Some examples that give the lie to the refugee threat: I’m extraordinarily more likely to die by being struck by lighting, as I’m run over by a car… while being shot.

“The chance of an American being murdered in a terrorist attack caused by a refugee is 1 in 3.64 billion per year.”

“ Your odds of being struck by lightning this year are 1 in 960,000”

“ Pedestrians killed or injured (by a car) each year, the result is one in 4,292”

“ According to the Economist’s chart, your chances of dying as a result of “assault by firearm” is about 1 in 25,000.”
