I'm not afraid of terrorism, are you?

Technically speaking, it's the hitchhiker that assumes the risk, lol.  Girls are picked up thumbing (which is illegal) and they just go :poof:  

As to the scenario, again notice that we are immediately assuming that one of them is a terrorist, so we're not talking refugees...and ofc that one terrorist can get here, already, if he can pass a refugee screen.  You aren't creating or adding any risk by accepting the refugees.   The effect, -if- there were one would be coincidental, not causal.

I'd say whoever knows they aren't a murderer is assuming the risk in hitchhiker/hitchhikee situation.  Captain Awesome is presumably not a murderer in this scenario, so he's assuming the risk, as would I.  But you're right, that hitchhikers (who are not murderers) are also assuming risk.  That's why I don't hitchhike either.

Probably true on the screening front.  Intuitively, the screening process makes me nervous. What comes to mind is when some 18yo kid from Africa gets drafted in the NBA, and it turns out he might actually be 23.   But I think this goes to the poorly presented point Trump was making early on.  That its real hard, and maybe impossible sometimes, to vet people from 3rd world countries.
