“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

Refuges.
Are many of them, ‘legitimate’, and truly want a better life?
   SURE.

Are their many, ‘Terrorists’, riding the back of, ‘legitimate’ refuges.
  ABSOLUTELY !

So, their is the problem.
One group says, all refuges are good, another group says all are bad.
In history, it has been proven, in several cases, BOTH Ways !
(Which had depended upon, where they came from, and why.)
So, what is learned from past, experience?  
What do we do today?

It it, spread the Fairy Dust and sing, and let everyone in ?
(One day you are eating Rocks & Twigs, 24 hours later,
you are watching Cable T/V, eating your fill of Pizza, and drinking Sugar Pop.)

Is it, rigorously, ’vet’, them ?
(Segregate, make sure they go though the demanding process, of becoming a Citizen)

Or, is it somewhere in-between ?

Does it make a difference if they are coming from a Country/Place, that had NO history of ANTAGONISM, to anybody. That was ravished by flood/fire/etc. That were disheveled in appearance, down trodden, dirty, and had only the tattered cloths on their backs. And were very happy for a piece of stale bread soaked in water.

Or, if they were  coming from a place that had a long history, of Terrorism, and were dressed in good cloths, caring knapsacks, wearing ear/finger rings, laughing smiling, and Demanding, their food, be a certain thing and prepared a certain way.

Would you treat, both groups the same way ?

So What do you think, is the Solution?

NOTE: This is a Opinion, not a, ‘my way or the hy-way’.

But at the same time, the US is the biggest arms exporter (by far).... so the 'opposition' always has access to these 'poker chips'....and the cycle continues.

NOPE, the BRITS are, the USA by proxy through BAE, money funneled back to the crown

The Stockholm International Peace Institute is where I got my data. They seem to consider the US as the biggest arms exporter.
Wiki also, on various pages.

"The United States remains the leading arms exporter increasing sales by 23 percent, with the country’s share of the global arms trade at 31 percent. Ninety-four countries imported US made weaponry, with the Middle East accounting for 32 percent of the purchases."

"India, Saudi Arabia, China, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan have become the largest importers of weapons in 2010-2014, according to SIPRI."

Have you got a link for that info?

(Regardless of the country of origin, the poker-game analogy still works!)

Well let’s see.

 Colt, Remington, Winchester.
The Leading Firearms Manufactures in the US in the early 1800’s
(and others not so well known)
ONLY, sold their firearms to ‘One’ side,
in the US, ‘War Between the States”. ?

Oh, and the UK,   ONLY,  sold,  ‘Endfields’,
    (A, type/brand, of firearm)
to, ONLY,  one side?

Perhaps it time to get back to the topic:
Are their many, ‘Terrorists’, riding the back of, ‘legitimate’ refuges.
