The "keep refugees out because, terrorism" is such a dumb argument, my brain can't process it.

That's like saying "get rid of battered women, send them elsewhere, we don't want them here because, domestic violence".

"Get rid of any person who was sexually assaulted, send them elsewhere, we don't want them here because, rape."

"Get rid of any bystander who was shot in a mass shooting, send them elsewhere, we don't want them here because, gun violence."


Harming the victim because of the actions of the perpetrator makes about as much sense as harming the victim because of the actions of the perpetrator, I can't think of an analogy because I literally can't think of anything else on par with something as stupid as that.
