A 22-year-old Syrian refugee was recently arrested in Germany. Homemade explosives were found in his apartment. They were intended for use in a terrorist act. Hillary Clinton supports letting tens of thousands of Syrian refugees into the United States. How many terrorists will be among those refugees? How many will come in as innocent young […]
