And then they came for ... well, that's about it, isn't it?
It isn’t “helping” Cruz at all and you need to realize that.
M.A.S.H. is your history book?
Be sure to get a signed copy from the ultra libtard Alan Alda.
There’s nothing unconstitutional about keeping members of a particular religion out of the country: they’re foreigners who are already out of the country, they don’t have any right to be here.
Cruz stood up to Washington? He stood up in the Senate, hardly Washington. He has governing experience? What would that be? Yes, he does look moderate, moved from his far right, conservative Christian, stand for the right no matter what to I don’t want to say anything controversial.
“You cannot constitutionally say that immigrants from hypothetical country “A†cannot be Muslims while allowing others from that country in. It would have to be a situation where you say “none†from country “A†can immigrate.”
But again, WHERE in the constitution does it state that non-citizens have a right to come to the U.S.?
Cute. No one is coming for Muslims, we’re saying stay where you are, don’t come here. A very big difference.
I think that argument is too much even for the liars on the SCOTUS.
Absolutely Outrageous!
You equate a seventh century death cult with any other religion?
Pound Sand!
Ummmm, last I checked, this is a sovereign nation that can do whatever the hell it wants with our border. Get a clue.
Paradigm Shift
Dims, LaRaza, GOPe all discombobulated...exploding heads all over.
Horsefeathers: we discriminate like this all the time based on wealth or education, etc.
In this world of instant communication we SHOULD be able to get a background on anyone wanting to immigrate to the US.
No one has a RIGHT to come here, that is totally up to us.
aND CRUZ ACCOMPLISHED VIRTUALLY NOTHING
PING....
I see Trump reading from selected passages in the koran...
something about "striking the necks"
and cutting hands and feet from opposite sides of the body
etc....
... and told them they're eligible for insta citizenship, welfare, food stamps, medicare, medicaid.
... and then they came back for more people and told them to kill the Americans, kill the French, kill anybody not Muslim. <- [sarcasm for the NSA].
Nonsense. Trump is calling for a pause in the IMMIGRATION of FOREIGNERS while we reassess. Same as Rand Paul is asking for. There is nothing -NOTHING- in his statement that would include "locking up" anyone.
“I suggest that you learn recent American history!”
“Recent”????? I think not.
FRiend, Mr. Trump cannot do what he is saying, and it would be a very bad predident to set.
What is to keep a future POTUS or Congress from excluding conservative Christians, et. al. This is really quick way to set up future second and third order effects that are not intended.
I share the fear of many here of Muslim immigrants, and MOST certainly think they require more scrutiny. However, to make a blanket “no muslims” is not a realistic or smart thing and I am surprised that more cannot see this.
I again submit that even Mr. Trump knows what he is saying to not doable and unwise, but he is more concerned in pleasing a crowd than doing something truly substansive other than rhetoric.
