Immigrants From Banned Nations: Educated, Mostly Citizens and Found in Every State

False premise of why more vetting on immigrants from the list is needed.


What false premise?

the false premise is the implication that your stats have any significance

Of course they don't have any significance to those who are already determined to view immigrants as slavoring rapists waiting in line to ravage our women and children and steal candy from babies.

You know this ends with Cheetos right?
80% of the females who have illegally crossed into the US from Mexico say they have been sexually assaulted by their fellow illegals and or Mexican authorities/Cartel members/the coyotes.
That's right. 80%
Are these male mexican illegals all of a sudden going to stop behaving like sub-humans towards females as soon as they get their first welfare cheque?
YA RIGHT!
 
False premise of why more vetting on immigrants from the list is needed.


What false premise?

Here is a list of Muslim immigrants (or sons /daughters of Muslim immigrants) who have murdered Americans since 1972. This list consists of fatalities only where the Muslim immigrant actually murdered the victim. The list of attempted attacks, attempted murders, rapes, kidnappings, honor killings (all including countries which are on the ban list) are not included in this number. READ UP.

Islamic Attacks on America

You had to go back 35 years and that is it?

How do you know they are immigrants?

How do you know they are the sons and daughters of immigrants?

Nation of Islam members are neither. Nation of Islam is a home grown pseudo-Islamic cult..
You mean the NOI "cult" that Keith Ellison used to belong to?
GOD I HOPE he becomes the next DNC chairman!!!!!
PLEASE GOD let that happen!
He and Bernie Sanders, the avowed Socialist, who recently purchased his THIRD luxury home, this one on a lake front, can go out and campaign for Pocahontas.
 
Liberals want them here for votes nothing more....and the tech firms want cheap labor. Americans are the losers

That's a silly statement.

Muslims, as a demographic, tend to be fairly conservative. Like Evangelicals or Catholics.
So the thousands of muslim terrorists who are committing unspeakable violence around the world you would refer to as 'conservative outliers'?
Oh. OK.
 
If I was writing the OP, I'd have taken this approach.

Sure hope we can quickly find a better vetting system and return to allowing law abiding Muslims into the country. They seem to have good educations and have found a place in our nation.

Suggesting they are just all wonderful belies what some have done. Making excuses doesn't really help either.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

I support strong vetting on all those coming from those countries. I also support a constant review of policies and procedures to make sure we are addressing current concerns and to see where we have room for improvement.

Can we agree on that?

Where I disagree with, and why I can't frame it the way you suggest (which is good btw) is that I don't feel we necessarily need a "better vetting system" as such (to the extent that all travel must be halted) so much as we need to be open to constant improvement. I've listened to and read a number of interviews with people involved in vetting and they all feel that (in regards to refugees) - it IS very extreme already. None can think of specific things to do differently. The only thing that was mentioned, and that by Trump and his associates (none of whom talked with folks doing the vetting) was some kind of ideological/religious based questioning. That kind of approach is of dubious value since having a Quran in your suitcase doesn't mean you are an extremist or feeling that being gay is an abomination doesn't mean you are going to go out and start chucking them off the roof.

My purpose in the OP was two:
- the ban that the EO attempted was badly thought out, with no consultation or advise from any of the agencies or people actually involved in vetting. It was an ideologically spawned EO, not a fact based one. Would it have been asking to much to have put a little more thought into the crafting of it first?

- it has fed and encouraged what I see as a rabid attack on all immigrants and refugees from those area that does not seem to be related to what is really out there in our immigrant communities, as our OP points out. Many seem to be integrating well, have skills that we need, and are eager to become American citizens. How does that jive with the claim that they "hate America" and "hate American values"?
You are confusing two separate issues........again.
The "extreme vetting" that has supposedly taken place has been for people from some countries that don't even have a functioning government.
No one can tell if someone from Somalia has authentic 'papers' or 'authentic forgeries'.
ANYONE with $1000 US can get an EXTREMELY authentic looking passport from ANY country in the world. In some countries forged/counterfeit papers are being openly sold at fucking farmer's market stalls!!!!!! As for the 'refugees' claiming religious persecution? Ya RIGHT!
Many of them are from the ruling elite/war lord's extended families.
There are documented cases where family members of the warlords in Somalia have discarded their gold and expensive designer clothes and put on tattered rags and pretended to be poor downtrodden religious refugees only to be seen in downtown NYC climbing out of limousines on their way to a $300 lunch in Manhattan.
It's happening all the time!
WAKE UP!!!!!
 
The article is not arguing that. It's stating that they don't need to be BANNED.

That is exactly what the NYTimes is arguing...Now they aren't so foolish as to come right out and say it in plain language, but if you think for a second that their objective isn't to soften image of those under prospective halt to immigration then you are fooling yourself respectfully.

