The Islamic symbolism of waving the book in the face of the non believer infidel is what is missed here -- this is very sad.

A Muslim-American whose family is from Pakistan can be a loyal American and put his country ahead of everything else, going beyond the call of duty and risking his life for his country. This man's son died with honor. Donald Trump wants to deny other members of this man's family legal entry and immigration into the "Promised Land" only for reason of the religion -- that is how many people see the USA -- a place where they aspire to live.

This old man is not a towel-head he is wearing a western suit. His son was a Army Captain so he had a college education. Maybe, these men are exceptions to the rule but to their community (meaning all Middle Eastern Muslims) they are successful Americanized role models.

And you want to throw that away because you fear the next unknown Islamic Terrorist State attack -- which is exactly what the terrorists want -- a "holy war'' for all true-believers to see +1 for the Islamic Terrorist State.
Quite sloppy reasoning, gibberish.

There is no contitutional right to open immigration. The gentleman in question's rhetoric was aimed to suggest to the contrary, to convey the opposite. He aimed his remarks to mislead his audience, precisely a lie, and to lie that Trump is ignorant of something that a reading of the constitution could easily answer. What he actually established is that Trump onows the limits of the constitution better than he.

Why does this matter?

After two generations of pudding-brained, left-leaning elementary and high school teachers, a big proportion of mids come out of school in our cities believing that they have a constitutionally-protected right to be fed, a warm place to sleep, Medical Care, higher education Etc. Of course none of these things are anyone's guaranteed right under the American Constitution. But they have been erroneously taught by these soft-brained teachers that such a right exists. They become angry that these so-called fundamental rights that really don't exist are being violated. That anger leads them to Crime to forcibly take what they honestly believe is their entitlement which has been denied to them. That is at least a small part of the problem of crime in American cities today. There is no right to a free lunch. There is no right to open immigration. Falsely teaching people that they have rights that don't exist in reality will never lead to a good conclusion.
