Donovan, this is a good statement. Terrorism is defined as what you stated and in most cases, terrorist attacks on US soil are from right-wing extremists and other radical groups of whites, although in the media they aren't coined as terrorists (though they should be) because of their race.

This is a good rebuttal. Nice point bringing up that not all Syrians are a part of ISIS and that they are trying to escape persecution from their homeland.

If the United States is planning on letting in 10,00 refugee's and you're saying 1,300 of them would be ISIS followers, wouldn't that mean 8,700 refugee's could potentially help the economy? Also, wouldn't we perform background checks on them?

The United States should let in 10,000 Syrian refugee's. Most of the refugee's are women and children. To back this up, the United Nations’ figures show women, outnumber men, and children 11 years old and younger, male and female, account for 38.5 percent of all refugees. Women and children are less likely to harm the American public. The refugee's could also benefit our economy. Among Syrian immigrants, 39 percent have college degrees, a higher percentage than native-born populations, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
