To state the obvious, if only 1 out of a thousand Muslim immigrants is a terrorist, admitting 1 million Muslims means admitting 1000 terrorists. You can believe that the vast majority of Muslim immigrants will be law-abiding and still be concerned about Muslim immigration.
No thanks. I agree with Trump, not Cruz.
The vast majority of Muslim immigrants are here with expired visas, or as “faux refugees”
>> Trump is not out of the mainstream.
What’s the opposite of “politically tone deaf”? “Politically perfect pitch”?
Whatever it is, Trump has it as much as Bush lacks it.
And it’s driving the media and the GOPe nutz. I love it.
Cruz needs to wake up on this. Trump is right. Would any freepers invite guests into their homes if there were a strong possibility that some were genocidal murderers? Of course not. Then why would we invite possible Jihadists into our country without a good vetting process? This is really a no brainer, unless you suffer from the mental illness known as: Political Correctness (otherwise known as Cognitive Dissonance)
Left to me, I forever ban Moslems from this country.
Sharia and our Constitution do not mix.
Forget Gun Control, we need Jihad and Sharia Control.
Start here!!
Trump knows this is a can’t lose position to take.
-Most likely voters support this.
-It positions him to garner more support whenever a terror attack occurs anywhere in the world.
If there are no major terror attacks between now and the election then that’s WONDERFUL!
If there are terror attacks then Trump’s numbers rise.
The other candidates will lose a LOT of support if they’re so sure Trump is wrong...they go around running their mouths.
The fact is the American people are tired of the BS.
Regarding the proposal by Trump to temporarily halt all Islamic entry into the United States, there is a lot of hype, misinformation, ignorance, and out and out lies being circulated in an attempt to slam Trump.
The people see this...but a large number absolutely agree with Trump.
So, what is the truth of the matter? Is Trump's proposal illegal? Is his proposal un-Constitutional? Is his proposal un-American?
Well, please read the following.
Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, the president may, by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
This is in the U.S. Code of Laws. It was passed by Congress in 1952 and has been the law of the land ever since. And, by the way, at the time it was passed by a Democratic Congress.
So, to be clear, if the President determines that murders/killers/enemies are infiltrating any group of people to do harm to America, he has been given the power by Congress to stop or restrict that groups immigration or non-immigration status and ability to come into the country by proclamation. This is precisely what Trump has proposed…and for obvious reasons.
It is NOT un-American, it is U.S. Law.
It is NOT un-Constitutional, Article 6 Paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution regarding no religious test refers specifically and only to the election of Congress...not to immigration.
As President, Donald Trump would have full legal authority under U.S. Law to do exactly what he has proposed.
All of the hype, outrage, and statements to the contrary are either political grandstanding, abject ignorance of the law, or willful lies regarding the issue.
If found out that arsenic had gotten into your water supply, and there was a 1 in 1000 chance every time you drank your water that you would either be severely injured or die from it...would you keep drinking the water?
would you keep bringing that water into your home?
Of course not.
You would put filters on the water that you absolutely knew would keep the arsenic out. You would then check it very regularly to be sure there was no arsenic...and until you did, you would get good water from elsewhere.
The way I see it, Trump is proposing filtering potentially dangerous water coming into our nation. Even if 99,99% of it is good, until you know where the other is...or are sure it is not there at all...you would have to stop the inflow.
And Trump did not really propose a ban on all Muslim immigration. Only a pause to figure out what is going on and how to manage it.
Not unlike Paul Ryan’s vaunted “pause” on accepting Syrian refugees.
Def: - One that wishes a radical muslim will cut your head off.
Is this the same senator Cruz who was pushing for 500% increase in foreign workers?

Is this the same senator Cruz who wants a path to legal status for illegals?

Is this the same senator Cruz who voted to facilitate passing of Obamatrade?

But I do not blame senator Cruz. His hands are tied by his rich donors. Such as $11 million donation from just one rich donor, Robert Mercer.
A simple question for Cruz, and I am not a Cruz hater,
Why isn’t Cruz supporting the law that is on the books re not opening our immigration doors to bad people/
Like with gun control, we don’t need more gun control laws we need to control and monitor evil like the two jihadists who killed 14 and injured as many last week. Then do something to prevent them from mass murder.
Per existing federal law at 8 USC 1182:
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to appropriate.
Current laws banning admission to the US, and not requiring new laws. Just need someone like Trump to have them enforced:

Rush Limbaugh discusses how Jimmy Carter used this law to expel thousands of Iranians.

Trump’s “Nutty” Proposal Is Already the Law of the Land
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | December 9, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh
Over here, everybody in the establishment in the political class, Republican, Democrat, media, you name it, is all claiming that what Trump said is dumb, stupid, reckless, dangerous, unconstitutional, while it is the law of the land. And it was utilized by Jimmy Carter, no less, in 1979 to keep Iranians out of the United States, but he actually did more. He made all Iranian students already here check in, and then he deported a ton of them.
There is precedent for everything Donald Trump has said he wants to do. And if you listen to the wizards of smart in this country and our political establishment, you will think that this stuff is just unheard of, it’s almost unspeakable, it’s just indecent. Here we have in the establishment the reputed best and brightest, the smartest. We’re not even qualified to be in their company no less. And they’re dunces on this.
In November the 1979 United States attorney general had given all Iranian students one month to report to the local immigration office. Seven thousand were found in violation of their visas, 15,000 Iranians were forced to leave the United States, 1979. When this law, inadmissible aliens I just read to you, which I’m gonna be reading a lot to you today to the point you’re gonna get tired of hearing it, but you won’t forget it.
Please send this to fellow conservatives, media outlets and to liberals, who need a whack in the head with reality of how their President Truman signed this law and later Carter used it to get rid of a lot of potentially dangerous Iranians.
That’s 20 per state.
Bump....
