Furthermore, what part of the law says we can’t apply a litmus test of any sort? The law just points out guideline within which we can apply the law - it doesn’t say we can’t refuse based on any of those items.
Do you honestly think we should allow anyone in making the claim regardless of what they believe or where they are from because this chunk of federal code says we can consider it?
That is tantamount to what you are arguing here even though you claim otherwise in at least one other post to me.
I’m not arguing against you. I AGREE with you. We shouldn’t let a single one of these refugees in for security reasons.
All I’ve been saying is that the law you quoted (and the article that quoted it) is being misread. Period. It mentions religion but not in the context you (and that author) are trying to make it fit. You agreed with that earlier.
Now, is there a law that says we can’t apply a litmus test? Not that I know of and maybe we should. That’s not what we’re discussing here though, is it? We’re talking about what the law in the article says. If you want to move the discussion to a different topic, go ahead.
