DETROIT– Cows, drinking milk, and getting struck by lightning are statistically more dangerous than a refugee.
That’s the argument behind a lighthearted article headlining an e-newsletter sent by ArabAmerica.com on Wednesday.
The featured article — by contributing writers Zachary Tarrant and Kristina Perry — includes a photo side-show and sites figures released by the Migration Policy Institute asserting that the actual prevalence of extremism amongst the American refugee population since 2001 has been “a paltry” .00000375 percent.
“Paltry might not even quite capture the miniscule nature of this figure,” the article states. “Only 3 refugees out of the 800,000 admitted in that 15 year span has been connected to terrorist activities. Only one has actually been convicted.”
Perhaps Donald Trump should ban drinking milk, before he attempts to bar Syrian refugees from entering the country.
