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.
The code we are talking about neither necessarily requires a religious litmus test, nor does it deny anyone the ability to apply one.
