I understand the background checks for employment. To basically be following around people because they have a muslim name is called harassment and grounds for law suits under civil liberties laws. Trust me I cannot stand the bs that muslims get away with and I personally am disgusted that we are spending trillions of dollars to rebuild their shithole countries when our own economy is a mess. Here is the reason why I disagree with you. If you allow one to do excessing measures of monitoring for a specific group, then you have to allow it for the rest of the population. It's not just a random muslim that does stupid shit, there are nutjobs all over the place that lose it for a few seconds and take out a few people. For myself, it's either we go completely overboard and destroy our civil liberties or leave it as is and accept the fact that shit happens. It's a tough decision to have to make.
I agree that our government is doing a half ass job deciding who to allow in the country. Politicians are more worried about votes than doing what is right. It boggles my mind how I am racist because I want an illegal immigrant in Arizona deported. I am all for people doing the necessary work to get into the country, shit my wife and her family did it. I am completely against people sneaking in and then demanding to mooch off our system.
At some point people need to realize you are coming into OUR country and you should have to complete certain steps. Also, if you are so proud of your previous country, then go back. Simple. Pdgqp, we are pretty close to the same beliefs, it's just I am against trading civil liberties once you are in the country legally.
