thank you for making a non-PC/non-SJW aligned post minor addendum: I do find it amusing that the mainstream mass media discourse does not seem capable of finding any nuanced intermediate point somewhere in between the two extremes of "all Muslims are evil" and "perhaps we should temporarily stop all rubber-stamp-approvals of immigration from Iraq/Syria/Afghanistan/SaudiArabia/etc/". And I'd argue that, despite all his imperfections, Trump's stated position was more closely aligned with the latter than the former. Because... clearly, not all Muslims are evil. The vast majority, clearly by the data, are not evil in any objective sense. Yet, at the same time, by any reasonable adult human's perception there is clearly a phenomenon going on lately where a disproportionate number of humans are metaphorically going "Allah Akhabar!" before hitting their detonate button, whether that's for ISIS or Al Qaeda, etc. We should not discriminate against people purely based on the color of their skin, of course. At the same time, we the citizens of the USA don't somehow inherently "owe" anything else to any other random person in the world, we have not somehow explicitly victimized them by saying, for whatever reasons, "no, sorry, but right now we do not wish you, in particular, to come into our country." We have unemployed people here already, we have sick people here already, we have elderly, we have children, we have debts, we don't somehow inherently owe you anything or need you specifically.
