To take or not to take Syrian refugees

RE: To take or not to take Syrian refugees
(November 17, 2015 at 1:29 pm)Jörmungandr Wrote: Ostensibly the purpose of limiting immigration from Syria is to avoid the importation of terrorists.  While a laudable goal, limiting immigration is not an effective method of stopping terrorism in your country.  It is too easy to get in, and there are way too many soft targets for this strategy to be effective.  Therefore I say yes, as a no vote rests on an unsound strategy.

What about housing? What about jobs and the economy? What about different languages? What about background checks? What about sharia law being brought over with them? What about culture clash? There's millions of people coming into Europe setting up camp, yet all the proponents have to say is "hooray for helping people!" It seems almost tacitly absurd.
