Do you think it's possible that if we import tens of thousands in a short period of time from areas where jihadists breed that simply on a statistical basis the number of attacks could go up?
Instead the death toll has been quite similar to other forms of political—and even non-political—violence Americans face today.
It's amazing that such a small number of people could cause similar numbers of deaths as occurs in a larger pool of Americans. Again, if we increase the numbers of people that breed this "similar" numbers of deaths, do you think that it's likely or possible for those numbers to rise.
I'm more likely to slip on ice today and kill myself than be killed by a terrorist attack,
Are you more likely to slip on ice and kill yourself than to be killed by your neighbor? How about if you're neighborhood was comprised of a bunch of immigrants from Somalia?
to put such a black eye on the American Brand by rolling out this typical Trump shoot first and think about it later policy is just stupid. Why not get your cabinet in place first? Why not get yourself educated by sitting down with the people that have an intimate knowledge of the real world first?
It was always the American brand, at least until lately, to take precautions against negative foreign influence. The notion of allowing a constant flow of immigrants from different cultures before the assimilation of smaller numbers takes place is rather new.
That "knowledge of the real world" thing is intriguing. Our experts seem to have been getting that wrong for some time now.
I think all he has accomplished is to put people on the streets
Those people put themselves on the streets. They have been doing that a lot lately, well before Trump. Haven't you noticed? And this latest batch, it was revealed, had this planned and ready to spring when Trump did something they could claim was the reason for it.
Hey, it's become part of the American brand to hit the streets in protest over something or other. Trump didn't accomplish that. Various radicals, not all but mostly, from the left have used that tactic for a long, long time in this country and elsewhere.
and maybe that's his twisted plan,
Oh wait . . . so he has a plan, not "Trump shoot first and think about it later policy"?
he's given the not jobs the best recruiting propaganda they could have ever dreamed of
OMG that recruiting propaganda stuff. So anytime you do or say something to protect this country it becomes recruiting propaganda. How come countries like Germany, France, Sweden, et al, who open their borders, act nice, say nice things and provide a good life for immigrants from the Middle East wind up having as much or more terrorist violence than us?
So are we to believe that we were on the verge of abating the successful recruitment terrorists have accomplished before Trump did or said anything, but now recruitment will go up because of Trump. It just seems that some dots are not being connected in solving the recruitment thing. I'm reminded of the conversation I had long ago with a co-worker who said that you shouldn't resist a mugger because you would provoke him to kill you.
and it's the home grown waiting in the wings nuts that they recruit that I'd be more afraid of;
You mean like the home grown BlackLivesMatter folks that are recruited by anti-white presidential rhetoric, or rioters recruited by leftist academic and political rhetoric against conservative speakers, and that sort of stuff? I guess you're more worried about white "supremacists." Yeah, that's been breaking out all over--haven't you noticed all their riots. Or maybe you're worried about the home grown Muslims who'll be recruited to jihad. Hmmm . . . wouldn't that be even more likely if we import more of them, but still try to defeat ISIS and insist that those here assimilate, intermix with the rest of society, freely marry non-Muslims, become American first, support the Constitution over Shariah, and denounce how the people live in those places from which they came?
That "recruitment" stuff is tricky.
not someone coming in from any of those 7 countries with green card or visa.
Jeez . . . I thought the green card and visa thing was cleared up.
I guess if they had a Trump golf course and casino, they could have gotten the pass that Saudi did.
His kissing up to and bolstering Putin......OMG don't even get me started on that one.
