Lets say that if you are on the terrorist watch list in the United States of America. you cannot legally purchase guns or explosives. That is not a radical idea. that is something we need to do to change the law. Instead of focusing on 70.000 refugees who go through 2 years of background checks before they come here. lets focus on the 20 million who visit the United States without visas each year from Europe and 38 countries around the world and make sure they have been carefully checked before they come to the United States. There are things we can do to keep America safe. but denying access to refugees who are suffering now with their children in the hopes of finding a safe place is not American. It is not who we are. It is not who we should be.
