Immigrants seeking lawful work and citizenship are now subject to ‘anti-Americanism’ screening

They say that like it's a bad thing.

[Cold Heart]

Yes they do. Several times just in the excerpt.

[FLT-bird]

Good! We have no need for ingrates and those who hate the country and its history, culture and traditions.

[17th Miss Regt]

“endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused” anti-American, terrorist or antisemitic views.

Pretty much a blanket exclusion of muslims...

[iamgalt]

AP Is just disgusting. Of course we don’t to let US hating a-holes into our country.

[FreedomPoster]

Good!

I voted for this!

[j.havenfarm]

Wow. Read the room, AP. You’re exactly right. What’s described here is no doubt supported by a majority of the population. They need to go back to looking for individual sob stories. There, if anywhere, is the left’s hope of Tue ing back the tide of public opinion

[RKV]

Me too!

[A strike]

'xactly !

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

AP apparently believes we should be admitting people to this country who have anti-American views.

That's just a strange position when you think about it.

[Lake Living]

We have enough Americans who hate our country, we don’t need foreigners moving here to help them.

[ealgeone]

I call that WINNING!!

[R_Kangel]

..... Of course what the media won't tell you is that this was always a part of the Visa/Immigration procedure .... The only difference now is that, instead of ignoring it and looking the other way, It will now be focused upon and actually enforced ...

[dfwgator]

These are the same kinds of people that defended the thugs Sacco and Vanzetti back in the day.

[usurper]

Historically this is how it always was. Its nothing new. Commies and other American hating scum were excludable under INA are still are. We just haven’t enforced the provisions for 60 years.

It’s about God dame time.

[Texan5]

It appears that the authors of this bs article have forgotten how the terrorists who flew planes into buildings, killing nearly 2000 people on 9-11 got here-and who they were. No way do we need to let anyone into this country again to work/live without knowing they are not anti-American, members of a terrorist organization, etc...

[FlyingEagle]

Feel good story.

[blitz128]

Since most of the ones screaming are anti-American, shouldn’t be a surprise that they want more who hate America here

[Colorado Doug]

This is just common sense and long overdue. Let AP cry all they want

[VTenigma]

If they are not legal ship them back. The can prove their “Americanism” from their home country with their application for citizenship. We’ll get back to them.
