One could make the same argument to those who are so nosy and wish to control whether or not women can get an abortion.

Nevertheless, I'd be willing to bet recruitment for terrorist groups will spike tremendously. I can see examples of young men becoming radicalized, because they were wrongly separated from their families or unable to go see a dying relative in one of the banned countries in fear of not being able to return to the U.S. I hope not, because it's so scary and plausible.

As usual, the supporters lack foresight are never smart enough to think about the long term and potential risks of a decision.

Empathy, it's a thing. Did the drowned Syrian 5-year-old on a Greek beach have a negative impact on your life?

American jobs for Americans.. Theres 1. Less threat of terror attacks by non-assimilating people who are EASILY brainwashed to be radicalized by nutty mullahs. Like the protestors. Theres 2. Less people to foot the bill for when there are plenty of other countries these people can go to. Theres 3.

What proof do you have to back this up?

I thought that the Iraq war already did this?

So you look forward to seeing more people in the country turn away from religion, buy you want to......bring tens of thousands of very religious people into the country? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
