My grandfather and father were both immigrants. My grandfather fought in WWII and my father volunteered to join the military early in Vietnam. They were two of the most patriotic men I have ever known. My father's parents lived in America the last 40 or so years of their lives. Between the two of them they spoke very little English up to the day they died. Did they not assimilate well enough? Should they have been ejected?


Trump's latest comments are ridiculous. And, like everything else with him, it is scarcely defined. EXTREME ideological vetting (with electrolytes) where we ask immigrants if they reject Sharia Law.. as if our government scrapping over two centuries of the law we have had is a realistic fear (tin foil hat wearers will be mocked mercilessly if this is posed as a legitimate fear). As if any terrorist couldn't just lie about their beliefs. He is pushing buttons and the mouth breathers lap it up without acknowledging (again) he has not defined what he will actually do or how it will work.
