Trump's Parents-in-Law Use Chain Migration Which He Hates
Okay, I admit that at this point, I'm just trolling.
From the New York Times:
Melania Trump’s Parents Become U.S. Citizens, Using ‘Chain Migration’ Trump Hates
Melanie Trump's parents have now become naturalized US citizens through a process that involves being sponsored by their daughter, a US citizen.
In family-based immigration, adult American citizens can petition for residency for their parents, adult married children and siblings.
Mr. Trump has criticized the program as a path for terrorists to get into the country.
Nonetheless, I do sincerely welcome the Knavses as my fellow citizens.

I'm for bias and bigotry if it means excluding criminals, jihadists and leftists/communists/ and people who poop on sidewalks..
You will likely see this again with emphasis on particular categories. Nothing new here though. We've worse stuff about you in some of our sig files.

Re: Trump's Parents-in-Law Use Chain Migration Which He Hates
My wife, her parents and most of her siblings came to this country from Vietnam via chain migration via her oldest sister. None of them have committed any crimes and have all been productive law abiding citizens. It's actually a good thing for immigrants to be able to sponsor their family as they are a built in support system.

Asians in general come from cultures that value work and personal social responsibility, in other words good candidates for citizenship.

Conservative Cal Thomas (on a conservative site townhall.com) said this:
quote:
In an article for Reason magazine last May, Steve Chapman, a columnist and editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune, referenced a University of Chicago GenForward Survey of Americans, ages 18 to 34. The survey found that "62 percent believe we need a strong government to handle today's complex economic problems." Only 35 percent said "the free market can handle these problems without government being involved."
The survey, noted Chapman, found that "Overall, 49 percent hold a favorable view of capitalism -- and 45 percent have a positive view of socialism," with socialism scoring higher approval among African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans. Sixty-one percent of Democrats have a positive view of socialism, which is not surprising, while 25 percent of Republicans favor it, which is a surprise.
Cal Thomas admits that 25% of Republicans have a positive view about something you feel should be banned in the USA, Faith.

But you DO CARE what people think.
You said you want people banned from the country over economic policy views.

26% of conservatives and 23% of Tea Party folk support socialism.
Poll: Americans Like Free Markets More than Capitalism and Socialism More Than a Govt Managed Economy
Only 70% of conservatives and 72% of Tea Party folks hold a negative view of socialism.
Faith.
You aren't being clear enough about this situation.
Clarify please.
Should they be considered dangerous too?
For their views.

Re: 26% of conservatives and 23% of Tea Party folk support socialism.
I wonder why people who hate socialism still drive on public roads, go to public schools, use public libraries, accept public police and fire services, visit public parks, walk on public sidewalks, use public street lights, accept Social Security and Federal or State Disaster aid?

A lot of Muslims are Asian.

Obviously their muslimosity cancels their asianness with some left over to make them evil.
