What's all the hoo haw (or skittles) over Syrian refugees? Those people need help and Trump's political discourse is all about denying aid to some really hurting people that haven't done anything and just want a new chance at life. The typical profile of a terrorist is not foreign born. I might add that most terrorist attacks over the past 10 years have been by white christians born in the US. The Lone Wolf terror attack is especially hard to prevent. I don't understand your argument, if you have one about foreign terrorists. In this century, with the exception of 911 all the significant attacks in the US were done by US citizens, either naturalized or born in the US.

An ordinary American terrorist
Ahmad Khan Rahami, the suspect in this weekend's New York City and New Jersey terrorist attacks, is in many ways quite typical of jihadist terrorists in the United States since 9/11.
He is an American citizen, not a foreigner, a refugee or a recent immigrant.
That is overwhelmingly the profile of the approximately 360 jihadist terrorists who have been indicted or convicted in the States since 9/11 of crimes ranging in seriousness from sending small sums of money to an overseas terrorist organization to murder. According to
research by New America, 80% of these militants are American citizens or legal permanent residents. They are also not the young hotheads of popular imagination. Their average age is 28, a third are married and a third have children. Rahami, age 28, is married and has a daughter.
FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney said Monday there is no evidence that Rahami was part of a cell, which also makes him also a typical American terrorist. Every lethal terrorist attack since 9/11 has been carried out by a so-called "lone wolf" or a pair of terrorists who were not part of a larger cell.
Indeed, in many ways Rahami is almost exactly like Omar Mateen, who killed 49 at an Orlando nightclub in June. Mateen was a 29-year-old married father and an American citizen of Afghan descent born in New York who carried out his plot by himself.
The bomb that went off in the Chelsea neighborhood this past weekend, injuring 29, is the first jihadist terrorist attack in Manhattan since 9/11.
