Yes, Tico.  It is taking place in areas where it can be done.  But there is no way to vet many of those asking for asylum from Syria.  There is literally no way to determine if a great many are who and what they say they say they are.  Those who can not be proven to be who and what they say they are should not be allowed into the country, no matter how long we have unsuccessfully tried to vet them.

Actually, my friend has worked extensively with the Syrian refugee population. When our elected officials suggest it is no system to vet these people, they are either ignorant or selling you an easy line for their own political gain. The truth is the system works so "well" that many have no prayer of passing, and those that do literally take YEARS.

You are literally more likely to be killed by the clothes you are wearing than an immigrant terrorist. That's the actual data to this point, as opposed to the inflaming and dishonest narrative that pols use to rally their base.

Well when your wife or kids get beheaded or blown up dont come crying to me.

Truth is I've heard more Trump supporters say this is why they're behind him than for any other reason.

Don't let the actual facts and a vulnerable view of humanity get in the way of bigotry, Dusty.

I see good and bad in both of them.

There's a reason I didn't vote.

I just think this is one in the "good" column for Trump.

Dusty, I'm no fan of Hillary, either. The way the media simply ignored her collusion with the DNC and major news outlets to secure the Democratic nomination and influence the presidential debates was beyond shameful. The fact that she knowingly lied about Benghazi, telling the families of killed Americans that it was all due to an internet video is reprehensible. I have little doubt there are serious issues with her charity and donors gaining influence in her State Department. Both nominees were criminal and embarrassing.

I agree Tico.

I have a Filipino wife and half Filipino son and you saw my post in regards to the Mexicans so I can honestly say from the bottom of my heart that I'm not a racist.

I just don't quite believe its a great idea to be bringing the Syrians over here RIGHT NOW.

In the future if the process seems to be better then most definitely but not right now.

I would be interested in hearing how they do it for refugees in Syria.  If they indeed do not allow anyone in to the country until their past has been vetted, I have no problem with it.

We live in a time where race is a serious issue.

Much more than any other time in my life and it was heavily discussed recently with the presidential debates and such and my wife said multiple times "Dusty you're not racist but you are horribly sexist".

Seeing that I hand her my paycheck every week and never tell her what she can and can't do or buy I'm not sure "horribly" quite fits but with my good ol' Southern Baptist background I'm sure she's right to an extent.

Guess that's why I'm not heartbroke that Trump won even if I may think he's unfit.

Just to show you all the mindset of my wife I didn't vote but she did.

She's not one bit upset by who won.

Trump on 60 minutes seemed to have lost some of the swagger and seemed more reasonable. I hope that is the Trump that shows up to the White House.
