Trump meant to ban muslims from entering the USA until a way can be found (if this is even possible) to determine who is good and who is bad. That is just common sense. To do otherwise is playing a form of Russian Roulette.
The idea of bringing the refugees into the USA is also something that should not be allowed, especially since there are places abroad that they can be taken to for safety. There are radical muslims who are trying to impersonate these people in order to sneak into our country and begin planning their acts of murder. Don't agree with this? Then, simply put, you are an idiot. And I am NOT calling you names -- I am merely describing you. I am not referring to anyone specifically in this thread, but am speaking in general terms.
The common thread weaving both of these issues is that it is impossible to vet most of these people. The record keeping in these other nations is not as complete and efficient as we have here in the USA. The backgrounds of many of those people simply are not on any record that we can examine. That is a major reason why terrorists can use this fact to gain entry into our nation. And yes, people have EVERY right and reason to be afraid of muslims -- simply because there is NO way to tell what is going on inside of them. Most are peace loving people who just want to live in peace. Some are radicals who are planning to kill as many of us as they can reach.
Even muslims (the innocent ones) are afraid of other muslims for the exact same reasons. That is why so many of them fail to speak out about the radicals among their demographics -- because they would also be killed by these radicals. So Ruth, and others, you have no need to apologize for expressing fear, or concern, regarding muslims. It is very much like being around black people. Most of them are fine citizens. But their people do commit most of the violent crime in the USA -- so who is to say whether or not a black person walking toward you on the sidewalk is a good person or a mugger, etc.?
It is only human nature to feel fear in situations that are potentially harmful to them. And I'm looking forward to reading the replies to this post that try to refute this reality and pretend it is not true. LOL
People also forget that the USA discontinued almost all immigration into this country from around 1924 until around 1964. There is no automatic right for any non-American person to enter this country, so we are not violating any foreigner's rights by denying them entry into our country. The safety of ALL American citizens in this country is what must receive top priority.
No American citizen can be blamed if they feel unsafe around anyone who appears to be from the middle east. It was not like this before 911. But, since that infamous day, the entire world has changed because the radical muslims will stop at nothing to achieve their goal of killing anyone who does not believe as they do. And anyone who says that people are acting out of hatred, or silliness, are absolute idiots. We've already seen acts of murder committed in this country by radical muslims -- a fact that cannot be refuted.
And, as long as radicals are out there still planning to kill as many of us as they can, we must practice diligence and try protect ourselves as much as possible.
