#3 When I checked into a Hilton Garden Inn a couple of weeks ago, I had to show my driver's license and a credit card. Question: should it be easier to get into the United States than to get into a Hilton Garden Inn?

#5 New York's attorney general is calling on the Obama administration to eliminate what he calls an "unconstitutional religious registry" that targets Muslims.

It's not going to happen. If Schneiderman has a beef about a so-called registry, and giving Trump all the keys to the Presidency, wouldn't the proper way to do this to be through legislation or to go through the courts?

Schneiderman is conjuring up inflammatory images by citing "the dark days of Japanese internment." BTW, it was FDR, a Dem, who put into place this program. Schneiderman is another Dem obstructionist trying to throw monkey wrenches into the machinery.

So, we have a current POTUS who wants to open the floodgates to immigrants from countries hostile to the U.S. Likely, many of these immigrants would be jihadists intent on doing us harm. They would take advantage of our freedoms to this harm.

How can one claim refugee status? The Departmetn of State outline who can claim refugee status: How do you decide who gets in to the United States under this program and who doesn't?
The Department of Homeland Security has the authority to make this decision. Under U.S. law, a refugee must have a well-founded fear of persecution based on one of the five “protected grounds”:
·          Religion
·          Political opinion
·          Race
·          Nationality
·         Membership in a particular social group

If one must let people in from this part of the world, why not let in Christians. They fit the above criteria?
