Very good questions, the first answer IMO is you really can't tell the state of mind of anyone, unless that individual is actively stating they want to destroy the US, the west, Israel, or any other country/religion. However do you really want to roll the dice with countries whose primary sources for education are radical Islamic madras’s? Do we want to allow people with that education or no education at all come to our country, what purpose does that serve and is it worth the risk? I understand historically the bring me your tired, your poor, your hungry history of our country, but that was a different time when we needed more people in this country and before kids were strapping on explosive vests and walking into hotels and schools.
On the second part I'm not going to get into the views of America, I'm concerned with bringing in known or likely threats to the security and safety of this nation and it's citizens, every time we allow someone from Somalia, Afghanistan, Yemen etc and the list goes on and on we all collectively take a risk that I personally don't think is worth it. How do we discriminate, well how many Indian doctors blew themselves up in crowded markets last year? How about Swiss dentists? French Bankers? Now how many Iraqi's blew themselves up last year? Ok which should we let in, seems pretty simple to me.

Given the option of either, allowing anyone from regions who hate us to immigrate with no guarantee they won't be blowing themselves up in our local malls, or not allowing anyone from those regions to immigrate, I personally would chose the latter. Given how much radical Islam has infiltrated some of those countries why would we even want to take the chance, especially given the lack of skills/education in those regions? We should be targeting skills that we need in this country like doctors, nurses, or scientists, I don't think there are too many of those coming out of Somalia or Afghanistan. If the people from those countries don't like it, then they can solve the problems in their own countries and not come here.
