Trump - Ban all Muslims

[d000hg]

I have a friend. Born in India with Indian parents. He is totally against immigration.

In general, to India or the US?

Why does the fact he's Indian matter?

To the UK.

What is important is that he is a immigrant. Yet wants to ban immigration. He feels the numbers are just too large.

He has kids and does not want their quality of life diluted.

Sounds like a typical selfish middle-Englander. Clearly proof integration does work.

This is a different issue though, Trump want's to ban on the basis of ones religion, so it's not racist just a bit reactionary.

I like the Trump, i hope he wins

If you look at the welfare costs in the US, and how they are weighted with regards to immigrants & non-immigrants (not sure right now how many generations is significant), then you can clearly see it's not really honest to compare new immigrants with the whole of the non-native population.

Maybe not - although perhaps going back generations it was always the case that the "new" immigrants could be viewed the same way and yet ended up being integrated and vital to the nation.

The wider point is that the US is founded on the basis of immigration and has always done quite well as a melting pot of cultures and nationalities. This is one of the things which has led to its success.

Perhaps he is just saying that US immigration policy needs to be more selective in light of recent events -allbeit in inflammatory language

Recent events: over 10,000 people per year are killed in homicides in the US. Of the 10,000 this year...


9,986 were "Lone madman, bad person, can't legislate against them having guns..."
14 were "terrorist because they are Muslim therefore ban all Muslims"

So all white males below 30 should be banned (see various shootings in the US)? Your arguments are crumbling.
