Donald Trump says he may set up a commission to study his immigration policies and his proposed ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S. The man he may ask to lead the commission is the former New York mayor, Rudy Giuliani, who's called Trump's idea of a Muslim ban unconstitutional.

During the Cold War, refugees who were not Communist were admitted to this country. Communist Party members were not. We also banned known Communists from the Western democracies from entering the United States. Of course, after Eisenhower, enforcement was lax. Case in point: Lee Harvey Oswald. However, the precedent was established: supporters of a hostile ideology were not welcome as tourists, much less resident aliens.

With the gamut of New York Tri-State Area “moderate” Republicans advising Trump (e.g., Christie, Giuliani, King, etc.) what can possibly go wrong? /src

Ask any infidel or Jew in America if they would be OK with America’s population being 60% muslim. If not, at what percentage would they be comfortable?

Cruz said the same thing about letting them in....except he described muslims (without using the word) as immigrants "from certain countries"...instead of using the word Muslims.

Cruz simply reworded what Trump said.

And if I remember correctly....Trump said it first....and Cruz jumped on the bandwagon.

Miniature American flags for some...New York values for everyone!

I’d like to see Trump publicly ask London’s mayor to help us figure out how to tell which Muslims are friendly and which are not. It’s a legitimate question and the mayor’s answer could be interesting

1) There’s no way to tell (Trump’s ban is smart)
2) It’s only a small number of “fake Muslims” (a non-answer)
3) We’re all terrorists but let us in
4) —something that actually helps—
5) —silence—

I’m betting on silence.

This is what good managers do. Set up a team of knowledgeable people to solve the problem.

No micromanaging here.

As was the (very successful) immigration policy of the United States from 1925 - 1965.

Which we could do again if only we also had the very successful birth control and abortion policy of 1925-1965 again.

If I remember, Rudy was a little bit of an open borders type of guy. That’s what got him in trouble here in 2007. Am I remembering that right?

"Why isn’t it tenable to permanently ban Muslims? I think it is."

two words: petro dollars.

big ME oil money has made whores out of many congress critters.

And if I remember correctly....Trump said it first....and Cruz jumped on the bandwagon.

Cruz did a lot of that bandwagon jumping at the end.

[Ciexyz]

Yes, Rudy for Head of Homeland Security.

[Trumpinator]

Why isn’t it tenable to permanently ban Muslims? I think it is.

Every time I see Clinton or Sanders on stage they make sure there are hijab wearing Muslim women behind them - it makes me sick. It is not even the case that there are a lot of Muslims in America to court - outside of a few communities there are not that many. It is pandering to Islamists by the left for a demographic that is as illiberal as one can get. It's like these leftist white loons are OK with a religion t hat is aniti-left values just because the members of that religion are "oppressed brown people".

[Cobra64]

What is, “WTP” ?

[impimp]

Name one congressman who receives Middle East oil money. This is not an issue, especially on the Republican side.

[Blue Jays]

Good post, Trumpinator. I similarly find that very fascinating.

If a sizeable number of radicalized Islamist jihadists arrived here, it would be a disaster. The handwringing leftists would be among the first group Muslims would start beheading, drowning, tossing from rooftops, plus all the other vicious ways they use to annihilate non-Muslims.

Liberals are convinced they would be "best pals" with these murderous maniacs.
These ingrates have no appreciation we are actually HELPING their constituents stay alive with our "intolerant" ideas.

Trump kissed Rudy In a dress.

[Eagles6]

Even now you can feel the hate from their eyes.

[Blue Jays]

You can say that again.
There are Muslims with whom I deal whom I know are seething with anger just below the surface.
They will never admit it...yet it is absolutely palpable.
