I have nothing against people who want to come to the US for a better life as long as they aren't Muslims.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, you realize that, right?

Neither do I. As long as they come here legally, through the appropriate port of entry, obey our laws, submit to the appropriate background criminal and medical checks before immigrating, and as long as the numbers let in are beneficial to the United States and that they're not displacing an American worker.

Sooo . . . to you, does that mean that any, say, illiterate, tubercular, destitute Russian who can scam his way onto a plane ought to be allowed to walk off at JFK airport without so much as a second glance from us? So he can find a better life over here?

And some Egyptian moslem with a PhD in languages coming to work for the DoD translating documents from Arabic to English ought to be denied a visa?

C'mon, guy, turn on the thought processes. You've established a false dichotomy, that all immigrants are good unless they are moslems, in which case they are bad. I'm no fan of Islam, but I'm not willing to make that kind of false choice.
