it’s not that simple. You do realize falling birth rates are a world wide problem?

Because it’s a complex issue.

their children may be though because that’s what the Quran teaches.
Why do you presume the second generation to be more fanatical when the trend is to be less so and generally less religious overall in freer countries that are more liberal?

Nope. It applies to citizens in this country not to how we view immigrants.
It applied to the laws that the government can make, regardless of their target.

Actually our laws which apply to immigration really are legitimately applied to immigration. We don't discriminate.

It's a bit flawed, but it has to be there.... You have to look at the situation differently from a legal perspective, or simply work on changing some of our immigration laws in a positive manner.

But you can't do any of the above without a full understanding of the situation, so moral or ethical issues are discussed first.

Then you move onto how can we positively change laws or simply our vetting process in a way that still protect Americans without discrimination...

It's the way our laws are here in America. Liberals can have positive input on things when they understand the issues, same as us.

Show me the evidence. I don’t believe you.

If Islam was a "religion" they would make perfect neighbors. The fact of the matter is, you can't separate political Islam from the "pray to whatever God you want" portion of Islam.

Christians under the New Covenant believe God himself gave mankind a certain amount of liberty. We either use our liberty in the manner God requires, or we use that same liberty to reap burning coals on our heads.

Islam is a worldview and very political system that stands diametrically opposed to our own. I can see being neighborly with a Muslim majority nation... But you can't have two completely opposing systems operating in the same nation.
Do you really think that Wahhabis and Sufis have the same worldview?

Nope.

I mentioned in one of my posts that there are sects associated with Islam that don't have or use the same holy books who would be perfectly fine for immigration and citizenship...

It's really a matter of looking more closely at who is more culturally compatible with our society at large.

We are just a far too liberal society not to be protecting that...

That says congress. Does congress run immigration?

That's not Congress, that's our Constitution... All social law flows from the constitution. You really want to make sure that is upheld. It's important.

Yes, who were you thinking made laws about immigration when that’s part of federal powers?
