What is irrational about blocking Muslim immigration? I could understand an argument that it's mean, racist, or a few other negative things, but from the position of a non-Muslim what about it is irrational?
Because there's nothing else that's different about me from a non-Muslim. I'm a qualified Engineer, who pays taxes, abides by the rules, performs community service, a blood donor, etc.
I'm just an average guy looking to live my life, all Muslims are like that except those that have been brainwashed and are used for political reasons.
Why discriminate against me for my faith? Isn't the U.S. a secular country?
For every Muslim immigrant who is a tax-paying engineer, there are a hundred who lack any sort of skill and will spend their entire life dependent on costly social programs. In Germany, for example, the average cost per refugee is 12,000 euros per year.
There's simply no reason to bring in populations that require more money to support than they contribute.
This sort of generic, hand-wavey attack on an entire population crosses into religious flamewar, which is not allowed on HN. Please don't post like this here.
