    Could you imagine letting refugees in and then months later an attack kills 40 people. This has the potential to be the biggest mistake any sitting president has ever made.

    No one who's going to do something horrible is going to have any trouble getting here legally, whether we accept refugees or not. And what makes you think people can't be radicalized who already belong here? This looks like irrational fear to me.

    It's a no win situation really. If even one of them so much as jaywalks you'll never hear the end of it. It's terrible but there's really not a lot of options.

    Right now they go to Arab countries who can't handle them. Only a little part goes to Europe, essentially Germany that needs them

    I don't agree that's what the left would say. And, assuming we will eventually achieve comprehensive immigration reform, it could be included as part of a larger talking point... Ofc, the radical right didn't bite on this argument but it's worth pasting here for people who think the US doesn't have "jobs"

    well i think it's a very rational fear, but barring refugees is an irrational response. that might have been what you meant though.

    My point is sooner or later all those countries can't handle it anymore. What do you mean germany needs them?

    I think the Taliban and Al Queda are weaker today. I want a joint effort from all armies around the world though. We can't just dismiss something because it didnt work in the past. We have to keep trying and fighting until the enemy is defeated.

    Their economy goes well so they need workers+ there are not enough child's/woman so if they don't have immigration there will be no Germans anymore in the future
