Albiet, Mike and as stated I was only supposing it to be a national security issue and fortunately it hasn't happened in this country as of yet but it only takes 1 dedicated terrorist to kill hundreds.
Also as pointed out why should these people take precedence over all those who go through the proper channels.
If I'm not mistaken some of these people are paying up to $20k to get on one of these boats, it surprises me that these refugees can even afford that.
Personally I have no qualms with sharing my country with every tom, dick and ..... who wishes to come here and is allowed too do so through the right channels.
Also lets not forget how many other countries would just turn them around and send them home.
