That's certainly what you're postulating...circumlocutiously of course.

Problem is, European Christians were murdering Jews in pogroms centuries before the Grand Mufti was born.

Of course, you knew that.

How so? I only posted history. Nothing else.
Everyone gets to come to their own conclusions.
I didn't create history, postulate anything. Is this personal?

Uh, no! We have pulled pork bbq, but that's not what Texans are known for. We like beef bbq around here. Brisket, ribs (pork and beef), sausage, and even chicken. I find pulled pork to be bland, but I know a lot of people here eat it.

It is a life sentence unless deported.
You are confusing illegal immigrants from Central America with Syrian refugees that are being resettled by Texas charities, no surprise there.


Wait for the next republican president so the people on the other side of the issue can criticize their immigration policy. Maybe someone like Reagan LOL.


Immigration policy has been determined by the president for decades but suddenly the court are wrong, funny.

Your point was that the detention centers were over crowed and that was the reason for Abbotts intervention, what do those links have to do with your point. Yes we know Abbott doesn't like refugees, so what. The courts ruled against him but what else is new.

The point was if following the conversation, was if allowed here they would be in detention centers.
