To Let Them In, Or To Keep Them Out

MUCH THAT I HATE to admit it, the republicans (in America) have a point, concerning refugees from Islamic countries. Better not let 'em in here. It only takes one person to raise hell, and, who can tell, about anybody raising hell, really? Of course, there's that Jesus thingie, you know, the one about the good Samaritan. And not because anybody in particular or any particular religion has the truth, its because, the words of Jesus convey a philosophy of life that, even upon close examination, seem to be a perfect blueprint for a higher level of existence. His words would seem true even if they were, say, mine, and not his. (We can all make his words our own, eh!) So... anyway... what's the call? Maybe we should let ten thousand Syrian refugees in, after they fill out a questionaire, the way Obama wants it, and just take our chances, because of our desire to achieve a Christlike society, and because the law of average is on our side - maybe. One way of looking at it is to assume that if radical Islamic terrorists were wanting to sneak into America, they'd've already been doing it for years, by walking across the Rio Grande at night, which is no great accomplishment, not at all hard to do, evidently. Then, where are they? Hiding out, waiting? Will there someday be day of terror, hitting every town in America, some horrible day in the future? Let us hope and pray not. My intuition tells me that we could all act like Jesus would, and get away with it, vis a vis the teeming refugee hordes. But one can never be too careful, you know.
