[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2651033, member: 2189"] Got curious with all this talk of refugees, especially from Syria, and wondered what the numbers were. In 2016' from Syria, 13,210 refugees were allowed in the US. What was the number in 2015? 1705 refugees in 2015'. The bulk for both years were muslim but a small number were also christian, even smaller were Yazidis. The way some people have been acting I thought it was in the millions. Of the 19 - 9/11 hijackers, 15 were from Saudi Arabia, 2 from United Arab Emirates, 1 from Egypt and 1 from Lebanon. Contrary to popular myth, bin Laden was not the 9/11 mastermind but Pakistani born Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was. The irony that none of the countries from which the 9/11 hijackers came from is on the ban list everyone is so worked up about nor was there ever any question to place them on such a list to start with. Looking at the list I see the names of nations that play a far more interesting geo-political/geo-economic role that involve motives that have nothing to do with people and their movements across borders. Those motives serve special self interests in Washington DC and not anything to do with real national defense.