It is not saying "we should just ignore the threat from those countries" at all.

No, you're right...Instead it is more insidious...It argues by painting people from those countries trying to get here as just highly educated doctors, and engineers....I call BS...What's even worse is that they cite a radically left wing think tank for evidence to bolster their conclusion....

Are you talking about all travelers from those countries? Those countries are on DHS' list of special concern, they are exempt from the VISA waiver program, and travelers do recieve additional scrutiny. But the levels of scrutiny probably depend on the types of visas involved. Only refugees admitted under our refugee program get the most extreme level of vetting that can take years, and that would include Libyan and Yemeni refugees.

Ok, if you are sure of that, then it should be easy for you to show me proof of how people from Yemen, or Libya are vetted.

I'm not a professional. What I provided was articles on it from people who, presumably know what they are doing. Added to that is the fact that there have been very few "failures" in relation to the people coming in. No system is 100% perfect.
Just so we all understand you.
You are claiming that out of so many people entering the US very few of them commit terrorist acts. So like 'once in a blue moon' right.
You might have a different opinion if one of those "failures" murdered your family.
One "failure is one too many!
ANYTHING that can be done to eliminate the odd "failure" MUST be the number one objective.
 
For some odd reason people seem to think that the premise of this thread is that educated people don't become terrorists.

That's not the premise. It's obvious that educated people can become extremists. So enough with the strawmem.

The premise of the thread is too combat the rabid anti-immigrant fear-mongering that is going on. Rhetoric that portrays these immigrants and barbaric misgynists who spend their days beating their wives, and go out at night raping women and children, who hate America, hate American values, and want to destroy our culture and only came over to suck on the welfare tit. The OP's statistics are at odds with the popular meme.

And for the additionally confused, this is about immigrants in America.

As the OP article pointed out:

Most United States residents from these seven countries have become citizens, a rate higher than that of the foreign-born population in the country as a whole. A small number, about 10,000, have served in the American military.

Of the more than 856,000 immigrants, visa holders and green-card holders originally from the countries affected by the ban, just three are known to have carried out violent attacks inside the United States since Sept. 11, 2001,
according to David Sterman, an analyst at the New America think tank who maintains a database of terrorist attacks in the United States.

...Since Sept. 11, 2001, a vast majority of the perpetrators of terrorist attacks came from countries not listed in the ban, and many were born in the United States.​

You don't become citizens if you hate the country and it's values, and you certainly don't right in it's army. There are always exceptions, and some, like the Somali's are struggling a bit, but by and large they seem to be a successful group in our country.
From what you have posted I take it you are involved with/working in the 'education system'.
From your chronic spelling errors and child-like sentence structure if I were you I'd be suing the LIBERAL INDOCTRINATION CENTER/s you attended for 'lack of performance'.
I can't offer any advice on how you can stop being habitually wrong on everything.
 
2% of a million is twenty thousand (I think---I do arithmetic with pencil and paper-----........usually)
 
Amazingly the articles author paper, or the think tank they cited for their basis, does not.

It's something I have no problem with - extra scrutiny for those who have traveled back and forth between certain countries.

Then your article, which IMHO is total propaganda btw, is contradicted by you here...The article is arguing that there is, paraphrasing, 'nothing to see here' concerning these people because 1. Many are already citizens, or greencard holders, and 2. they are predominantly highly educated, so we should just ignore the threat from those countries...It's BS.

Coyote, do you believe that people coming from Yemen, or Libya are 'vetted'?

The article is not arguing that. It's stating that they don't need to be BANNED.

It is not saying "we should just ignore the threat from those countries" at all.

Are you talking about all travelers from those countries?

But the levels of scrutiny probably depend on the types of visas involved. Only refugees admitted under our refugee program get the most extreme level of vetting that can take years, and that would include Libyan and Yemeni refugees.

In a few months they will NOT be banned. Be patient!

So let's say your wife is from one of those countries, has a permanent green card, traveled out of the US and is banned from returning. How patient are you?
Total bullshit!!!!
ANYONE with a 'permanent Green card' was not and will not be "banned from returning".
Any women returning to a country like Sudan or Somalia to 'visit' must enjoy the 'attention' she gets from the goat fuckers.
 
An informative read...some facts that don't fit the rampant stereotyping of immigrants and refugees coming over to the US. Given their rates of citizenship, and the fact that far more served in the army than committed terrorist acts, it's hard to make the argument that they "hate America", "hate western values" and "want to destroy us".

Many have college degrees
As a whole, residents from the seven predominantly Muslim countries, especially Iranians and the small group of Libyans, are better educated than the rest of America. People from Syria and Sudan also tend to be better educated than the national average.

