It's a moot point anyway, to do what Trump is suggesting would violate the First Amendment most likely anyway.

I also answered "No" to the poll, as an American I'm better than that, but I guess to the uneducated or ignorant it's easier to hate an entire group of people versus understanding the intricacies of the problem.
1 if they were all in a state saying come here, they'd be killing democrats because only Democrat leaning states have said OK.
2 constitutional rights apply to US citizens, not foreign citizens in other countries who are trying to come here.
3 I don't hate an entire group unless Islamic radicals count. And since there is no way to separate them out, or vette those trying to come here, there's no reason to let them come. There's plenty of others patiently waiting in line from any number of friendly countries. Why do I all of a sudden need to give a risky group preferential or even equal treatment? When did taking the high road overtake common sense?
