Terror in Paris.

This is inaccurate. It has been a very low number for sure, but it is not zero.

Fair enough. There's been a couple.

But we're not at particular risk in America from domestic Muslim terrorists. Our terrorists are sad, disaffected white babies that shoot up schools and movie theaters. None of this is about protecting America, it's about xenophobia and racism.

If you want to protect Americans, make it harder for jerkoffs to get a gun. I don't mean that political, I mean it in a practical sense. If these politicians really want to protect people, like they say, actually attack a problem we are legitimately having in our culture.

Refugees now and refugees then are a very different thing.

They are in the process of investigating what went wrong in Paris -- how they could have missed the planning of such a large-scale, well-organized terror attack committed by guys already known to have terrorist ties.

Basically they have already uncovered a lot of intelligence failures and dumb oversights, but one perplexing thing was how some of these known terrorists managed to sneak back into Paris undetected via Belgium (where this plot was hatched). It is now believed that they did so on falsified passports, and they are taking a hard look at whether these guys managed to get in claiming to be "refugees" and using a false identity.

Given ISIS' resolve to attack us, we cannot give them such an easy path into the country. It is too difficult to tell the difference between legitimate refugees and terrorists with phony documentation purporting to be refugees.

One of the biggest reasons we haven't had another organized terror attack since 9/11 has been the difficulty of getting foreign terrorists into the country without being detected. This is why ISIS decided to mostly abandon the strategy of sneaking into the US and committing acts of terror, and has instead taken to the internet in order to radicalize existing US citizens. Still, that is also detectable, which is why so many terror plots since 9/11 have been thwarted.

If we simply let Syrians come here at this point who claim refugee status, ISIS could easily sneak in a large number of operatives, and we could have another Paris incident on our hands fairly soon (or perhaps even worse).

Basically when you have a strong and growing terror organization out of Syria threatening to attack the US, you don't let a shitload of Syrians into your country and assume everything will turn out fine.
