See, ii wondered this morning...just how many of these islamic extremist mass shootings have we had? How many in total? If we sealed our borders, how many of these shootings could have been prevented? In order of.priority, taking on the worst cause first, what should be our first target to change?

Now, barring muslim immigrstion might be the easiest solution....but we would still not have solved the problem, considering the above.

First of all, Muslims make up only 1% of the population in the US. So if they account for even just 20% of politically motivated terrorist attacks in this country, that means they are 20x more likely than anyone else to commit a terrorist attack. In addition, how many of their planned attacks have been thwarted by law enforcement? There have been dozens of attacks thwarted by law enforcement. Law enforcement has done a very good job overall in terms of monitoring suspicious people and stopping attacks before they happen. But they can't stop every attack. In addition, the financial cost and the cost in manpower is extreme. We are spending hundreds of millions of dollars monitoring these people. It's not easy to keep thousands of people under some type of surveillance. And the more of these people that are brought over here, the tougher it will be.

Right now law enforcement probably thwarts 95% of these attacks. So if there are 50 plots out there in the works every year, maybe 2 out of 50 will succeed. This past year there were two attacks that succeeded, San Bernadino and now Orlando. In many of these cases, the terrorists are people that are familiar to law enforcement. This guy was familiar to law enforcement. They had been tipped off about this guy's radical beliefs in the past. And the same goes for the Boston Marathon bombers. They had been interviewed by law enforcement in the past.

The FBI has to let these people go if there is no imminent threat. And they can't keep these people under 24 hour surveillance. Obama wants to bring in another 100,000 Syrian refugees. It's going to be impossible for law enforcement to monitor all of these people.The more of these people you bring you over here, the more plots there will be. I'm not claiming that most of these people will be terrorists. There will probably only be a very small percentage that will be terrorists or potential terrorists, maybe 1 or 2% at the most. But 1% of 100,000 is 1,000. That's a lot of potential terrorists.

I'd rather bring immigrants here from countries where we don't have to worry about these things. There is no other race or religion where we have to worry about these things. If a student comes over from Korea, is there a risk that he might be a terrorist? No. The same goes for practically every other non-Muslim country.

I think Obama honestly believes that if he brings tens of thousands of Muslims here that the Muslim population around the world will see this and then they won't dislike America any more. Obama honestly thinks it will make us safer in the long run. He lives in a fantasy world. If you have some young angry Muslim in the Middle East who wants to join ISIS, that guy is not going to chnage his mind as a result of seeing the US bring in 100,000 Syrian refugees. Obama thinks these people are rational and that their hatred for America is rational. He thinks that if we behave a little differently that they won't hate us any more. It is pure fantasy.
