IMMIGRATION/NATIONAL SECURITY: “The U.S. has given sanctuary to more than 3 million people fleeing religious, political, or racial persecution since instituting rigorous refugee screening in 1980. Not one has killed anyone in a terrorist attack. Even if you include the three Cuban refugees who murdered three people in the 1970s, before thosse standards were in place, the odds of a U.S. citizen dying from a terrorist attack by a refugee on American soil are infinitesimal- roughly 1 in 3.6 billion, according to the Cato Institute, or 48 times less than the chance of being killed by an asteroid.”
