Quote:My apologies. Was multitasking when I posted. Zero deaths from refugees on banned countries list was what I meant to post.


Still.. does the list provided warrant the action taken? You would argue it does. I would call it counterproductive and divisive. Terrorist groups are calling it the blessed ban and using it as proof we are at war with Islam. And the rest of the world is condemning it.

The bottom line is other countries really dislike Americans. Even the ones we have friendly government relations with. Our immigration policies aren't going to make them dislike us even more. They don't need any more excuses than the fact we are known as loud and arrogant Americans that meddles in world affairs.

 

But what you are still hung up on thinking is that this is a Muslim ban. The countries on the list only represent less than 8% of Muslim populations. What they do have in common is know radicalization and they also have no diplomatic process of vetting or assisting the US with vetting the folks that want to come into this country. Whether we currently have refugees or not from these countries residing in the US is irrelevant at this point. There were some mistakes and laws being ignored. The country is moving forward in upholding and fixing known issues. You yourself said you support vetting, but you still argue against. Do you believe you can move freely from one country to another without being subjected to those countries policies? Why aren't we allowed to have a US interest without fear of disdain from outside our borders? What is your end game or the point you are trying to make in all this? Not the media's words, not some other countries words, but your words as a U.S. citizen.
