No way. You guys have got a right to decide who comes to your country. We just fought an election over that very issue. But since when is collective guilt the way to decide immigration, or for that matter, any other policies? Some of your argument reminds me so much of the liberals', on guns- someone commits a crime with a gun, so all gunowners are responsible.
....and how does the exercise of this governmental right while we fighting a worldwide war against terrorism equate with what the Klan did back some 80 years ago?....
Government has NO RIGHTS. Period.
Collective guilt? Where are you coming from? The FACTS ARE that fundamentalist MUSLIMS commit over 90% of world terrorism. And every one of the sicko terrorists that committed the 9/11 assault on America, everyone, was from a Middle East Muslim nation. Much as Willie Sutton quipped when asked why he robbed banks "because that is where all the money is" the same goes for Middle Easterners…because these are the ones that account for terrorism in this world. Moreover, the citizens of this country have every right to expect that our government fulfill its PRIMARY responsibility to “protect” its citizens from enemies "foreign and domestic"...At least that is how it is spelled out in our constitution.
