One of them was certainly a terrorist whose fingerprints were on an IED that had been exploded in Iraq. and they didnt catch his fingerprints. even though they had them. If you cant catch a terrorist that you let into Kentucky. and you had his fingerprints and compared them. and it didnt show up initially. then how much worse will it be? How many more terrorists will you let into America from within the Syrian refugees? Then it has also been disclosed this week what many of us in America knew already. It was only common sense that people who have sworn they want to destroy our country. kill as many Americans and Jews and Israelis as possible. that they would use this refugee crisis not to get into Israelbecause they are very protective. thank Godbut to get into Western Europe and to get into the United States. Now we know those are the facts. Most Americans that I have talked toI think in my telephone townhall. there was about 90 percent of the people in east Texas. of the thousands on the call. they indicated about 90 percent were concerned that we couldnt properly vet the Syrian refugees good enough. and that we needed to pause and hold up and wait until we had more information. That is just common sense. Then we also. there was an article from Mark Krikorian November 16. He pointed out. and I will quote from his article: "The 5year cost to American taxpayers of resettling a single Middle Eastern refugee in the United States is conservatively estimated to be more than $64.000 compared with U.N. figures that indicate it costs about $5.300 to provide for that same refugee for 5 years" if he or she is in their native region. So for every person we arrogantly think. gee. we should bring that person into America. as Mark Krikorian points out. actually that is a bit immoral. because if we werent so arrogant to think we need to get them into America. we could save 12 of them in their native region. They say. 3 to 4 million people coming out of Syria. out of that area. gee. they need to come to the United States. and yet Saudi Arabia has accommodations for 3 million. So many people have seen a photograph of the massive tent area there for 5 days out of 365. That is during the Hajj. the pilgrimage to Mecca. kitchen facilities. bathroom facilities. It just seems like if they would help take care of the 3 million. make those available. we could work something out to take care of the people that come in for 5 days in the Hajj. that that would be a better solution than this administration forcing Syrian refugees that could not be properly vetted into this country. Then I was told last night that actually the female terrorist in San Bernardino was using a name that certainly would not have been given to her at birth. and that if we had people that were allowed to study radical Islam. the tenets of its belief. as this one person said. she had a name that is actually a guys name. and for anyone who has spent their adult life studying radical Islam. like this administration for 7 years. has not allowed the FBI. the intelligence agency. State Department.
