I was was talking about the refugee's coming to American and seeking asylum from their war torn country! How there are a handful of states saying they will not allow this and how that's simple stupid!

JONLY NONLY
What to you mean terrorists? You mean the refugees?
JONLY NONLY
That's a pretty bold statement calling them terrorists! They are seeking asylum from their war torn country where warlords are assholes and killing them!
PANELS 4 - 10
Images of a destroyed city
JONLY NONLY (CAPTION BOX)
Over 240,000 dead. 120,000 children dead. Over a million injured.
JONLY NONLY (CAPTION BOX)
12 million people have fled their homes. 4 million have become refugees in Europe.
JONLY NONLY (CAPTION BOX)
12 Million! That's more than hurricane Katrina at 1.7 million, The Haiti Earthquake at 3.5 million and the Tsunami in The Indian Ocean at 5 million combined!
JONLY NONLY (CAPTION BOX)
We should be opening up our boarders and hears to help those in desperation!
EARF (CAPTION BOX)
But if we let all those refugees in, wont the terrorists just pretend to be refugees then we will have MORE attacks on U.S. soil killing inocent lives?v
JONLY NONLY (CAPTION BOX)
Good question, but probably not.
JONLY NONLY (CAPTION BOX)
Why would the terrorists come in as refugees when they can just go to Canada then walk across the border? Or use one of the many other ways of getting into the USA they can already use?
JONLY NONLY (CAPTION BOX)
I get it though, being afraid of the unknown isn't anything new. We as a people in the USA had similar feelings about allowing refugees into our country during World Was II, most of them Jewish.

JONLY NONLY
We need to remember we are a country of refugees of Europe. We left to find freedom from with the Kings and Queens of Europe did.
JONLY NONLY
We took in Irish refugees with the potato famine, Jewish refugees during World War II. It's ok to be afraid, it's ok to be cautious. But let's be accepting and loving to our fellow human at the same time.
EARF
So you are willing to risk thousands of American lives for these refugees?
EARF
It's a known fact that terrorists have attacked us in the past? Why should we let them in?
CAPTION
Is he saying "war torn country" too much?
