Did you ever think that the cream of the ME crop just might be able to help our country as immigrants typically have? Yeah, the son of a Syrian Muslim immigrant to the USA comes to mind.

Now that is a very interesting, but contradictory post. You admit that the Muslims are a problem. You also admit that Europe is being ruined by the Muslims. So my question is a simple one. Why would we want to bring the Muslim problem here to the US to ruin our country when we have so many unresolved problems of our own? I'll tell you why we should not. We have to fix a ton of problems with our own people, including figuring out how to give blacks and hispanics more opportunity. That is a far better use of our focus and energy, since they are already here and deserving of our attention. The US if way to distracted by things overseas and far less focused on the problems in our own backyard. Are we better equipped to deal with immigration both culturally and resource-wise? Yes, we agree on that. But should we? No, not right now. Not until we get this country back on its feet politically, economically, and culturally. We're in real trouble right now. We don't need to import more trouble. BTW, I'm the son of an immigrant from a socialist country that went bad and have black, hispanic, and Irish blood. Makes for a crazy and interesting mix. But it also gives me a unique perspective. I can empathize with a whole range of people and issues, because of it. Americans are starting to fail at what they used to be good at, because they are unfocused and overstretched. Time to get back to basics and shore up the homeland. Strength comes from within, not from subjugating others on the outside
