#1 ban muslim immigration

do it, Trump

think of it like Russia was sending millions of young people to the US in 1950 in the hopes of making the US, Europe and UK into communist states

and setting up communist meeting halls where they all go up to 5 times per day to congregate and share indoctrination

You would have banned Communist migration then, wouldn't you

same thing different century

#2 a proven history of terrorism against the United States, Europe or our allies

A nice distinction. Not "USA and it's allies". Not "USA and Europe or their allies".

#3 This has happened in the past multiple times. Carter banned immigration from Iran after they took hostages.

Chances of seeing this type of reporting in the news: 0%

#4 Sounds like he's had to smarten up just a little bit. He's no longer saying he won't let muslims into the country because that'd be unAmerican and, so I've heard, unConstitutional. (I'm not really sure about that. I don't think the Constitution guarantees any rights at all to citizens of other countries who want to immigrate to this country.) Now he's singling out nations with a proven history of terrorism. Soddy Arabia must certainly be one of those countries.

#5 Carter banned immigration from Iran after they took hostages.

I was at university then. Immigration may have been banned, but Iranians studying in the U.S. were allowed to stay and settle. My university arranged for its Iranian students to get a mixture of jobs and grants so they could afford to stay, and supported visa and green card applications so they could stay legally.

#6 #5 - I was as well, but those were mostly Pro-Shah upper middle class, not Islamists

#7 Agreed, Frank G. Not everyone chose to stay here, and some of those who left no doubt subsequently regretted it.

#9 Well, it would annoy quite a few Northeastern Democratic politicians.
