Fiorina Gives Wrong Data To Defend Not Taking Refugees
[su_gootxttop]
Carly Fiorina falsely states that “the vast majority of refugees leaving Syria are able-bodied young men.”
“First, you know, I gave a speech about this on Saturday,” Fiorina told radio host Mike Gallagher on Wednesday. “Let’s start: Mrs. Clinton, President Obama, global warming is not our greatest national security threat. They have said it is. It is not. Secondly: of course we are a compassionate people, but the vast majority of refugees leaving Syria are able bodied young men. And our own government has told us that we cannot properly vet these people, so of course we can not be letting them in.”
…The number Fiorina is apparently citing comes from the European migrant crisis — those arriving in Europe by sea. Of this group, 62% are male. Not all of those going to Europe are Syrian refugees, however.
