Apparently not. Turn on the local news.

We have troops in Africa trying to stem the spread.

It's always someone's fault, eh?

The same could be said for the tiny percentage of zealot Christians who kill abortion providers.

It's too small of a number to generalize.
What percentage of terrorist attacks over the last 20 years have been carried out by muslims? It's not a tiny fraction of a percentage.

And? They were raised here from childhood. Legally.

No thanks! Unlike you, I am also working while trying to keep up with this latest tragedy. No extra time to check out your suggested forum. Here's an idea....why don't you find something more to do with your time?

And btw...people DO have a right to their own beliefs on immigration, even if they do not match yours.

Yes, let's make it about race. I can see you are an excellent judge of what it means to be American.
