We Are a Nation of Immigrants, So Welcome Everyone

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

I think everyone knows these are the words on the Statue of Liberty. But America once again wants to close its borders against refugees seeking a better life. The Syrian Refugee Crisis is the largest refugee crisis since World War II. And as a quick reminder:

he Statue of Liberty Must Be Crying With Shame
The Statue of Liberty Must Be Crying With Shame

Let’s put some rational thought into the fear of terrorists:

According to 2011 data from 2011 National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) report:
1) The chances being attacked by a terrorist are roughly 1 in 20 million.
2) The likelihood of you drowning in a bathtub (1 in 800,000),
3) Losing your life in a car crash (1 in 19,000),
4) Dying in a building fire (1 in 99,000),
5) Being struck by lightning (1 in 5,500,000).

From this, I would suggest that all bathtubs be registered and placed in internment camps.

And welcome the Syrian Refugees!
