the government has already admitted as a fact they cannot vetted these people properly as they do not have all the information available.
they have already arrested 70 people including refugee's that were plotting inside the US for ISIS.

so evidently the vetting process is not working.

The problem is, is that sniveling muslim appeasing twit in the WH will 'vet' the refugees like TSA at the airport. I.e. a 95 year old caucasian granny gets a fully body cavity search while 25Yr old Auknoud, gets a free walk-through without even a pat down, ONLY because the government has to be PC, sensitive, inclusive and won't be accused of Racial Profiling. Safety be damned, is all about government perception.

What makes that even more disgusting is that the Constitution does not require it. Nothing in the Constitution absolutely prohibits government from discriminating against persons solely on the basis of their race.

A law or other government action can do that, if the government can show the action was necessary to achieve a compelling government purpose. It certainly is not easy to do, because the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment is a strong barrier to federal laws that enforce racial or ethnic bias. And yet in Korematsu, the Supreme Court upheld President Roosevelt's order that relocated persons away from the West Coast solely because of their Japanese ancestry.

There is no more compelling purpose of the federal government than keeping the United States secure against foreign enemies. If singling out persons for unequal treatment because of their ethnicity, national origin, etc. is necessary in certain situations for our national security, our government CAN do that. And damned well should.

The OP has "may" and doesn't show any actual attacks carried out by these people.

So what? U.S. authorities already allowed an Iraqi national who is a Muslim jihadist to enter and live here, even though it had compelling evidence of his violent acts. And yet you would have us believe we can be confident the thousands of Muslims from a jihadist-ridden nation right next door to Iraq do not include anyone like him. You have not explained what basis there is for that confidence.

The US does indeed authorize refugees to live in the US.
we can end up enabling terrorists to come to our shores.

And.....the semantic game continues, the hyperbole continues, you just equated authorize with enable, proving my point...once again.

There have been 82 killed or captured would-be jihadi ISIL adherents in the United States so far. Most folks aren't even paying attention.

No because that would have to mean they stop ignoring reality and face the facts.

5 days ago - The terrorist threat from Syrian refugees in the United States is hyperbolically over-exaggerated and we have very little to fear from them ...

Yep, put that up in another thread the other day. And you can't find a much more right leaning organization. Demonstrating the ongoing fearmongering of the GOP.

Them either. Not sure why the GOP would be excused for hugely exaggerating this just because they don't trust Obama.

I'm not excusing. As you know, I'm pretty laissez faire on immigration. It's not the GOP's trust issues that are important. The GOP's attacks resonate because of the public's distrust of BHO.

Well yes, your comment struck me as dismissive or excusing. I understand that there is some public distrust of the Obama administration, though I believe his approval rating exceeds Bush's in the same time frame. Anyway, I can't think of an amount of public distrust of the Obama administration that would justify the GOP making **** up and sowing distrust of themselves in the process.

The GOP is only able to "sow" distrust because there was already no trust. The problem is in ourselves, not our parties.

Come on man. "No" trust. 40 odd percent of Americans approve of the president. To the extent that anybody "trusts" a president ever, he is trusted. The racist, bigoted, phobic elements of the GOP, yeah, they probably don't trust him.

The anti-immigrant rhetoric resonates well beyond the GOP. It's that other 60%.
