Trump Calls For Moratorium on Muslim Immigrants

[Esquilax]

The bile coming from you is exactly what you accuse me of: racism. You simply want more of your own kind in America. That's racism. You don't like America as it is. You pour vicious bile on those who wish to preserve America as it is.

So, take your righteous double standards and stick them up your abaris. Immigration is, at heart, a matter of identity. Yours against mine. There is no right and wrong. Everyone backs their tribe. Some of us are just more honest about it than others. We don't hide our tribalism behind righteous slogans and smear campaigns.

By and large, I've noticed that the only people with any particular interest in "backing their tribe," are those on your side, desperate to maintain racial purity while bandying about accusations of racism as a means to silence dissent. Those of us who are for immigration couldn't really care less, because it's not about racial identity to us, it's about not being blinded by unfounded xenophobia. I am, before you start lobbing assumptions about my demographic at me, a white male, originally from a country with a high immigrant population, and from an area where that was even more true. Despite this, we still have a strong sense of our cultural identity, and frankly, so do the immigrants, if we let them, isn't that amazing? If you let a person feel welcome in your country and allow them to partake in the pleasures of being there, most of the time they'll happily join you in celebrating that culture! It's almost as if the way you treat people as a country informs how they view that country!

So yes, you can find a lot of stores in my country with foreign sounding names, and I grew up going to school with muslim kids, and Chinese kids, and Indian kids, but it didn't matter because they were accepted and were hence just people. Immigrants aren't some evil horde out to take over your country, they're mostly just people looking for a place to live. You'd see that if you could relinquish your unfounded, paranoid fear for a moment.

And if Muslims are causing so much havoc at 2-5%, why on earth would we want more of them?

Yet the majority of mass shooters are white, at 79%, and male, at 90%. If you want to talk about what's causing the most havoc, there's something you should be thinking about too: deport all the white males!

But this was never about a sensible position, was it? You don't know how much "havoc," muslims are causing, you just assume that it must be lots because of ISIS. Every muslim is ISIS, right?

Immigration policy is, and always will be, irreconcilable and identity driven. There is no debate. Never has been. Never will be. There is just tribalism. End of story.

I love how unreasonable this is. "I'm right, end of story, bahhh!" What are you, my fucking dad?
