What exactly do you think is the substantive argument of "but illegal immigration?" Nothing in the article is about illegal immigration, nor is the discussion of a Muslim database about illegal immigration. It's a red herring. We already have immigration databases. This is how the alt-right derails discussion. They exploit our preference to treat all arguments as valid until we're at the point of debating whether mass deportation of ethnic/religious minorities is okay. The growing and vocal influence of the alt-right on HN should not be ignored.
