There's nothing wrong with bringing in as many refugees as you can handle, the issue has always been the vetting process. Are we bringing in families/people that simply want to leave because of the state their country is in, or are we bringing in basically anybody from those countries without really questioning who it is?

The latter seems to be the truth from what I gather.

Whilst I would never be against humanitarian efforts to help those in need, you do have to draw a line. If you are bringing in so many people that your own economy cannot sustain it, there's a problem. Regardless of the race or religion that these people are, you simply cannot just open the floodgates and hope all will be well.

I don't want to get deep into the subject of Islamist extremism because it seems to be quite a touchy area around here, but I will say that you cannot ignore the very real problem that the religion seems to bring wherever it lands.
