I went to a Syrian wedding in September and it sucked. No one blew anything up. Total disappointment.

So everyone from Syria is a Muslim?
How about we start caring for our 50,000 homeless veterans who actually helped this country? Oh I forgot, we don't have the money for that. I could give 2 shits about refugees until we take care of our own first....
I realize what the rations are I also realize Daeshis killing syrians, I realize that the Paris attackers held European not syrian passports.I try to get out....
I know you guys hate this fact stuff...but the CIA Factbook says Syria is 87% Muslim, so the assertion that most Syrians are Muslim is accurate. (Without getting into ISIS' killing and persecution of Christians.)
And it is 90% Arab as well. So...
I realize what the rations are I also realize Daeshis killing syrians, I realize that the Paris attackers held European not syrian passports.
And everyone living in LA named Juan has a drivers license that says California.... Does that mean they are all legal citizens?
Great point!
It was just as good as your point that the paperwork that some of the terrorists had show the European address instead of a Middle Eastern one

While I didn't make that point, it is actually a relevant one, unlike yours. And it doesn't have to do with what their paperwork lists as an address, but I suppose that characterization helps you try and justify your awful point.It was just as good as your point that the paperwork that some of the terrorists had show the European address instead of a Middle Eastern one
I guess being born in the US, I never considered myself and immigrant.

I wonder how ISIS would feel about engaging here if they were informed that the armed U.S. population is now coating their bullets in pig fat, one by one, just for them. No heaven or virgins if they take one with pig fat. I wonder how many rounds can be coated with one ham? I think I'll experiment.
Where I come from, we call that a user training issue.
Do more than just dip... Reload with the pig bits embedded in the bullet somehow... Not quite sure how since the hot lead is also going to cook the pig bit... But I think it could work?
Bullets lubed with bacon grease.
One might also wonder about the terminal ballistics effects of hollow-point bullets with the hollow-point packed with pig lard.
Sooooooooooo we shouldn't allow these people to migrate to America because there *might* be a few bad apples?
Yeah I'll take my chances. My odds of being hit by a train or shot by a cop are higher than dying in a terrorist attack.
Not even close to being an applicable analogy. One means instant death, one does not.
That's the number I've seen reported by both sides as the average for the Muslim population.
Why import ANY of them here - even notwithstanding whether ANY of them are terrorists or not?
Some of you guys need to get busy and go start studying 4th generation warfare - and what happens when first world armies fight guerilla armies on their own home territory.
Why is cutting it off (immigration) - such a shitty option?
Maybe people ought to start looking at the ACTUAL problems - instead of constantly trying to ignore them and make them worse.
I did not advocate invading with troops as we did in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. I said the point of dropping a bomb is to kill people, which in the context of a war, is a desirable outcome. (to kill the enemy)
I make no claim nor have any intention of being / becoming an expert on warfare technology. My opinions are my own and based on extensive reading of Tom Clancy novels.
Bombing doesn't accomplish shit.
It didn't end the war in WW2. It didn't end the Korean War. It didn't end Vietnam - and it hasn't stopped anything in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The only thing that really stops a war - is bringing in troops - and fighting it out in the dirt. Which we have been failing at.
I CONSTANTLY hear people say " let's drop some bombs " - seriously , do you guys have Alzheimers? It's not like this is some military lesson from the distant past that people can poo-poo and ignore. It JUST HAPPENED - and it DIDN'T WORK.
Different kinds of bombing.
If you leveled Muslim countries like we leveled a lot of Japan, gave a warning about attacking or supporting attackers again and we'll be back, AND THEN JUST LEFT, shit *might* change.
Now maybe some of you guys will clue in that this whole "war on terror" - is nothing but a bullshit excuse...............
But I doubt it.
Hey, I'm for deporting immigrants here legally not contributing and those hereillegally. But that's a separate discussion than what was being addressed. Those problems get sorted out mainly by simply dismantling the entire welfare system. That's not going to happen without civil war or collapse.
ISIS and terrorist crap aside.
After seeing what's happing in Germany and Sweden.
Anyone who's in favor of just opening the gates want to open their door and get some diversification going in YOUR neighborhood?
I'm sure if you contact Oblammy and company and offer to put a few of them up , they'll take you up on it.
It's a great opportunity show the wife and kiddies how being PC has it's benefits.

“It is time that we have an open, honest dialogue about the politics of Sharia law. It is time that we face the reality that, while Islam is a faith that must be granted the same freedoms of religion as all others, Sharia is a political ideology that cannot coexist with the constitutional and basic human rights on which the United States is founded.
We must face the fact that ISIS is a murderous, violent movement driven by Sharia ideology, not by the religion of Islam. We need not and should not be Islamophobic, but all who are free and wish to be free should be Shariaphobic. In its determination to impose a “law” upon us and to kill, maim and terrorize in the process — as seen most recently in Paris, ISIS must be stopped.
I opposed the Iraq War. I supported going after Al Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11, but opposed — and continue to oppose — our failed attempt at Afghan nation building. And I opposed our involvement in overthrowing the government in Libya.
The list goes on and on. Our ill-advised attempts to shape the outcomes of civil wars and replace bad guys with slightly less bad guys have not only failed, but have created vacuums that are today being filled by the politics of Sharia.
The cost of those interventions has been tremendous, with too many of our young men and women of the military killed and wounded…and trillions of dollars spent ineffectively.
Libertarians believe freedom and opportunity require limited government. Government costs too much because it does too much — and a government that does too much erodes liberty. But one responsibility of government is clear: To protect us from those who would do us harm and who would take away our fundamental freedoms. We believe liberty is the true American value, and that our government has a solemn obligation to preserve it.

