*spits up coffee* WTF? You are a living human being and you think the Dow (the Dow Jones Industrial Average, right?) supports your point? The number that reached its all-time high this year? The number that is a horrible way to measure the economy? The number that should probably not even exist...

It doesn't take an Obama fan to notice that when Obama took office the country was in the middle of a financial meltdown. Remember when everyone was screaming bloody murder about that? I don't see that happening right now. If you don't see that the economy is in better shape now than in...

And Donald is going to stop us from getting pushed around? Ha ha ha. The guy can't find his own ass. And his new national security advisor nominee, Harward, to replace the one that just resigned? He turned it down, saying the offer was a shit sandwich. Yeah, Trump's gonna do great.

But ignorance affects people's lives. Real people. Imagine your best friend. Really stop and think about them. Now, imagine that they are here on a visa. They got the visa a year ago. They came here to go to college. They could have gone somewhere else. When they came here, they had no worries...

Seems like the USA should strive to be better than a terrorist.

Maybe they had to study and take some classes to get licensed here? Maybe those things cost money? Dunno, just guessing here.

Love the sarcasm!  ;)

I don't think Trump is going to make it through his 4-year term. There are a handful of ways for a President to stop being a President. His odds for each of them are higher than any President I have memory of. Impeachment, death, resignation, being found unfit. I don't know which one it will be.

WE ALREADY VET the people coming from these 7 countries and from ALL countries. And those procedures were revised by a law that was passed by the Repub Congress and signed by the Dem President in December 2015. What more do you think needs to be done? How will you know when enough has been done?

I agree that it is hard to know what to do with Russia. Both GWB and BHO came into office saying they were going to improve relations with Russia. They both left office having met with hostility and frustration trying to do it. Maybe DJT will do it by giving Russia whatever it wants.

Yes, and if we completely stopped ALL immigration from ALL countries, we would stop even more attacks by immigrants. And if we stopped letting in refugees, then they could be slaughtered in their own countries. And if we got rid of the free press, then we wouldn't even have to hear about it. And...

Yeah, heaven forbid if the government were to actually govern and fix something. Instead of moving from version 1.0 to 2.0 of ACA, we will move to version 1.0 of something else. That something else will also need to be fixed once it gets out into the wild.

As far as I can tell, you still haven't said how you think this all applies to refugees. Should we allow none in? So you believe in a God. If it is the God of the Bible I am familiar with, have you read the parable of the good Samaritan? How about Matthew 25:40-45 - the "Whatever you did not do...

Thank you for being clear! Would you mind sharing why this issue is as important to you as it is?

Well, I was younger than I am now. I was 34 then. Was I young? We've lost more American lives fighting terrorism than we have due to terrorism. And then there are the thousands and thousands more of non-American lives that have been lost. I do not think we should not consider terrorism. I just...
