Homeless people from Kabul wouldn’t get asylum, including under the pre-Trump2 standards.  

Well, I was using hyperbole to make a point.

But to your claim:  they might, if they crossed our border, claimed asylum, and passed a "credible fear" interview.  The degree to which they might pass such an interview depends on the interviewer and/or the policies of the administration.

You are quick to relinquish the rights our founding fathers had the foresight to enshrine in our founding documents because you foolishly feel it will make you safer in the short run, without a second's thought about the long run. 

Equality and freedom of speech, religion, and assembly are also rights our founding fathers enshrined. Some of the solutions you're proposing are just as large an infringement on individual rights as "taking away our guns." 

I own a gun and am pro 2A. I also greatly value of our other freedoms and prefer none be taken away, especially based on reactionary anger in the aftermath of a horrible incident that didn't happen here.

The 2023 award for ‘Antisemite of the Year’ was won by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib by StopAntisemitism. As antisemitism rose internationally after Hamas’s October 7 attack, the congresswoman beat some fierce competition all seemingly vying for the top spot. Tlaib beat Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Supermodel and Influencer Gigi Hadid.

Tlaib, represents the 12th district.

Funny, your use of "problematic."  You and Moderate TimHauck saw a brown person with an Arabic name and insisted he was Muslim. 

I didn’t “insist” on anything.  I search for the truth, wherever it leads.  You on the other hand were happy to cling to the possibility that an unsourced claim that he wasn’t Muslim might be true.

Think for a moment. In this scenario you’re talking about someone fleeing the Taliban or AQ, actual terrorists. The terrorists are the people we are fighting, and this supposed applicant would be democratic (small d), our ally. You’d send him back to the terrorists, even if he’s pro-American & pro-democracy?

I see your point about the administration policies but even under Biden/Trump1/Obama people were looked at very closely.

There are also fake news websites claiming the guy’s name was “Edward Crabtree.”  These people will try anything to distract from a Muslim doing something good.

One example who desperately wanted to believe the hero wasn’t a Muslim…

Funny, your use of "problematic."  You and Moderate TimHauck saw a brown person with an Arabic name and insisted he was Muslim.  You also think it's problematic that somebody might convert to Christianity.  The possibility of alternatives goes against your group think -- it's critical that the hero be a Muslim, to lessen the fact that a father/son set of Muslim jihadists murdered a bunch of Jews at a Hannukah celebration.

I have no problem with individual Muslims doing good deeds, as I've said numerous times including my first post in this thread.  As I've also said numerous times, concentrations of Muslims are anathema to Western culture, and create a negative impact roughly 100% of the time.

As I've also also said, this moral relativism is bullshiot.  The teachings of Islam, top to bottom and front to back, are morally inferior to the teachings of the Judeo Christian West.  To use a phrase of yours, full stop.  This does not mean that every individual Muslim is immoral, so please don't go that route.  

"Concentrations of Muslims"

Spreading your bigotry out into multiple paragraphs doesn't make you any better than those who post blatantly hateful one-liners.

Bonus points for tripling down on your "reports say" self-own by pretending other people are the ones exhibiting prejudice.

And in a continuation of the bigotry elsewhere on social media, many conservative commenters are claiming that one of the 2 deceased victims, Ella Cook, was “targeted” for being the VP of the College Republicans.

Most are not mentioning the name of the second victim (Libs of Tiktok and Nick Sortor are some I see right away).  His name?  Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov

Jerusalem Post didn't pick the "winners" - the "Stop Antisemites" group did. The paper was just reporting the results.

So this group has more to do with the results than the Jerusalem Post does. I promise you there are far worse people in the world than Gigi Hadid and Rashida Tlaib. This group is fringe and cringe.

The award was given by “StopAntiSemitism.”  Tucker Carlson is one of this year’s 3 finalists btw.

Tucker Carlson has faced widespread accusations and condemnation from various Jewish organizations, politicians, and commentators for making or platforming comments described as antisemitic. Critics point to a range of statements and actions as evidence of promoting harmful tropes and conspiracy theories.

You can call me a bigot all you want; I've stated repeatedly that I wear that badge proudly when it comes to "concentrations of Muslims."  And I know the label is coming from a low-intelligence wokie who can't argue with a single thing I've said (e.g., concentrations of Muslims in Western countries, from much of Europe to Somaliland in MN, are a net negative to those places), let alone the obvious facts that women and LGBTQ folks are treated like animals, but your moral relativism manages to rationalize it.  But hey, you can put on your  "Queers for Palestine" badge and tell your blue-haired friends how you called the mean internet conservative a bigot.

Wait, what?  You went from "it couldn't happen" to "of course we would let them in!"  You are conflating (1) people who are truly fleeing persecution, which would be, I dunno, a few dozen? with (2) people who live in shiothole countries who want to come here, claim asylum, and join the 80% of Somalis on some form of taxpayer-funded welfare.

We didn’t have a problem with Islamic terrorism in the United States until fairly recently. It was imported.

You may have read past me. 

(1) The specific example of Kabul means maybe thousands. The GOP (Graham) to their credit passed a bill under Biden ensuring Afghans who helped out forces & support are cause are protected. I’m sure you & I agree on that. Fwiw that was Tim’s anecdote from IRL.

(2) You & I probably agree that people seeking economic opportunities alone should not qualify for asylum. Nearly everyone in America, including the president’s mother, wife, ex-wife, & paternal grandparents, got here like that, but technically that’s the “front door.” The INA permits something like 1.2 million per year under that system. Thats the law.

I am going to tend to agree with you, actually, but IMO not all Arabs are the same. The Saudis are the biggest threats. On 9/11/01, 19 of the 20 hijackers were Saudis. They came here on a fast track travel program. That program was reinstated under Trump1, & under Trump2 we’ve formed a NATO-like military alliance with KSA & UAE.We are partnering with them in Gaza. I’ll add we’re devoting a stupid amount of resources on rounding up Hispanic gardeners & ignoring the sort of people you are rightly worried about. 

[SaintsInDome2006 749]

And HT2, much respect for your point, but DHS was designed to share intelligence information on terrorist & foreign adversary (Russia, China, NK, Iran) threats, not act as a massive immigration control umbrella. Our heads are completely turned around.

The practice of excluding  people based on religion, ethnicity, or place of origin alone, irrespective of any other factors, is bigoted, morally wrong, and will make us less safe. I don’t have a problem with extensive vetting, long wait periods, and treating people with more caution based on where they’re from. But exclusion is unacceptable.

Wrong.

Exclusion is completely acceptable. It makes for a safer society. 

You don't need to kill others in other countries or communities, if they are willing to keep the peace, but no way should people be forced to welcome outsiders into their lives.

But we lose something too, right? Two of the last three presidents we’ve had (or 3 of the last 4 if you count Trump twice) have been the children of foreigners. The First Lady is foreign born & the Second Lady is the child of immigrants. The nation’s richest citizen & one of its great innovators is foreign born. The Secretary of State (Cuba) & FBI Director (Tanzania) were children of immigrants.
