Texas is so big, and we have so many Muslims already here, that we will never notice it unless he's sending them to a small town.
Oh, and we are nice to them. I see Muslims every single day. They all seem nice to me. I take them at their word and treat them with respect. If behind closed doors they're plotting, I guess we will find out when the next attack occurs. Nothing we can do about it. That's the federal government that is supposed to protect the citizens, though I don't believe they're doing a good job of it.
9/11 didn't destabilize the Middle East. Our response to it did.
I always thought so, but screw Saudi Arabia. We never destabilized them for one minute. They are still the worst place on earth, and their leaders are still firmly in charge. They destabilized everything by importing their brand of Islam all over the world. They are the reason fundamentalism is growing instead of becoming more moderate over time. They caused all of it as far as I'm concerned. Bush just took the bait, but they're the ones holding the rod.
I also don't think we destabilized it. We just took the lid off the crazy. And Obama is no better. He destabilized Libya and kept the Syrian rebellion going for so long it caused trouble all over the world.

The genesis remains our '53 overthrow of a democratically elected government in Iran. That stupid and totally unwarranted action would have steep consequences that we're still seeing the fallout from.
Secondly, our support for the Mujihadeen in Afghanistan against the Soviets was equally stupid and shortsighted. We had no national interests in Afghanistan. The Soviets never would have won, and the rebels would've continued to bleed the Soviets and keep them occupied for as long as the Soviets tried to subdue them.
Thirdly, our support for dictators in the Arab world came back to bite us.
Then our invasion of Iraq. Don't even have to explain how stupid that was.
Sorry, but I can't let us off the hook. This isn't the Saudis fault.

Saudis met with Obama today. Do you think he bowed when he met with them and traded some Asalamalakums?
Frankly, the USA shouldn't be taking in refugees when we can't afford to take care of our veterans, or our homeless problem. I see thousands of homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles, and we have to import more jobless people? They're going to get tons of free aid, why can't our citizens get that help instead?
