Why would they choose to play that lottery? They could, with much less effort, target their desired entry point by use a temporary visa which we issue to millions of people every year.
You are fighting the wrong fight. Stand for closing visa loopholes if you want to make our country safer. We are more likely to die to a terrorist that crossed our border with a temporary visa. We are exceedingly more likely to die to a born and bread American citizen than a Syrian refugee. Unfounded paranoia benefits no one.
It does not matter if the number is 10k, 65k, or 6.5m. If a refugee can not pass the process they do not receive asylum. Unless Congress decides to loosen the stringency of said process this conversation is moot. Considering they made the process even more stringent last week that scenario seems extremely unlikely.
