They also bring their culture.

"Immigrants from the Arab world come for the same reason all immigrants come - economic opportunity, opportunities to have an education, to develop a professional career," said Helen Samhan, executive director of the Arab American Institute Foundation, a research group. But do they come with the intent of becoming American? If they bring their theolkogy with them, they may not be trustworthy. After all, it is the educated class that has most supported terrorism.

Hmmm. I wonder why.

"These days, anything that moves votes one way or another by the thousands can have an impact of seismic proportions

Can anyone say, "Sharia"? And I'm not even kidding.

The concentration of Arab-Americans in a few key election states, particularly Michigan, also has boosted their political influence.

I'll vote for an Arab if he is pro 2nd. Amendment.

Catholics need to have more kids! Quickly.

If these were Christian Arabs, this would not be a problem. They would be a welcome addition.

But, letting Muslims in is as dangerous as inviting in members of the Soviet Communist Party during the heyday of Stalin. They are both murder cults and bent on political and theological supremacy, usually over piles of dead bodies!

This is all recent stuff. Indianapolis and Toledo had large Christian Arab populations in the early 1900s. Their descendants still live here. None of these people show up in the Census reports on ethnicity.

MULTICOLOR!

We must arm ourselfs now!!

Excellent point. Even now, most Arab-Americans are Catholic. But the liberalized immigration laws are putting America in danger. We can't let radical Islam become a force in this country. By the way, who changed the immigration laws so that this could happen?

"The backlash that occurred against Arab Americans following Sept. 11"

What backlash did the arabs in America face after 9/11? Sure, their dirty little secret is out in the open and we are FREE to talk about. Frankly, I'm surprised the arabs did not suffer any real backlash. What, 3 or 4 violent crimes, some slander, but hardly any. If there is another 9/11 type event here in the USA, I hope we as citizens do not hold back our anger.

Actually I do believe that Arab Christians are the majority that come here, Most to escape the rule of the religion of peace

"Catholics need to have more kids! Quickly."

Not just the cat-o-leeks-as my mom-in-law's dad used to say.

We won't. Trust me.

Ping!

[luckydevi]

I know plenty of Arab muslims who are conservatives and hardcore republicans

I'd prefer we just not immigrate this war to our homeland.

Unfortunately, most of our government is AWOL on immigration issues, with George Bush being one of the worst offenders.
