For my best birthday gift this week, Donald Trump called for blocking Muslim immigration to the United States. If he throws in all immigration, it will be my merriest Christmas ever. By contrast, the eunuchs running against Trump went mental.
Marco Rubio called Trumps proposed moratorium on Muslim immigration offensive and outlandish.
Rubios idea for stopping Muslim terrorist attacks on U.S. soil is something simple: Launch several wars to clean up the entire Middle East.
Chris Christie called Trumps plan ridiculous, saying, This is the kind of thing that people say when they have no experience and dont know what theyre talking about.
People with experience say things like: Walls dont work and are too expensive.
Ted Cruz said he disagreed with Trump and instead would focus on radical Islamic terrorism. Cruz will have a lot more radicals to focus on if we keep importing a quarter million Muslims every year.
And these were Republicans. MSNBC acted as if the nation had come under terrorist attack (by a Muslim immigrant) with its round-the-clock, breaking- news coverage of Trumps proposal, rife with images of dangerous demagogues from George Wallace to Hitler.
People without real arguments call anything they dont like racist or unconstitutional.
Trumps proposal is neitherI wont waste space mentioning 100 years of constitutional law and practice, but of course our country has absolute authority to decide who gets to immigrate here.
In the 14 years since Muslims killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11, this country has admitted another 1.5 million Muslims. So were xenophobic, bigoted racists if we dont make it 2 million? Three million? When will we have enough? How many murdered Americans is an acceptable number before we can shut off the spigot of Muslim immigration?
The amazing thing is that no one (except the American people) wants any pause in Muslim immigrationeven after more than a dozen Muslim terrorist attacks on our soil in the last 15 years.
House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he will refuse to consider cuts to Muslim immigration, saying, Thats not who we are.
Republicans are totally copacetic with Pews recent finding that white Christians are now a minority in America, but furious with Trump for suggesting we take a break from importing Muslims.
Can we move them to Ryans district? According to Pew, only 11 percent of Muslims are Republican or lean Republican. They may not make the best Americansas Ryan claimsbut at least theyd get rid of him.
The hysterical demand for never-ending Third World immigration has gone beyond the richs need for cheap servants and the Democrats need for voters. Its a mass psychosis.
Everyone acts as if Pakistani pushcart operators are the same as American blacks, and were required to bring them here to make up for the legacy of slavery.
Foreigners arent the descendants of American slaves! The rest of the world does not have a civil right to move here. Were under no moral imperative to allow any immigration at all. We dont owe citizens of other countries anything.
But as long as you brought it up: They owe us. America runs around saving other countries from tsunamis, earthquakes, pirates, disease, starvation, warlords, dictators, Nazis, communiststhen their citizens show up full of grievances, as if we owe them.
Angry Muslims have been popping up all over TV to denounce Trump and complain about anti-Muslim bigotry in the U.S. If theyd prefer a country with a larger Muslim population and no white devil oppressors, low-rent mud huts are available in any of about 50 Muslim countries around the world. First month free; after that, two goats a month.
In addition to the thoughtful policy objection that Trump is a racist, weve been treated to an endless stream of stunningly stupid arguments against Trumps proposal.
Fox News Dana Perino complained that Trumps policy doesnt distinguish the peaceful from the radicals.
Yeah, nor can our government.
Given the devastation caused by only two Muslims in San Bernardino, eight Muslims in Paris, two at the Boston Marathon, one at a Chattanooga military recruitment center, one at Fort Hood, 19 on 9/11, etc. etc.its really irrelevant whether most Muslim immigrants are peaceful little lambs. It doesnt take a lot of them to create havoc.
I dont know why we need any.
While its fantastic news that most Muslim immigrants arent terrorists, as Samuel Johnson said, A horse who can count to 10 is a remarkable horse, not a remarkable mathematician.
We want remarkable Americans, not immigrants whose selling point is: hasnt blown anything up yet. Whats the upside of admitting 250,000 poor, culturally backward, non-English-speaking Muslims every year? When are we allowed to talk about whats good for America?
San Bernardino shooter Syed Farooks mother described his fatherthe original immigrantthis way: My husband is mentally ill and is on medication but is also an alcoholic and drinks with the medicine.
Fantastic. So glad we got him. The father, who has been here since 1973 thanks, Teddy Kennedy!told an Italian newspaper that he preached moderation to his son, saying its not worth fighting Israel, because Russia, China and the U.S. dont want Jews there any more. In two years, he assured his son, Israel will not exist any more.
So after four decades in American culture, these highly integrated, model immigrants are still clinging to their insane magic potion fantasies.
The senior Farouk didnt come here to work in some highly complex technical field, like nuclear physics or cell extraction biology. Hes a truck driver. So one American lost his job as a truck driver and 14 Americans lost their lives because of Ted Kennedys 1965 immigration act.
How else have the 1.5 million Muslims admitted since 9/11 made our country better? Their massive welfare use? Overburdening our schools and hospitals? The machete attacks? The clitorectomies? The honor killings? The occasional terrorist attack?
Currently, there are more than a thousand active investigations of ISIS in all 50 states. Heres an idea: Instead of paying for an ever-expanding federal workforce to track, wiretap and investigate immigrants with possible terrorist sympathies, lets stop bringing them in!
Beginning to sense the publics fury, a number of Republican politicians have been trying to talk tough on immigration. This week, Trump proved that thats all it is: talk.
