I have yet to hear a cogent argument about how this benefits our country, beyond the platitudes of "increasing our diversity" and whatnot. If there is a genuine reason why allowing immigration from Third World Muslim countries benefits us, I'd like to hear it.
Because tourism employs millions of Americans and brings billions of dollars into the US economy. As for immigration, we need it because it brings talent and taxpayers into the US.

All of us no matter the religion condem this. We need peace.
Yeah, just a blip on your radar.

Of course it was not a box truck, so much for the accuracy of first reports.

Ban assault trucks?

Require trucks to be locked in safes?
Require comprehensive background checks?
Common sense Truck laws?
Require psyche evaluation to obtain a truck?
Reduce fuel tank capacity from 30+ gallons to 5-10 gallons?
Ban fully automatic transmissions?
Ban bumpstock hitches?

Maybe it's time your relatives grow a beard the size bigger then their heads and say they're Muslims and maybe then they can get in easier.

He was also armed with a paintball gun, so he was probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I think some creative punishment for this guy is in order. One, he gets a tattoo on his ass with Mohammed's face and a pig's body. Give his cell mates something to look at while the sodomize him every day. Put a Star Of David on one side of his face and a cross on the other. Give his cell mates something to aim at when they punch him every day for luck.

You can put a ban on every country in the world, but that won't stop the people already here who get radicalized.
Who was president 7 years ago, to put this country on a travel ban? How do you know where this guy was when he became radicalized and when?
