Well the opening statement refers to how these people are fleeing from ISIS themselves. Very true, and our homeless vets are fleeing from starvation and cold. How many have to die before we take action?
How are you going to Vet them? Who are you going to call? The woman that was one of the murderers in San Bernardino lied about her address and other information. We are a state with limited water resources and you want to add more people to the already taxed supplies. We are going into winter and possibly an heavy rain situation and all of our homeless shelters are overloaded already. We already have too many homeless people and Veteran’s with nowhere to go. I think we should take care of our folks first, then see if we have anything left for other folks. You are proposing unrealistic situation with no fore thought.
Moron
Sorry but if you had a bowl of 10 cherries and I told you two were poison!! Would you still take the chance and eat them??? Chatnogga, San Bernardino, Boston,Texas, all supposed vetted, yet how many Americans have died!! To many. The answer is absolutely not, until we can protect our citizens, and our vets are taken care of, it’s just that simple. No
Hell yeah let em all in Cali… And when the SHTF do not offer any help!!!!
If they take Cali they are for sure taking you state shortly there after
Not NC baby!!! Never!!
Not all of us in Cali are liberal morons.
I didn’t know he was a bigot. Probably wants to get rid of all the Hispanics also.
Ignorant comment
When Americans die because you “feel” we owe the world a living and offending people is now a greater offense than murder… I will come and see you.

Those people need to go ahead and rise up against their corrupt government and take back their own lands.
At this point we have already tried to help with even that.
We do not have the resources to house, educate and provide health care for these refugees.
This goes beyond the obvious security concerns that everyone is concerned about.
I’m sorry but I have to agree with Steve Knight. Did you hear what Ben Carson said last night at the debate? He spoke to many Syrian refugee’s and they said YES there will be many terrorist that will infiltrate the refugees and be coming right in along with them. How can we ignore that? Not until they can be positive who they are and a complete background check. Even then I have my doubts.
It only takes one.
Who ever wants them, go ahead and open your doors to your own homes. They should stay and fight for their own country! I mean, the “good” ones should highly outnumber the bad.?
You can’t tell me 100% if that person coming in is a terrorist or not. So why are we risking the lives of our own citizens? Let a stranger watch your kids and then tell me it’s ok to let refugees in.
?‼️
We don’t even have resources to help our own…
Once Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE agree to take their fair share of refugees, we can start bringing refugees here. They have all kinds of money to build 200 story skyscrapers and indoor ski hills, surely they can afford to bring in a few refugees.
They should be relocated to Muslim countries
I’m sorry but I’m no longer going to support Steve Kight. What is up for re election voting against him he let me down! What is doing is jeopardizing our national security. Sorry Steve I don’t support RINO Republicans.
EXACTLY
Article states: “In California and nationwide, according to the Washington Blog and the Guardian (2015), on average, 928 citizens get killed by police every year due to police violence, which increases a citizen’s chance to be killed by a police officer 55 times more likely than a terrorist attack.”
At least 1,147 people have been killed by U.S. police since January 1, 2015.
At least 1,108 were killed in 2014.
At least 3,024 have been killed since May 1, 2013.
killedbypolice.net
More than several times as many have been shot and survived, initially.
Our citizens our problem. We are not the homeless shelter of the world. We have our own issues our own starving fleeing homeless… So regardless of your trying to rationalize this… Its a mute point… Take care of our own first!
What else is new they don’t care
If they won’t stay and fight to protect their way of life in Syria why would you want them anywhere in the U.S. There are homeless Americans eating out of trash cans that have served in our military that are in need of help that obviously are overlooked by this commentator and politicians alike…..
US citizens killed by police violence?
That is a really ignorant statement! I hope you never need police protection.
We should not jeopardize our national security this should not be a race issue this is a common sense issue. We should not allow Syrian refugees in here because you do not know who these people are. We have our homeless veterans and need to be take care of we have children in America that need to be fed we don’t need to take care of these people. Let non for profit organizations take care of the Syrian refugees taxpayers cannot afford them here.
Wow, a marginally intelligent thought from a raider fan, first time for everything I guess
Yes, you fear mongering citizens of Santa Clarita. I would take in a starving refugee. You forget we greedy nations caused a lot of this mess. Cheap oil ring a bell. We will clear the animal shelter of unwanted pets, but unwanted human beings? We are NOT good Christan’s. We suffer from many of the 7 deadly sins right here, loud and proud. Greed, gluttony, lust, sloth, envy, wrath and pride. And as for the homeless Vets., go ask John McCain and all the other Republicans why they voted against helping them. We helped put these people (refugees) in this situation, we should at least help them out of it. We are selling ISIS the bullets to shoot at them. Then again who takes responsibility for their action these days anyway?
Seriously, they can go to any of all the rest of the countries in the rest of the world that they’re fellow people haven’t mass murdered in yet and blatantly keep planning to keep doing it. It’s not women and children Syrian refugees that r wanting in to this horrid country they hate so much, it’s all the young fit men trying to get let in. Hmmm yea that sounds really smart.
Everyone needs to google the International Rescue Committee. These refugees are actually getting houses!
Where does the madness end???
The article states that “many Syrian” refugees do not want anything to do with terrorism. I’m sure that’s true. However, even if it is only two percent of the 10,000 refugees who want jihad, that is 200 people who have an interest in creating terror. That is 100 times the number of people who killed 14 people in San Bernardino. Also, I’m sure ISIS would make sure that some of those 10,000 are their own recruits. I have no confidence in our government’s ability to selectively identify terrorists coming into this country. They just can’t reliably vet 10,000 people. I feel very sorry for the Syrian refugees but I am more concerned about our safety.
When you think about it, where are the resources coming from to fund for these people? Taxpayers of course. And when there’s not enough, they will raise the tax. And if it’s not enough still, they will cut budgets from education, health care and etc. And if it’s not enough still, they will raise the retirement age to 70. OMG! I don’t even know if I’m still alive at the age of 60 (with the polutions that we have right now). Don’t get me wrong, those people are also running away from their own country who abandoned them but I have to take care of my own house first.
I know why not all the people that want them here open their homes to them, that way we know who to blame.
