No, we do not "raise one eyebrow" because someone was born on the wrong patch of dirt. That is a shameful and disgusting approach for the "shining city on a hill" to take.
- fortran77 7y agoIf he were asking for asylum because his life was in danger--that's when we're the "shining city on a hill". And of course we should carefully evaluate those sorts of claims and try to do the correct and just things. But that's not the case here, is it?
- damnyou 7y agoIt doesn't matter — it is so obviously wrong to discriminate based on country of origin that I can't even believe we're having this discussion. (And yes, I'm aware that consular posts do it all the time, issuing fewer visas to people from the wrong countries. States suck, and state violence sucks.)
