One of the shooters was not even a citizen of The United States, the women who was involved in the attack was the other fighter’s wife. This woman was brought into The United States with backgrounds of being from Syria, she has also been tied to ISIS relations. This is just one example of Syrian people making their way into the country with harmful intentions.

The United States does have a valid reason for denying the refugees. This country has to protect itself before it protects people from other countries. Although some people may think it is the humane thing to do, it can potentially put too many people in The United States in harm's
