should we take any? I'd say yes, a limited number of people who are educated and whatnot. Lower risk and who's to say it's less humane than a random sampling? Ultimately, we need order and peace in this world and I don't think we're too far from that. Biggest person to put down is North Korea but that's China's job.