Some have prospered
Residents from Iran, Syria and Libya, who are more likely than the population as a whole to be managers, engineers and teachers, make close to or above the median income for the entire American population.

Somalis and Sudanese are overrepresented in blue-collar jobs in manufacturing and transportation, and make less. The median income of Somalis is less than half the United States average.

Iraqis, Somalis, and Sudanese are more recent arrivals:
The pattern is roughly commensurate with how long immigrant communities have been in the United States, with nearly half of Iranians moving there before 1990. Nearly two-thirds of Iraqis, Somalis and Sudanese have arrived since 2000.

Most Are Now Citizens
Most United States residents from these seven countries have become citizens,
a rate higher than that of the foreign-born population in the country as a whole. A small number, about 10,000, have served in the American military.


Three Were Involved in Attacks
Of the more than 856,000 immigrants, visa holders and green-card holders originally from the countries affected by the ban, just three are known to have carried out violent attacks inside the United States since Sept. 11, 2001,

...Since Sept. 11, 2001, a vast majority of the perpetrators of terrorist attacks came from countries not listed in the ban, and many were born in the United States.

Highly educated Muslims have been carrying out many if not most terror attacks on US soil.

You'd have a point if that were indeed the point made OP, but it's not. It's a strawman. Keep trolling.
I have rarely witnessed someone with feet as small as yours and so anorexic.
Every time you post something here you end up dancing on the head of a pin and getting your lunch eaten.
Maybe it's time for you to give it a rest.
Don't worry. In a week of two President Trump will sign a EO making making August 14th Taco Day. Then you can return and put up a hundred posts decrying President Trump's "Attempt to get everyone hooked on 'corn oil".
 
Title of thread: Immigrants From Banned Nations: Educated, Mostly Citizens and Found in Every State

Opening Paragraph:

Immigration from the seven countries targeted by President Trump has been going on for decades but has never been much more than a trickle. Altogether, immigrants and visitors from those countries are about 2 percent of all foreign-born people living in the United States.

Most of these people are naturalized citizens and are not directly affected by the ban. But the status of tens of thousands of those with permanent resident status is not as clear, as administration officials have said they may be subject to greater scrutiny if they travel abroad.


And visa holders may not be able to return to the United States if they go out of the country.


Here’s a look at who these people are and how they have settled in the United States.

Concluding paragraph:

Three Were Involved in Attacks
Of the more than 856,000 immigrants, visa holders and green-card holders originally from the countries affected by the ban, just three are known to have carried out violent attacks inside the United States since Sept. 11, 2001, according to David Sterman, an analyst at the New America think tank who maintains a database of terrorist attacks in the United States.


One of the attackers was born in Iran and was a naturalized citizen when he drove his S.U.V. into a crowd at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2006.


The two others were born in Somalia and entered the United States as refugees. One of them stabbed at least 10 people in a mall in Minnesota. The other rammed a car into pedestrians on a sidewalk and stabbed students at the campus of Ohio State University. Both attacks occurred in 2016.


Since Sept. 11, 2001, a vast majority of the perpetrators of terrorist attacks came from countries not listed in the ban, and many were born in the United States.



No one is claiming educated people don't become terrorists (strawman). What the article is repudiating is the idea that these people hate America, hate American values etc. and that they are not an asset to the US and that they're likely to be terrorists. Instead, they seem to assimilate well, become productive citizens and don't cause many problems..

Thank you. :spinner:

It is making the point that they are assimilated because they have higher education and good jobs. But they don't assimilate even with higher education and jobs, the amount of terror attacks by these types proves it. So using the excuse that they are have higher education and can "contribute" to society is non sequitur.

These people do not assimilate. Even if the first generation immigrants are non-violent, the second generation ones tend to be far more dangerous. Many of the terror attacks carried out in the US and Europe were committed by the children of immigrants from piss poor Islamic nations.

856,000 from those countries....3 attacks.

Sure...they don't assimilate.:rolleyes-41:
Ever visited Dearborn?
SUUUUURE they assimilate. SUUUUUUURE!

Numerous have been caught plotting and launching terrorist attacks and even more have been going to or caught attempting to go overseas to fight for ISIL.

Which "numerous" have been caught plotting and launching attacks?

Oh please! What planet do you live on?
 
It is very difficult to establish which muslims are likely to become terrorists.
The only common denominator seems to be Islam.

Only Muslims are terrorists?

How quaint.

Now? Just about all terrorists are Muslims. To deny that is ridiculous!
True. Not to mention the fact that nowhere Did I actually say 'only muslims are terrorists'. The thread seems to be about muslims, and I pointed out that it's pretty difficult to know which of them will become terrorist, and the only firm common denominator I can see is Islam. Not educational level, not poverty or wealth etc. How would the common denominator for non muslim terrorists be Islam??? But coyote likes to misrepresent what people say.
