When we allow refugees into this country, we're not giving them enough support to bounce back from the war zone they were once living in. In 1980 we let in 207,000 refugees into our country, but those numbers have dropped ever since. In 2002 we only welcomed 27,110 refugees into our country.…

However, it is also reasonable that the United States does not want to put any of their citizens in danger, which may possibly accompany the refugees. Even if just one of the thousands of refugees is a terrorist or dangerous figure, that is unacceptable.…
