    For the second time:

    1. No shit, they should be arrested. They are "known terrorists" but law enforcement cannot find them.

    2. These "known terrorists" have given law enforcement a legitimate reason to be in the database. Merely being the member of one religion is not a legitimate reason. Again, not that hard to figure out.

    Yeah, I honestly don't understand the opposition to pausing to make sure our vetting processes are sufficient. On ANY nationality.

    Pausing is what xenophobes do.

    I'm certainly no xenophobe, but I think it's reasonable to to think there is another option other than "Keep the Muslims out!" or "The more the merrier!" Whether they're from Belgium, France, Syria, Iraq, it is critical that we do as much as we can to weed out any potential threats. It seems ISIS is only escalating.

    The report claims that just a couple hours before kickoff, the French secret service alerted the German government of the alleged plot. As the intelligence agency understood it, a five-person group led by a German citizen planned on detonating three explosive devices inside the stadium itself, which they were to sneak into the facility either by hiding them on their persons or by obtaining an ambulance with clearance to enter the stadium.

    The preferred nomenclature is grammar Trump.

    We already have a pause built into the system, considering it takes 18-24 for the average refugee to make it to America. I'm plenty good with that, but not the ginned-up freak out the House passed this week because politicians wanted to pander to ignorant constituents.

    That's a lot of "ignorant" folks.
