Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency and use military for deportations

Constantinople fell in 1453, but it took them almost half a millennium to change the official English-language name. (Though just as Thais refer to their capital as 'Krung Thep' rather than 'Bangkok',

They probably just don't want to deal with the obvious ladyboy jokes.

You know, calling everybody who disagrees with you an "idiot" or a "bigot" is getting tiresome.
And I only brought Turkic western invasion to show that the "land back" left is very selective in what ancient conquests they condemn (anything to do with people of European descent) and which they are fine with (pretty much every other people). If New York is on "stolen land", then so is Istanbul.

A caliphate would be about as bad as what The Felon is going for. Moderate Islam is fine, radical Islam is not.

A caliphate would be much worse. The mass migrants tend to come from areas where radical Islam is predominant such as Afghanistan.

Of course they do. Because those are the places thag people want to get away from.

The idea that they are therefore likely to want to establish radical Islam in their new homes is bizarrely broken logic.

Most of the Jewish migrants arriving in America (or trying to get to America) in the early 1930s were from places where Nazism was rampant. "We should not allow them in, in case they try to establish Nazism in America", would have be an incredibly stupid and illogical position to take back then. Even though it would have been possible to find examples of German Jews who were fans of Nazism.

But it's the exact argument you are making now about Afghan refugees and radical Islam.

Sending anyone back to Haiti - a perfect example of a violent, dangerous shithole - should be considered a crime against human decency.

Anyone? Even those who have e.g. committed violent crimes on US soil?

Yes.

The Haitians in the USA under this protected status as a group are productive members of their communities that posed no real threats or problems until some bigot spread a vicious lie that ignited a fire under white nationalist assholes.

The "they are eating the pets" line was a lie. That does not mean that there aren't problems with the concept of turning a temporary protected status into a vehicle for large-scale permanent migration.
Just like there is a problem into turning the asylum system into a vehicle for large-scale economic migration.
[/QUOTE] It doesn’t mean there are problems in your straw man. The point was about the Haitians not some imaginary bogeymen.
