However, in the mean time, I think the other extreme is to let them all in and just deal with the consequences like Hillary wanted. Reportedly, she wanted to bring 500K a year in, multiplying by tenfold what Obama did. I think that is just silly. Thank God Trump put a stop to that. The Europeans have done that and they are reaping the whirlwind. I agree we need to continue to be a tolerant country and don't paint all Muslims with the evil brush. But we shouldn't and don't have to let all Muslims into this country. We are unique in that we have a defensible land mass with oceans on either side of us, peaceful Canadians to the North, and relatively peaceful Mexicans (except for drug wars) to the South. We can and should defend our borders and screen who comes in. We do NOT need to be so soft hearted as to let masses of Muslims into our country. What we need to do is simply put a pause on Muslim immigration for a long while, even as we disengage as much as possible from the Middle East. There is no reason any more, since we don't need their oil, for us to be over there like a bull in a china shop destroying everything and then wondering why they hate us. It's far better for us to just leave, mind our own business, and restrict entry into our country to Muslims until they evolve. Let the Europeans figure out a way to assimilate, modernize, and evolve the Muslims. We do not need to be the defender of the world and all it's people. The fact is that we simply cannot afford it anymore, with our $20 trillion in debt and massive political and economic problems at home. It's way past time we stop focusing on other countries and people with all their issues and start focusing on the very real and intractable problems we have right here at home, including a 99% that is in massive distress and a middle class that has been obliterated, not to mention a health care system that works for no one but the 1%, an education system that is guaranteed to leave behind many millions of children, and a Federal Reserve that can't get it's head out of its ass as it blatantly destroys price discovery and capitalism with ZIRP, QE, and endless liquidity and money printing. We have a lot of things to fix right here at home. We don't need to import a bunch of angry Muslims from the Middle East to compound our problems. Leave them there and let them immigrate into Europe, where the bleeding hearts have more sympathy than common sense.
