Congress to Consider Easing Passage into U.S. for Immigrants

Utterly astounding....
Instead of putting a hold on Islamic Immigration that might be a threat to National Security and it's people, so as to evaluate the admission system to fix it's problems and see how it can be improved to greatly reduce the chance of fanatics entering who want to change our culture and destroy us, liberals do the exact opposite. It's like they are intentionally trying to destroy America, and fundamentally change it, as conservatives have always said.... (no that can't be according to liberals, even though Obama directly said it, though didn't directly say how, the how is in other words and evidences, fruits).

Congress is set to vote on Thursday on what some have called an “unprecedented” right that would allow immigrants easier access to relocate to the United States, according to new legislation offered by a Democratic senator.

You are still an idiot. There is no pause clause in the US Constitution. Singling out Muslim refugees is not only unconstitutional it plays right into the hands of ISIS. ISIS wants the US to reject Muslim applicants for immigration. It shows we hate Muslims. It is idiots like Conservative Republican Representative Steve King claimed on national TV that elected Representatives like Representative Keith Ellis is a disloyal to the US simply because his is a Muslim American. I guess the Constitution prohibition on having any religious test for any political office or office of trust in the US doesn't apply if you are a Conservative.

Here is what America would look like without immigration.

This is a "sense of the Senate" resolution, which has absolutely no legal or binding effect. It states:

It is the sense of the Senate that the United States must not bar individuals from entering into the United States based on their religion, as such action would be contrary to the fundamental principles on which this Nation was founded.


When the article says "what some have called" the "some" refers to hysteria mongers that misleadingly describe the resolution. Unless someone can show that we currently discriminate against immigrants based on their religion, the claim that this makes it easier for anyone to immigrate is false.

Just one example this time.

Maybe those good Christian Senators just want to protect other good Christians in this country from the Jewish (mmm Muslim) Menace. :evil:

It's funny, but it's sad. I guess that also might be an apt description of the current climate, funny but sad.


I live in a city with about half a million Muslims. Just like any other groups I've found some are good, some aren't. In this same city we have a large population of Haredi Jews. Same rules apply.

We've had a large problem with one of these groups seeking to impose their religious standards on our public streets. They want women covered up when walking in 'their neighborhoods', they don't want women to sit next to men on public transport buses, they fight against bike lanes on city streets because cyclists dress immodestly, they want stores in tbeir neighborhoods closed on their holy days, they've had numerous community members arrested for violence in trying to enforce these religious laws, etc. Guess which group it is?

I haven't heard any outrage from political talking heads about Halacha being imposed on America. But they never stop talking about Sharia. The difference in how each group is viewed is something I find interesting.

For the record, I don't want either group to be banned from the US. We've lived together here for years. It all seems to work fairly well.
