figure that out before we get them here? You can't FORCE the states to take care of them or there wouldn't be any homeless people in the US. How about whose going to pay for the making sure they're not terrorists? Or just open up the borders and let anyone who claims to be a refugee in? Given isis has already said they would infiltrate that way, that probably wont be a good idea. I'm sorry these practical questions seem to have made you cranky.
