She came in on a visa for which she was "screened". She's a permanent resident because she married a US citizen she met online (who's profile said he likes to shoot guns). Who is going to screen the refugees? You fail to see any connection to our President telling us not be afraid of women (women also in France group) and orphans because he'll screen them? Seriously, nothing there for you? I get you're an Obama apologist/liberal but c'mon. Who's defending this guy and his ridiculous positions at this point. He's been wrong at each turn on this stuff.I understand his defenders will do everything to change the subject. However, it's laughable at this point. Wasn't a few weeks ago he told us ISIS was contained and within 24 hours another attack....after they had just brought down a jetliner and executed another attack the previous week.This guy was a US citizen, this woman (his wife) was a permanent resident that came in on a visa from one of our allies remember.. not a refugee. I fail to see the connection. If you are suggesting we should start holding our "ally" accountable for its exportation of terrorism to our shores (not the first time if you remember two buildings that fell), then yes I agree something needs to change. Linking this to the refugees is kind of intellectually dishonest though. We have 20M+ that come here from countries with visas waiver and countless others using visas that receive much less scrutiny than those refugees would (e.g., those aforementioned Saudis that brought down buildings)... but sure the refugees are the boogeyman.
If these two were self radicalized what is the answer? Is the suggestion that somehow more intervention in Syria would have stopped this? Are we welcoming more mass surveillance of citizens? The Trump registry? is that what we want? Singling out a group of citizens because of their religion? disregarding the civil liberties we have here?
