Do you believe you have the right to move to Bermuda to live there regardless of the wishes of the local citizens?
No, of course not. I'm a naturalized American citizen, so I know more about the US immigration system than most people here.
But Trump did originally say that American citizens should be denied entry into the country based on their religion.
Then the confusion of the OP, Jake and the entire Political Class on this issue should be fairly obvious to you.
DO you agree that comparing the Interment of Japanese Americans and the barring of entry of Alien Muslims is an Act of Madness on their part?
The internment of Japanese Americans was way worse than barring Muslims. But barring Muslims simply based on religion is still bad and makes us look small, intolerant and xenophobic.
So,
a. YOu agree, the OP, Jake and the Political Class are insane to equate the two.
and
B. What about the certainty that deadly enemies will be included in the immigrants?
No, I don't think it's "insane" to compare the two because both make negative assumptions about general characteristics of a group of people, whom you are assuming are guilty and need to prove their innocence. That one is unconstitutional and one may not be, and one might be worse than another, does not make both odious.
As for B, that's an argument to end all immigration.
You can't make assumptions about the general characteristics of Muslims? Can you "assume" they are Muslim? Furthermore, we don't assume a damn thing. We know from numerous polls exactly what these people believe. Given that knowledge, it's stupid to import any of them.
