Trump plans to bar immigrants with anti-Semitic beliefs

On Monday, Trump introduced his plan for new screening procedures for incoming immigrants, including a temporary ban on immigration from high-risk countries and an ideological test to asses foreigners’ devotion to American principles.

Most notable was Trump’s plan to conduct “extreme vetting” of those who would immigrate to or visit this country.

Trump’s popular proposal caused shock among progressives. Joel Mathis and Ben Boychuk, the RedBlueAmerica columnists, debate the issue.

Immigrants also supported Trump’s call to end “nation-building” more than the general electorate.

Everybody – yes, even us spineless liberal Democrats – wants to filter out terrorists and their sympathizers.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is “playing into the hands” of the Islamic State group by wrongly implying there is a clash between the West and mainstream Muslims, London’s Muslim mayor said.

In addition, the Muslim community in the US used Trump’s comments to stress the importance of the November general election.

The hypocrisy is abundant. ‘Oh, you can’t use the word Muslim, ‘ remember this? Among recent immigrants, half said they opposed it.

It’s understood that Assad’s brutality was one of the main reasons foreign fighters came to battle against the regime, some of them joining up with terrorists in a hodgepodge of groups fighting against Assad. “Then the question becomes how much time and how intensely is someone going to be scrutinized – what is that going to do to the overall immigration system in the United States?”

Trump’s aides described the new language as a replacement for the religious test, but Trump has described it differently. He said only those who accept a “tolerant” view of American society would be admitted to the United States.

The National Visa Center then begins to process the application – which can take up to three weeks – before handing off documentation to the appropriate United States embassy or consulate overseas. But to say we won’t issue a visa to anyone who doesn’t embrace the American way of life?

“The burden of proof is always on the foreign national to prove they’re eligible”, said Ruth Wasem, author of the report and professor of public policy at Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin.

But the problem is that these oppressive regimes are polar opposites to US ideals of freedom, liberty and democracy, Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, told Borderless News Online.

“The president has a lot of power over immigration policy”, McKenna said. Cultural assimilation was essential.

Washington wanted to assure the Jews that they were as free and equal as any other citizens would be, even though they were a minority. It’s a small condition – one that should go without saying – but a condition nevertheless.
