His metaphor is pretty spot on though. He's saying, "Yeah, most, hell, almost all, of these refugees are legitimately good people in a fucked up situation. However, mixed in with those good people is an incredibly resourceful and dangerous enemy. By not vetting each and every refugee, we are putting ourselves in an incredibly dangerous situation. However, the sheer volume of refugees renders any attempt at vetting them impotent, there's just no way. So the safest course of action is just to not let them in."
Now, in my opinion, when, as a nation, you have a neighbor so dangerous that its own citizens are fleeing in droves, you don't open your doors to let refugees in, you open your doors to send in troops and stabilize the area. We need to help the Syrian government in the only way America knows how: open warfare. ISIS is a menace bent on world domination. It isn't just America's enemy, it is the world's enemy. I'm not saying we need to reinstitute a fucking draft or anything, but we need to take action. Perhaps covert at first to establish a foothold in the area, but eventually we need to face this threat with overwhelming force. This country was founded on war, it's what we do best, it's more American than baseball and apple pie. If we don't deal with ISIS over there, make no mistake, we will be dealing with ISIS over here.
"you [...] send in troops and stabilize the area." - Sir, Yes, Sir! And how wonderful this worked out, every single time, for the last 60-70 years! I'm not saying, I have a better plan. I am not saying the right thing is always the best thing to do. But this attitude is an important part of the problem in the middle east. Also its of limited help when it comes to dealing with the refugees at this very moment. They are at the door, and they will come in, one way or the other. Maybe better be at least partly in control of things.
As to ISIS smuggling in their people: most, nearly all islamist terrorists were either born in the country/area they are assaulting, or came in as students, business men or for other legit reasons.
He wasn't comparing the refugess to tainted peanuts. He was comparing the ten bad peanuts to Isis member that would be hiding amongst the good peanuts, aka Isis members. I usually like Trevor Noah and the daily show, but I think they might be trying to hard on this one.
