That is largely theoretical. People get passed through all the time, when they even bother with that stuff, as tens of millions of people currently in the country are not.
Where do you think those citizens come from in the first place?
We won't have one if we keep this up, that's the point. You want to help someone, go help someone. But indulging your personal sanctimony at the public expense, or forcing people to tolerate dangers they do not wish to subject themselves to is not your prerogative. The same arguments you guys use against pollution apply to immigration.

An attitude does not become bad or wrong because you add the suffix "-phobic" to a descriptor. Leaving everything else aside, third world people bloc vote Democratic in enormous numbers. Why should we let you guys swamp the country with people who've done nothing to earn it or prove their allegiance?

Taking in Vietnamese hasn't worked out so good for the gang-rape victims in Fresno. You don't hear much about them, certainly not compared to all the airtime, ink and column inches devoted to imaginary rapes, like Duke or Columbia or that Rolling Stone bullshit. The Germans were among the founding ethnic groups of this country, and have pretty much been a net asset. But when we went to war against the Germans, we threw German citizens in jail for publicly comforting German nationals who were stuck in the country by the outbreak of war.

The Italians were not refugees, they had no welfare, and tons of them went home. We didn't bring entire villages here to collect government checks through family reunification policies, and the Mafia gave us cause to regret the numbers we did bring in and allow to stay. The Mafia is going away now, because the Italians are assimilating and the ethnic cohesion is breaking down. If the Southern Italians had come in now, we'd be setting up special enclaves, Mafia dons would be "community leaders" and every time the police tried to bust up an extortion racket, we'd be hearing about racial profiling, along with gaseous historical lectures about the glories of the Roman Empire, when the current immigrant groups had nothing to do with that, other than occupying some of the same space at very different periods of time.

If the Arabs and the Mexicans want to come here under the same conditions in which the Germans, Irish, Italians and Slavs did (or the blacks), then maybe we can talk, but as it is, there is no comparison of irrelevant historical incidents.

It's not that we "used to aspire to the great melting pot" its that you and your ilk have called the melting pot racist, and refuse to let it do its work. The "great melting pot" has no use for bilingualism.

AGAINST a Muslim, a fake bomb is terrorism, but reacting negatively to a Muslim who has a fake bomb is racism. Four legs good, two legs bad!

Oh, so now law enforcement is to be believed 100% when they assert that their victims WOULD have done something bad? We're supposed to believe that Michael Brown would not have harmed a fly if the police had not bothered him, that Trayvon Martin is completely innocent of any intended wrongdoing, since we can't get a confession from him. But because the FBI makes a self-serving claim that they have prevented something bad, we're to take that as stipulated?

And that's assuming the article actually says what you claim, which is pretty much the exact opposite of my experience in checking your links.

And even if 100% true, that's all you've got, alleged plots. As opposed to the Black Panthers, the Weathermen, the Sierra Club, the Bloods, the Crips, Jim Jones, the Symbionese whatever-the-hell-they-were, MS-13, and the Occupy movement, whose gatherings were as rife with assaults and rape as the typical fraternity in the most lurid imagination of a Rolling Stones writer.

The environmentalists are the leading perpetrators of terrorism by far, and since none of them are descended from Muslims or Hindus, they are totally going to inflate the count of white christian terrorists.
