Cynthia, no you are correct - but when you responded the way you did to the terrorist threat, we supported you. Now fast forward a few years, and we have OUR citizens being killed on our streets, and on the beach when they are on holiday. We also have terrorists being recruited from within our own country - plotting against us, and going to Syria to fight for ISIS. With ISIS openingly declaring they will send more terrorists to Europe disguised as refugees, are you still saying we should keep our borders open? I can't fly to LAX without security checks, so I can't see that Syrians would be able to.. so why should it be any different for Europe than the US? (Of course, I fully expect you to ignore these questions, the same as every other time a yank comments on these threads does... but that proves the point really - you can talk a good game, but have nothing to back it up).