So far you've managed to answer dozens of posts telling one person or all they are all wet and don't know what they're talking about while never actually saying what your idea is.
So what is your plan?
How do we defeat ISIS and their ilk?
Most of us here are immigrants unless you are Native American.

You can read the rest of what he said in the link provided. One of the more intelligent things I've seen from a politician on the subject.
I am tired of all of the references to the Japanese internment camps. Compared to other countries at the same time period we were the best for taking care of the Japanese. Most other countries at the time we're flat out deporting or killing those from opponent nations. Didn't make it right but it makes it understandable.

And your point is what exactly? We should just keep letting immigrants in ad infinitum just because most of the people here descended from immigrants?

Now that's what I've been saying ! Both ends of thier bodies too !When the big wave of people came in from the late 1800's thru the early part of the 20th century - there was no much welfare to speak of.
But the country still reached a point where it said "enough" - and stopped it.
Welfare is not the only component here. Immigrants may bring some good things - but they bring a lot of bad things too.
Socialism/Marxism are BAD things IMHO - they came here in the heads of German immigrants. Socialism/Marxism is not a home grown political philosophy or religion.
Neither is Islam.
I've been hearing my whole life how overpopulation is such a bad thing. We are berated daily over our CO2 production, how much pollution our cars produce, how we're destroying the planet by taking up all the space, - etc. The government has what probably amounts to tens of thousands of pages of laws regulating emissions and how you can use your own land, and housing requirements - etc. The pages of NES are chock full of threads about global warming. And the globam warming crowd typically points to the US as a major user of energy as one of the main culprits.
Now if all of these are true - what is the sense in importing ANYBODY into this country? Any import coming here is immediately going to leave a higher carbon footprint than if they stayed where they were. Immigrants typically reproduce faster than the natives - especially the white ones. So you're looking at multiplier there for carbon usage and pollution whenever you admit an immigrant.
Again WHY? What is the point?
This is yet another reason why I think the left is completely full of shit. I get beaten about the head daily from lefties telling me I'm a bad person for not wanting to let in Syrian immigrants and all sorts of other immigrants - or illegal aliens - and once they finish with that , they start in on their rants about we're all going to die because of global warming. They're talking out of both sides of their mouths - and all I smell coming out is shit.
No, should we deport the all then?
This is why I brought up the Japanese espionage/sabotage ring. It was a KNOWN thing. People seem to want to talk about the Japanese internment like it was just purely some racist thing with absolutely no reasoning behind it. You could argue that the presence of the espionage ring was as much bullshit back then - as some of the crap the government feeds us these days, but the truth is that people at least THOUGHT that it existed.
Like I said - I've seen a newspaper from 1935 or 36 (can't remember now) - and there was the story , buried a few pages back from the front - about a known Japanese spy ring.
This is what people were reading in the paper - YEARS before the Pearl Harbor attack ever came.
The US has less ground to stand on [than Europe to deny immigrants] considering our country is what it is today (whether that is a good thing or not, is up for debate) because of immigrants. Of course Ellis Island has been closed for quite some time now, and things have certainly changed.
To be clear, I'm making no argument in either direction. I'm simply saying a country founded by immigrants and made up of immigrants deciding to stop accepting immigrants is a significant change in philosophy. It is much the same but in inverse of what countries like Sweden, Germany, England, France and others in Europe are doing.
If I was to make an argument, I'd say the cultural changes taking place in Europe because of immigration is probably correlated to the increase of crime, and the fact the US is made up of so many different cultures that it is probably a reason why the US traditionally has more violent crime...different cultures clash. But that doesn't sit well with people who champion multiculturalism who also tend to place the blame on gun owners...
Stop supporting them - and stop letting them in to this country to begin with.

Where the hell is the embargo of the Mideast?

Apples and watermelons.Remember if you can justify locking up an entire race because of a few the left should be able to lock up all gun owners due to the few bad ones
Yes, they should, sorry but if they are not here legally, they need to go back and start over. I personally have helped/sponsored 11 of newly naturalized citizens over the past 10 years from Guatemala, Mexico, Ireland and Brazil so don't give the racist BS stuff, everyone likes to throw around. I gave them all jobs, paid for their lawyers helped them get housing and English lessons and help them assimilate to our culture. They still maintain their ties to their heritage, but they are Americans now and are proud and happy to be called that. I think we are better with immigration, but it needs to be legal and controlled and the people coming in need to be able to support themselves, if they can't we are doing a disservice to them and to us.

The noble truth that we are a country of immigrants , while true is only useful for the people who think modern immigration policies, or for the matter any immigration is in our countries intrest. While a net negitive increase or stable growth in population might or might not be bad for buisness, I'm thinking we are on the wrong road and immigration only helps the Democrats.
I'm not going through all of this but <.04% of the 750,000 refugees have been charged with terrorism and if we include the tsarnaev brothers are included the number still doesn't go up, punishing everyone for the actions of the few is not libertyAnd that bunch of people I have exactly zero problem with them immigrating here.
They work, they've become Americans and they came for the right reasons.
The group in question here? Not so much. They won't work, they won't become Americans, in fact, they insist on us becoming them. Or they intend to kill us. Their words, not mine.
Last time I checked, 50+% of gun owners haven't threatened to kill the left if they don't become gun owners. And, I don't advocate locking them up, just sending them back to where they came from.
Very flawed argument you made, and you know it.
What's next? Flies cause garbage? Rosie O'Donnell's spoon made her fat?
Or, so they think. If you have a decent understanding of they these immigrants really want (and they have told us just that), then any person with any sense should know that we really don't want them here. Unless the plan for bringing in them is either the collapse of the US as we know it, or to kill Americans. Both are badm, so take your pick.
