This decision carries significant diplomatic costs. Our refugee program has been a cornerstone of US foreign policy since WWII. Allies will think twice before helping us if we abandon those who assist American interests.
Valid concerns, but national security must be priority. We need stricter vetting in unstable regions.

Research shows refugees actually boost local economies long-term. They fill labor shortages, start businesses at high rates, and pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits over their lifetime.
