Do you trust the US government and intelligence agencies to vet the Syrian refugees to make sure that there are no terrorists among them?

Update:

What I mean by my question is that if they will do a good enough job to catch the ones that try to get in.

    No way. Even the Director of the F.B.I. admitted that the vetting process is not 100% fool proof and he could not endorse it as being completely effective. Democrats in surprising numbers just voted against the Obama plan in the House. And a majority of Citizens want nothing to do with bringing Syrian refugees because they recognize the vetting process has holes in it.

    You have more chance of getting robbed and killed by another American than a hypothetical terrorist or any Syrian person. The refugees are from many countries where U.S. has had military action: Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan.

    Yes. Any terrorists are going to come in on legal passports and visas. They are not going to risk sending them when they know we are on the look out for. There just aren't enough to spare.

    Yes, about 90% worth of trust. I don't tend to be afraid of things that I can not personally control.
