I'm not afraid of terrorism, are you?

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.

It just might be, but since refugees aren't terrorists, and a terrorist can get here without being a refugee...and it's very difficult to figure out that a terrorist is a terrorist regardless......where is the grounds in any of this for refusing -refugees-?

I don't buy the "well they can get here anyways" thing.  The less paths the better.  But that's a quibble.

Maybe you're right.  Maybe it's not about them being refugees, and it's about them being difficult to vet people from places that have lots of terrorists.  The idea bringing in a batch of 10,000 from a refugee camp at one time is probably what makes them stand out as a risk.  

If you were vetting me, I have a home, photo idea, recent utility, pictures of me in that place, ssn, etc...  Again, intuitively, it doesn't seem like 3rd world refugee camp folks are going to be able to provide the same certainty.  If they can, then I'm fine with it I guess.

Although, even then, I'd prefer they just go to Europe, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, or any of the other nearby places because of the financial/cultural stuff.
