Those really don't count, come on you can't judge an entire ideology and it's followers over the actions of a few. And remember , those view were driven insane by the terrorist version of the alt-right media. It really is all our fault , and we owe it to these countries to welcome them with open arms.

My Christian Chaldean friends from Iraq felt just as you do, until they started seeing other Christians (including some family members) being slaughtered by the followers of the religion of piece. They fled here, it took close to a year and a bunch of money before they were able to set foot in the states.

I have a feeling a lot of people are simply in favor of this because they can't stand Trump and anything Trump does they will do the opposite without thinking logic. And for others they know it's future votes.

I see Trump as the traitor. His actions with the National Security Council are irresponsible and his blanket ban (and mention of special treatment in favor of christians) is unAmerican. He deserves every Hitler comparison he is receiving.

Agreed-


Only an idiot would dismiss the dangers of radical Islam to the US.


In a perpetual quest to become "compassionate" and "inclusive", liberals have vacated any common sense or reason. How many US citizens need to die due to the lunacy of liberalism?

They don't want to make "America great again". Thats why they are upset and talk about all the progress that was made with Obama that Trump is a threat to. They are trying to kill off the "good old days"and white America as we know it.

What they want is globalism and the way to get it is to have enough votes by letting in illegals and everybody else they can who will vote democrat.

And here is an article I found, on the reasons the Gulf states will not take in any refugees. Pretty ironic, when you think about it. Either we as a whole have become stupid or their is an agenda. I'd love to hear someone on the lefts reasoning on this. I've already thrown out the way women and the LGBT community are treated in those countries and hear nothing in reply.


"Another concern is the fear that the influx of foreigners may dilute their culture and threaten their identity. "

"The possibility of terrorism and security threats also loom over the question of welcoming Syrian refugees."

"There is a fear that militant or terrorist groups could penetrate Gulf states by hiding among the refugees."


"This can lead to a volatile situation when large, unassimilated working-age people face permanent poverty amid the great wealth of a host country to which they have acquired no loyalty through citizenship. As a result, to protect their citizens from further demographic imbalance, these countries are not willing to absorb new foreigners."

All this, from countries that share the same Ideology.

Please show us where "liberals" have stated that they "want" a large influx?

I have not seen a single so-called liberal argue against vetting people coming into this country.
I have not seen a single so-called liberal argue against immigration controls.

This liberal wants an end to the hypocrisy shown by Trump supporters who have no issues with him importing workers via the H1B and/or H2B programs while applauding the horrible treatment of people who have done exactly what they were supposed to do in order to get visas and green cards to enter/reside in this country.

This heartless action has done nothing but show the world how nasty we are as a people.

Jesus wept.

Do you think a massive influx of unskilled, uneducated people who refuse to assimilate is beneficial to the nation? Do you feel importing people who want to subjugate women and kill gays is a good thing?

If you think this is great, take a look at Minneapolis and Dearborn.
Because they want to be viewed as nice people, and besides, they don't think any of these people will move in next door to them.

It's nothing more than a nice gesture on there part. It makes them feel like 'one of the good people,' and it's something that they don't think will ever personally impact them. You know, "somebody should do something," as long as that somebody is not them, not their family, and not their children.
