They Lie!
FOX says the president is proposing to admit 100,000 refugees (Trump, in his pathologically lying way, has escalated that to 250,000).
Fact: Current plans call for admitting 10,000, so Fox is only off by 90%.
But misinforming their audience on this matter plays right into their continuing effort to demonize the refugees and make Americans afraid of an imaginary horde of potential suicide bombers.
The truth is that entering the U.S. as a refugee is perhaps the most difficult path to entry. It takes going through a rigorous array of inspections that can take years to complete. Why would a terrorist subject himself to a process that takes so long and is likely to result in his capture?
I suppose the lemmings never thought of that; then again lemmings don't think, they blindly follow.

Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina repeatedly have claimed that the Obama administration plans to accept anywhere from 100,000 to 250,000 Syrian refugees. That’s false. By law, the administration can admit slightly more than 10,000 in fiscal year 2016, and no refugee commitments can be made beyond that.
