What makes you think we need immigrants from terror sponsoring countries for our economy to work?

So you don't understand how the economy works, that's cool.

Very poor comparison but nice try stretching.
Not such a far stretch. Khomeini and his wackos were a threat because they were Islamist.

Great non answer....why don't you explain exactly which skill sets that are so crucial to our economy are unique to immigrants from terror sponsoring countries to the whole forum?

I understand that we could halt immigration entirely and still have unemployed American citizens.

Do you have any clue how many businesses in this country do business with countries in the Middle East?

Nobody is saying that - it's a Garbage Myth perpetuated by the Leftists. What part of Vetting people from Islamic Terror areas that have declared WAR on the USA are you not getting?

We not only have the RIGHT to control our Borders/Immigration - the US Government has the DUTY to do so. Using Mr Kahn just because he is a Muslim as a Political Attack on to give an Advantage to Queen Hillary is disgusting. American First - that is not Political or Complicated.

The person I was commenting on was in fact saying that. This myth that Muslims are all potential terrorists is the fear mongering that we see from the right wing. Those are the same people that are willing to throw our service men and women under the bus when they come from Muslim countries.

People are allowed to practice any religion they like, and someone's religion isn't a good reason to deny someone the ability to immigrate to the US if they choose to do so legally.

As for your comment on Hillary, I don't like her either, I think both Trump and Hillary are awful choices that the two big parties have selected.

Read the article. it's obvious you didn't.

Where does the Constitution say we must allow freedom of religion even if the goal of that religion is to subvert out Constitution and destroy us?

"Freedom of religion" in the Constitution was referring to the the Christian sects. NOT to worldwide religions, some of who would be hostile to our Freedom and our other protected rights.

You need a Constitution course. I took one.
