Most terrorist attacks in the US are committed by Americans—not foreigners

Human lives or not, I have no interest in hosting refugees who are the cause of their own upheaval. They have been the cause of their own "war torn" countries since way before US was even a country.

They've been at war with themselves for over 1,400 years now. The differences between the Shia and Sunni Muslims are pretty minor, yet the kill count between the two is absolutely mind boggling. They read the same damn book, yet they can't just get along with each other well enough to stop killing each other.

There are two different kinds of people against accepting refugees. There's the ones who don't know of their 1,400 year history and just dislike Muslims for whatever reason, and then there's the people like myself who know a little about their history and don't want their war brought over here.

It has nothing to do with the victims of that war and everything to do with not wanting them to bring their war to our country. If they've been fighting constantly over the last 1,400 years, they aren't going to stop simply because they're standing on a different continent.
