Trump's Muslim Ban is Working. Muslim Immigration Slumps
Newsweek ^

Posted on 12/14/2017 11:31:11 AM PST by Cubs Fan

During his campaign, President Trump promised to ban all Muslims outright until he could figure out “what is going on.”

He later explained that this idea had developed into several policies that would have the same effect.

Since his inauguration, Trump has begun to implement them—they include slashing the refugee program, banning all immigration and travelers from several majority Muslim countries, and imposing new burdens on all visa applicants as part of “extreme vetting” initiatives.

So far, these policies appear to have “worked,” strongly reducing Muslim immigration and travel to the United States.

Muslim refugee admissions have fallen dramatically over the past year. According to figures from the State Department, Muslim refugee flows fell 94 percent from January to November 2017 (the last full month of available data).

In calendar 2016, the United States admitted almost 45,000 Muslim refugees, compared to a little more than 11,000 in 2017—fully half of those entered in January and February.

Of course, the administration has cut refugee flows generally, but the Muslim share of all refugees has dropped substantially too—from 50 percent in January to less than 10 percent in November.

“The salesgirl is hot. Too bad she’s a dragon.”

Considering:

That she’s not morbidly obese,
Doesn’t have hair the color of a sunrise or sunset,
No visible tats,
Coming from AL >probably< isn’t a radicalized feminist.

The butts are down on the totem pole.

My former fiancée’s family smoked like chimneys. She’d come back to me from Chicago and would just reek despite her not smoking. It’s a turn-off for me.

Oh, I agree. It’s gross.

BUT, at this point, if I >had< to pick between:

Moby, the 400 lb. sled dog who has blue hair, tats and a nose ring
or
A good looking chick that puffs?

I’ll take the puffing. There’s really no decision to make in that scenario.

He didn’t touch Trump’s numbers anywhere I don’t think. Lots of people stayed home. One of the reasons he lost.

We need to do a lot more. We can and should ban the practice of Islam in this country and shut down the mosques. After that should be a mass expulsion of Muslims and confiscation of their property. The proceeds from selling muzzy property could be used to offset the cost of resettlement.

People will cry “First Amendment,” but the First Amendment doesn’t protect invaders looking to destroy our way of life.

I live just down the highway in Decatur.

housing is surprisingly cheap here. I’m not a mobile home type...but may just drive over to visit.

that owner sure does characterize the more respected folks ‘round these parts. Bibles n bullets comes to mind.
