Stop accepting refugees from the middle east and instead offer humanitarian aid to the neighboring countries of origin.

Created by S.A. on November 14, 2015

Bringing any refugees from the middle east (not just Syria) is a bad idea for many reasons.
1: There is the problem of vetting legitimate people from terrorist & other undesirables.
2: The current climate of distrust of Muslims in the US.
3: Culture shock, the refugees are unlikely to want to integrate to US social norms, thus leading to further isolation, possibly violence and a high incidence of conflict.
4: The cost is undeniably high when we already have a homeless & unemployment problem. Adding more people on top of an already struggling economy isn't prudent.
5: Neighboring countries to the sources of the refugees are better equiped to deal with the cultural & religious issues of the refugees.
6: The US can help provide emergency housing, food, health services in the region.
