Quote:He's not talking about asylum he's talking about immigration. Trump is suggesting a religious test of some sort before anyone is allowed to immigrate, holy crap you don't see how dangerous that is?

 

Not to long ago it was Catholic and Protestants blowing each other up in Ireland, with this kind of thinking we would've stopped all Christian and Catholic immigration! 

 

Damn Trump is out talking about FDR and his actions as if that was something to emulate, possible one of the darkest points in our history and this idiot wants to take us back for round 2.

 

In all fairness.  The IRA never flew a plane into an American building.  This is a response to a threat that is constantly evolving.  

 

 

Quote:Trump is an idiot. A dangerous idiot.


What's really scary is that there are millions of dangerous idiots out there eating out of the palm of his hand.

 

Lol.  Trump is the dangerous idiot?  lol.  Ok.  So far how many people has his immigration policy killed?  What about the geniuses at the DHS that have 72 people on the terrorist watch list working in the @#%^!!!  building.  THOSE are the dangerous idiots.  

 

The female shooter espoused radical views and was associated with fundamentalist elements in her own country.  There is no way post 9-11 that she should have been grated a k-1 visa let alone after the events in Paris and the subsequent abolition of what we know about terrorists.  

 

That's why Trump said that we should suspend it UNTIL OUR REPRESENTATIVES figure out what the @@*$)% is going on.  anyone in favor of just letting anyone into the country without vetting please register in the dunce line.

I'm in full support..

 

SECOND.

 

Quote:There's a HUGE difference in ending immigration from a country and ending immigration from a religion. It would be one thing to say these states are known sponsors of terror and therefor we are no longer accepting immigration papers from these states, but to blanket an entire religion is just absurd, unrealistic and hyperbole at best. 

 

It's probably the single dumbest thing Trump has said yet.

 

We are not dealing with a nationalist threat.  We are dealing with a delocalized enemy that does not wear a uniform.  It is born of an ideology that is fundamentally at odds with our constitutional values and inherently devalues anyone or anything that does not agree with it and refuses to recognize any form of sovereignty or authority not born of it.  you may disagree with this proposed tactic but we have to concede that we need a 21st century approach to a 21st century problem.  

 

Quote:Understood but he's talking about implementing a religious test before immigration. Even if we accept it and ignore the abusive nature that could later be used against other religions, it's pointless. Does anyone really think a terrorist isn't going to just deny being Muslim to avoid not being granted access (assuming their immigrating legally in the first place)

 

This is the reason why it doesn't make sense and would never be implemented.  It does however make for a nice soundbite that allows Trump to suck up all the available oxygen in the room ensuring that none of his primary opponents have an opportunity to fuel their campaigns.  

 

In other news, The Obama administration is actively barring proposed CHRISTIAN refugees from Syria...  Carry on.
