Trump - "total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States"


Quote:Thank you for the love, but looking for a "win scenario" is exactly what I am looking for in a Presidential candidate.  People love Donald Trump because he wants to "ban Muslims".  My question presents the problem of "how" and also illustrates that there is no logical way to do that.  The same could be said about his "round them all up and send them back" rhetoric regarding illegals.  It might sound good to his fan base, but when the question of "how" is brought up, it's usually "deer in the headlights".

 

The topic of this thread is Trump wants to shut down Muslims entering the U.S..  I presented two different questions/scenarios and there still is no valid answer.
 

With all due respect, your proposed scenario presents its own absurdity.  

 

Trump said "We should ban the influx of Muslims into the country until we can figure out who these people are."

 

Responding that we can't even do that because we REALLY don't know who these people are doesn't actually poke holes in Trump's assertion, its an indictment of the immigration and customs system as a whole.  

 

Your basic premise, while provocative, doesn't take into account or illustrate the basic tenant of the TRUMPIAN position.  We should grant the privilege of entering this country on an affirmative basis.  By that it means that if we cannot concretely establish who a person is and certify that they have not been in contact with radical elements then they should not be allowed into the country.  

 

The intelligence required to keep this country safe, and the steps that Trump is advocating (not the ban, the process by which applicants should be vetted,) go a lot further than racial profiling.  

 

If someone wants to enter this country then we should be able to completely and affirmatively verify who they are.  We should also have real time intel about developing terror plots and suspected terror operatives to create a database that we can vet people against.  

 

Will there ever be a perfect system?  of course not.  

 

But in California we had a pakistany woman granted a k-1 Visa who had known terror affiliations in her own country and espoused radical views.  THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE!
