I am waiting to get sniped on this one, but I think we should take care of ourselves. We have enough hunger and homelessness to last a long while to fix.

How about we take care of our veterans first?

I see no compelling reason to accept any more additional Syrian refugees than the normal process can process. Relaxing the rules here invites both disaster and a flood of freeloaders. It is very telling that Interpol has seen business in fake Syrian IDs booming. Not everyone is who they say they are.

I have seen estimates of $250K per refugee over the three years we provide full service welfare for them. Now I see that the funding is running out for those that have illnesses due to responding to the needs of the First Responders. My local county can not afford to pay for medical benefits to our
First Responders, yet our taxes go to DC for them to give it away. Are we totally insane????

Taken more in is a quick fix - failed approach. You don't fix a broken wagon wheel by loading more in the wagon.
