Should we limit refugee intake to just women and children?

Would that eliminate the risk of terrorism from refugees, which currently is happening far too often?

Or should we be taking refugees at all? If they go to places like Saudi Arabia instead, we could help them better there. One refugee probably costs us about £10,000 when they come here

No because there are lots of men who have no means of survival in Syria or Iraq. However, we should be more vigilant once we've taken them in.

We shouldn't be taking refugees in the first place.

We can't. By both the international legal refugee conventions that we are signed up to, and EU law on asylum seekers, refugees have a right to family unity. In fact, if the family is still together, then the father is almost certainly what's called the "principal applicant" for refugee/asylum seeker status, while his wife and children hold "derivative status" as long as they are his dependents.

Unfortunately if it means protecting our own people then it would have to be the case.

So there's only actually 1 terrorist attack confirmed to have been carried out by a real refugee. You should read the sources you share more carefully, and also you didn't need to share 4 links talking about the same incident lmao

Well considering that most of the immigrants heading to the West are men, pretty sure lots of them left their wives and children at home...

Refugees do not make up any real relevant percentage when it comes to terrorist statistics. By far the majority of them were brought up in the West and some even have been here for several generations. The refugee program is far more struggle for a terrorist to go through, a lot easier to get someone with a visa to do it, right?

1, No it would do very little to eliminate the risk of terrorism, sinces the cases where a refugee has been responsible for an attack are very rare. Of the few attacks that have happened they seem to be radicalised, disenfranchised or mentally vulnerable people already here.

2. We take refugees in due to our international obligations, from the agreements we wign and our position in the UN and the world as a leading power.

3. Refugees go to the west because thats where they envisage a better life and a more tolerant society. The numbers being accpeted in the UK will be 20,000 over the next 5 years. there are currently about 117,000 asylum seekers/ refugees in the UK. Reaktively quite small compared to other European countries.
