A perfect example of what happens when you don't have strong borders and maintain the strength to defend them.  Thanks 

God fearing White Supremacists attack, lie, cheat and steal you blind, all while debating if you are really a full human being, wiping out your culture, killing off the game you relied on for thousands of years, polluting your air, polluting your water, giving you a small slice of territory you already possessed forever contractually/by treaty between sovereign's unless it is later determined there is something on or under it. All on the strength of the argument God favors us, hates these heathens?

 

Put into perspective it doesn't really seem as glamorous as you make it sound. Might makes right went out of fashion quite some time ago.

First of all it is not a Muslim ban. A vast majority of Muslims world wide are unaffected and non Muslims from the banned countries are also affected. Muslims from countries with a vetting process are unaffected.

 

 

Secondly let's do a comparison of now versus the Ellis Island days.  Back then you weren't allowed in if you had a disease that posed a health risk to Americans. Today illegals are bringing illnesses such as drug resistant TB and leprosy with them unchecked. Back then there were no government handouts for immigrants and if it was deemed they couldn't provide for themselves they weren't let in. Today illegals demand government handouts and get them.

 

if it's not a Muslim ban, when does Trump plan to keep his promise of a complete and total shutdown of Muslims coming to America?

Back then you could walk across the Mexican border into the US without consequence. No vetting. 

There was none. My father's grandparents (both sets) and parents were fleeing raids and forced confiscation of their property back in 1913-14. They were all able to become permanent residents and eventually citizens because there was zero inspection back then.

Wasn't the poem part of a fund raising effort to get money to build the pedestal?

Yes, it was part of a fund raising effort.

  No one is side stepping. Obama didn't try to use an executive order to ban these countries or he would have faced the same issue. Trump is trying to do it after talking about banning Muslims on the campaign trail. He couldn't have made it any easier for the judges.

 

  As far as being about national security, the original 90 day ban was said to give DHS time to assess security and vetting protocols. Sixty days has already passed since then so where does another 90 days come from. It just shows again that they are winging it here and they are not doing a very good job of it. It's amateur hour at the white house and unfortunately, it looks like it will be for 4 years.

 

I thought about that too. At this point I think it's just each side trying to prove the other.

We know you heard Trump say he wants a Muslim ban during the campaign. I am not moved by this ridiculous back peddling and selling it as

travel ban. It is what it is and what it was always meant to be. A campaign promise and now he is repackaging it as having to do with

security travel ban. Give me a break.

Why is it that the most hatred for immigrants more often than not come from other immigrants? 

[Ebunoluwa 6,136]

Probably because they feel more important by putting others down that seek the same they did.....like ordinary school yard bullies.

People are on power trips of self importance, money speaks and wealth rules.

 

The Native American genocide will always remain a stain no matter how you 'white' wash it.

Give them land and then take it back, pollute and rob ......I still can't believe the pipeline scenario.
