American patriots must continue to march and protest against Trump's discriminatory aggression.
You are not American Patriots, you are Anti-American Traitors.
A Patriot puts their own nation and people first, a Patriot doesn't want potential terrorists coming into their nation to murder their own people.
You are Traitors pure and simple.
We stand for what America stands for, much of which is carved on our Statue of Liberty. None of us are for unfettered or unregulated immigration, or unvetted refugees. But we are a country that is built on offering the "American Dream" to immigrants willing to take their chances and work for it, and immigrants who come here do work hard. They don't come for "freebies". The refugees from Syria have been through hell, are continuing to go through hell with no end in sight. The people who aided us in Iraq, are in a uniquely dangerous situation - they and their families are subject to persecution because they aided us. Being a patriot means...upholding these values, and the values of openness, welcome, equality and opportunity and freedom and not letting fear cause us to destroy them. It shouldn't matter what religion they are. It should only matter that they are willing to take a chance, start a new life, and work hard. That's what I think is important.
