First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
-Martin Niemoller
You are comparing the Jews to Muslims?
One has to be SEVERELY ignorant of history and reality to try an think Neimollers poem is appropriate in this situation.
FFS I really hate what progressives have done to our education system.
I see a bunch of people freaking out acting like this will have a negative impact on their lives. Unless you are a refugee who ONLY wants to go to the US, then why are you whining? Do you want more potential criminals pouring into the US? Syrian refugees have done more harm than good. What do you have to gain in life from letting in a bunch of undocumented foreigners?
If you want Muslim refugees so bad, then why don't you host them in your own home?
Link to the harm Syrian refugees have caused (note that we have only take around 10,000 total refugees out of the 3,000,000 who are fleeing). What harm have they done? None.
Steve Jobs’s biological father was a Syrian migrant who met his mother while teaching and studying at the University of Wisconsin.
Would you prefer that Steve Jobs was never born or lived somewhere outside the US?
I can't believe the incredulity of people who voted for fascism are now surprised that fascism is bad.
Worse still are the grubs that still support Trump. Here's a lesson even sociopaths can understand: the man who is cavalier about disenfranchising your neighbor will be just as cavalier about disenfranchising you when it suits him.
How does it effect your life positively? Most Trump supporters live in areas of the country that have no Muslims or refugees; the only information they get comes straight from the fearmongoring right wing media.
Maybe, after witnessing the chaos in Europe that comes from importing hundreds of thousands of people who refuse to adapt to the local culture, they'd just like to keep it that way?

Exactly...you shouldn't force communities to take in people the majority don't want.
I heard on the news that Lancaster, Pennsylvania is now the refugee capital...must do a LOT for the tourist trade.

^^^^This is a bald faced lie.
As a Trump voter, I can tell you that I live among immigrants from the ME. You need to get out more often.
How many Syrian refugees have you taken into your home?
Not everybody in the world cares only about their own well being. Every person who supports the refugee ban and calls themselves Christian is a fake Christian.
Oh really? So being worried about Syrian refugees makes one "a fake Christian"? Seriously?
Do you realize that when Syria descended into chaos, passport offices were broken into and as a result, many fake passports were created by using stolen ones? Thus, it's become impossible to know if a Syrian passport is fake or real. The European countries who have allowed Syrians in, have found this out the hard way.
So...In your mind a true Christian would throw caution to the wind and let them all into this country?
Since you consider yourself to be a "true Christian", then how many Syrian refugees have you taken into your home?
So I guess nobody else is concerned about broad travel restrictions for American passport holders from other nations...?
