Think of it from the "terrorist" perspective.
You're going to Canada, which is on the other side of the world. Who do you know there that can actually help your cause, that isn't already known to the government? How do you go about procuring weapons and explosives? It's not like disguised Syrians are going to walk into the local UFA in Prince Albert and buy a bunch of fertilizer without arousing a LITTLE suspicion.
Are there AK47's floating around this country that I don't know about? Are you going to wander the streets of downtown Lethbridge looking for an arms dealer? Hell, I can't even buy ammo for a .22 these days without being scrutinized at Canadian Tire.
Not to mention the microscope these people are going to be under. Is it even a realistic scenario that someone infiltrates the immigrant ranks and causes some kind of incident here, or is it more possible that we all die in a plane crash? Or should we be more concerned with homegrown lunatics like David Koresh or Nichols and Mcveigh?
Maybe I'm out to lunch and totally naive, but I can't see something like Paris happening here. I watch what is happening in Europe, and it STILL doesn't deter me from thinking that we should be taking in immigrants. Hell, I would probably take MORE if it was up to me.

they're not necessarily going to send a raving mad terrorist over, they're going to send guys over that will integrate into the communities and recruit and radicalize.
They're going to send over people that are planners not trigger men, people that already know where the network of weapons are for example, who can encourage and put together a plan.
They're sending over the virus, not the tumor.
