Sen. Marco Rubio (FL) told Boston Herald Radio on Monday that he’s “open to” the U.S. accepting some of the refugees and migrants who are fleeing the Middle East, Africa, and Asia as long as there are no terrorists among them.
“We’ve always been a country that has been willing to accept people who have been displaced and I would be open to that if it can be done in a way that allows us to ensure that among them are not people who are part of a terrorist organization who are using this crisis,” Rubio told Boston Herald Radio. “The vast and overwhelming majority of people who are seeking refuge are not terrorists, of course, but you always are concerned about that.”
Rubio said the U.S. needs a “long-term strategy” for those fleeing their homelands so they can eventually return if they want.
“That sort of instability in the region that we cannot isolate ourselves from — it will eventually impact us — and now it is potentially destabilizing many of our NATO allies in Europe and is asking question of us, whether we are going to be prepared to accept the refugees the way we did for example, during the civil war in Sudan,” he said.

Smart thinking ! Rubio is a very bright guy !
Republican handbook- All people from middle east are potential terrorists…EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!
I wonder if being this dumb is at all liberating?
All refugees will be required to take a test:
Q1: Are you a terrorist?
Q2: Are you sure you’re not a terrorist?
Q3: Do you “pinky swear” that you’re not a terrorist?
Pandering to the Syrian vote. IT WILL NOT WORK, MARCO!
I bet Rubio never thought he’d be telling ER doctors Pam Geller and Ann Coulter opened a can of whoop ass on him and next thing he knew campaign staff were calling 911.
