We are more likely to die by acts of domestic terrorism committed by US born men with guns than refugees.

We are more likely to get killed by a falling television than a refugee.

We are more likely to blow ourselves up playing with fireworks than by a refugee.

Cattle kill an average of 20 Americans every year and dogs kill 28 Americans a year. We are more likely to die from a cow or dog slaying us than a refugee boogeyman.

Elevators kill 27 people a year. Yep, that’s right we are likely to get killed by an elevator than a refugee.

The truth is we are more likely to choke on food and die, get struck by lightning and die, die in a car accident, die from a heart attack or in a police shooting than by a refugee.

Over 16,000 people a year die from pain killers, why don’t we ban them instead!

Hatred and division is NOT the answer. Love your neighbors, especially if they are refugees.
