The refugee problem the United States currently faces is a crystal clear, black and white issue. Thankfully, we now have a president, Donald Trump, who realizes that. He is living up to his promises to the half of America that also recognizes the problem. By now, everyone should be aware of the executive order President Trump signed on Friday which indefinitely blocks Syrian refugees, and temporarily bans immigrants from several Muslim-majority nations, from entering the U.S. For all those bleeding hearts out there crying and bitching in the streets, here is a simple breakdown of the situation that may help you understand the necessity of what President Trump is doing.
Fact 1: We face an enemy motivated by a violent interpretation of Islam. Not Christianity, not Judaism, not Buddhism, but ISLAM.
Fact 2: We know a significant majority of Muslim Extremists originate from, and/or are trained within, a particular cultural background and geographic region. Within that region, Syria is a particularly volatile nation fraught with risks involving immigration; as can be seen by the multiple terrorist attacks in Europe.
Fact 3: Our enemy does not wear uniforms and they do not tattoo their foreheads with symbols identifying themselves as Muslim Extremists. They are subversives who hide among innocent people (including other Muslims) for the purpose of achieving their violent actions. They have explicitly told us they wish to destroy our nation and will infiltrate it by hiding among refugees.
Fact 4: Our current system for vetting refugees sucks. It will take a significant time to develop a better system. For those who don’t seem to understand this, let me clarify: currently it is very easy for Muslim Extremists who hate the U.S. to enter our country, avail themselves of our freedoms, and then stab as many Americans as they can in a mall or university, for example.
Fact 5: In order to buy time for improving the vetting process and simultaneously keep our nation secure, it is necessary to stop immigration from areas of risk (see Fact 2); as least on a temporary basis.
It’s very simple: There are a lot of refugees who want to come to this country and Muslim Extremists have explicitly said they will infiltrate our nation using these refugees. As our president, Donald Trump has an obligation to protect American citizens. As sad as it is that these refugees are stuck in a bad situation, they are not citizens, and they are just one case among many worldwide. It is not President Trump’s responsibility, nor the responsibility of every American, to improve the condition of all humanity; definitely not at the risk of jeopardizing our own safety.
All President Trump is attempting to do is slow down the flood of potential threats pouring into our nation. Since when is it so horrible to slow things down in order to re-evaluate a policy? A safer U.S. would be beneficial to all. Refugees seeking a safe home and a secure future would appreciate it if the nation they are coming to is not as chaotic as the one they just left. American’s should not underestimate the amount of damage that can be done by just a few Muslim Extremists once they are here. Things can get bad very quickly, and it benefits both citizens and would-be citizens alike to make sure those who are allowed into this nation would not do anything to intentionally harm it. Regardless of what President Trump does, refugees will not have access to the American dream if there is no dream to come home to.
These bleeding heart protesters need to calm the hell down. This is not some Hitlerian, genocidal executive order that says all Muslims who want to come to the U.S. are bound for certain doom. A Syrian refugee asking to come to the U.S. is not going to drop dead all of the sudden because someone tells them, “I’m sorry, you will have to wait, as we are currently re-evaluating our vetting system. We would like to ensure the man in line ahead of you does not kill you once you arrive in the U.S.”
There will come a time when our nation can be less strict in our immigration but we have to ensure we have a nation first. This will not be the first time in history that refugees did not get instant gratification. Hopefully, for their benefit and ours, it will not be the last.

Yes, I agree with you 100%! I appreciate President Trump’s efforts to keep us safe. Earlier today, I saw (D) Senator Chuck Schumer parade several immigrants out in front of the Media. He said “look at these people, do they look like terrorists?” I guess the Senator can identify a terrorist by just looking at one?
