Obama speech aims to reassure a nervous nation

More about the organization that is so worried about refugees and immigrants.....

Since 1995, CIS has been led by Mark Krikorian, the child of Armenian immigrants who didn’t learn English until kindergarten; he was paradoxically an early opponent of the movement toward bilingual education in the United States and has made a career crusading against mass immigration.

A longtime columnist at the conservative National Review (and the author of that “Is Hillary Responsible for Releasing Criminal Aliens” post mentioned above), Krikorian is an advocate of “enforcement by attrition,” a concept better known, thanks to Mitt Romney, as “self-deportation.” As a testament to Krikorian’s, and CIS’s influence in D.C., a June 2013 Washington Post profile entitled, “The Provocateur Standing in the Way of Immigration Reform,” reframed the question of whether immigration reform can pass as, “Can Mark Krikorian be stopped?”

Coverage of Krikorian by the nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks extremists and hate groups in the United States, has been far more critical, if not scathing. Krikorian, the SPLC claims, has been known to “hobnob with extremists.” According to the SPLC, Krikorian accepted an invitation to speak alongside known Holocaust denier Nick Griffin and so-called “racial realist” Jared Taylor at the Michigan State chapter of Young Americans for Freedom in 2007, despite the group having recently made news for orchestrating such offensive events as “Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day,” a “Koran Desecration” competition, and covering the campus in “Gays Spread AIDS fliers.”

But I'm sure that Benvolio hangs on his every word......

I would note that the methodology that this wild pack of Sturmtief untermenschen used in their 'study' of how much a refugee 'costs' is so flawed as to be funny...if it weren't for people of limited intelligence and poor education lapping up every word.

The majority of comments on here are stupid!

Mark Krikorian = Scheißekopf

Ad hominem ad nauseum. Alas the democrat media reports little if anything disagreeing with Hussein's evil agenda. Where are the democrat reports of Christians included or not being included in the " refugee" invasion?

Bullshit. Was watching Chris Matthews and 15 minutes into the show, they cut away to Donnie's speech. Later on Rachel's show, Hillary got all of 30 seconds. Democrat media my ass.

And yet you're happy to attack three character of your president and of each refugee apparently without question.

You continue to make unsubstantiated claims and quote those who lack credibility.

Bet he just loved Bush/Cheney.

The democrat media are promoting Trump to be the GOP nominee as he is probably unelectiable, or at least the easiest for a democrat to defeat.

 

[jbrown329]

The GOP made tRump. 68% of his followers will follow him if he runs as an independent. Just goes to show the amount of racism and xenophobia in the Republican party.

 

[rareboy]

No. The GOP owns this outright.

The reason that Trump is out front right now is that he has tapped into that vast reservoir of racism and envy that the proles just eat up.

Don't try to blame the Democrats for Donald Trump.

And don't complain about ad hominem ad nauseum. As Kabluey points out, you are a master of this. Exposing Kirkorian as a radical right wing extremist who dishonestly uses factual data to spread lies is not ad hominem, it is context. It makes me think about all the SS and Nazis with Jewish heritage who went to wild extremes to prove they were Aryan.

lol. As if Trump hasn't spent most of the past several decades mastering how to ensure that he stays in the media.

It's just the Dems wanting to embarrass Reps, yup.

Trump has always been an asshole. But you've got to admit, being an asshole and a bigot who's got the 'Pubs by the short hairs is not very pretty even if it means they lose.

 

[TX-Beau]

And what about his latest catalog bride? Where does she come from and who has vetted her? How do we know she isn't a terrorist using him to get into the COUNTRY!!!!!

LOL

1,000,000 ÷ 322,301,670 = 0.3 percent

Is there a provision in the Constitution that requires us to allow a certain number of immigrants in per year? We're not required to let anyone into this country, especially those who my be prone to violence or, worse, terrorism.
(That's the tobymerwin drive-by troll of the day.)

 

[tobymerwin]

You are the angriest, most miserable group of people I ever experienced. You never prop up your own beliefs - you only know how to tear down those who don't agree with you. It must be awful to live with so much hate and despair.

 

[hotatlboi]

Anyone that is "nervous" because of one incident where 14 people died is frankly an idiot that does not understand math that well.

This has lost all meaning.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

And we might just as well tear this down. We can sell it to China for scrap.

It's not unjustified to be unconcerned about terrorism. Even if it was 50 times as common, I still wouldn't change my life in any way. The awareness won't stop me from doing what I want to do, go where I want to go.

On the other hand, those who would gladly trade away liberty for security, deserve neither.

And, the way these kind of "trades" go, it almost never ends well.

 

[jbrown329]

They told me to be afraid after 9/11. I was not afraid. They told me to be afraid with the anthrax in the mail. I was not afraid. The GOP is pretty damn good at telling people to be afraid. And there are millions in this country that are afraid because the GOP says so.

To someone who just irrationally wants to keep everyone out and doesn't care what laws have to be bent or what racist philosophies need to be dusted off to accomplish that goal, I'm sure it seems that way.
