President Obama said on Wed. Nov. 18, 2015, regarding the Syrian refugees, that apparently Republicans are afraid of refugee widows and orphans. This statement is designed to ridicule the Republicans, not to really fix anything.
As an Independent I'm afraid, actually terrified, of the 14- 35-year-old orphans who are here for one reason-to do us harm. Judging from the response of the people and the State Governors, the President may be the only one who is not afraid.
We don't have a full compliment of security guarding us every minute of every day. Nor are we viewed as a Muslim sympathizer. So, no wonder he's not concerned.
In France we can see the results of policies similar to what Obama advocates. It is likely that the France we all knew is gone. Our future will be no different if we are not vigilant.
