"Appearances will matter. Justice will be rough, because society will require more order but have fewer resources and less time to impose it. As technicalities give way, innocent people will suffer. If you don't want to be misjudged, don't act in a way that might provoke Crisis-era authority to deem you guilty. If you belong to a racial or ethnic minority, brace for a nativist backlash from an assertive (and possibly authoritarian) majority. At the height of Crisis, you might have to choose between loyalty to the national community and loyalty to your own group."

--William Strauss and Neil Howe, The Fourth Turning, Chapter 11

If at any time in the last 20 years the American Muslim community in general had arisen and had chosen loyalty to the national community, we would not be in the situation of at least a plurality, if not a majority, of Americans ready to wreak havoc by any means available, Constitutional and otherwise.

Are you suggesting that it would be unconstitutional to restrict Muslim immigration? Because it wouldn't.

YOUR ANALYSIS is spot on. The moslems in America refused to police themselves, instead shoving enemies of this nation in our faces. Their silent approval of the killers among us guaranteed this response.

The Trump proposal is really nothing more than what others have proposed—a pause.
