If I had a bowl of skittles and told you just 3 will kill you?

The Skittles analogy is brilliant.

Democrats still cannot explain how the USA benefits from muslim immigration or why we should be comfortable with open borders. They simply have no reason they are willing to share.

It's about more than "just the 3 that will kill you". It's also about the rest who mostly will become leeches on our social system. We've already got what, 94 MILLION non-working citizen adults in the US? How does swelling our welfare roles with low IQ invaders benefit us in any fashion? Rhetorical question, I know. The answer is, "it doesn't".

America is being flooded with illegal immigrants for a POLITICAL PURPOSE, which includes THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR COUNTRY... and presumes to benefit only a few greedy, power-hungry elites while harming the rest of us.

Anybody who doesn't see that is either politically blinded or not very smart.

The media are full of faux outrage over Trump Jr's analogy. "People are not skittles" etc.

So I guess he hit home with it. I like gwb's point as well. The liberals want to force you to eat the whole bowl. They no doubt would pass as they prefer for others to pay the price of their moral narcissism.

I like the idea of... "If you support illegal immigration, then YOU take one/family into your home and provide support". Then let's see how much you like it. It's not a matter of, "well, the government takes care of them somewhere/somehow... and somebody else pays for it all, but I don't (as I don't pay taxes you understand)... house them anywhere at somebody else's expense... but NIMBY!"

I guess we should just get rid of all vehicles too! National Safety Council: 1.3 million die of road crashes each year...3,287 deaths a day worldwide!!! And you're worried about GUNS? People are driving a "GUN" everyday!

Exactly, one should make an effort to remain rational. Because we allowed the passenger rail system to be abandoned by the railroad companies, we have no widespread passenger transportation system in our country. We tried to do something about this, but government efforts to step in were largely thwarted by the airline lobby long after the street cars had been bought up and eliminated by the car companies. We seem to be stuck with the private automobile. We weigh the risk of driving against the need to get out of the house. Our susceptibility to advertising has convinced us that we will be happier and have a more enjoyable sex life if we employ impeccable logic at our local car dealer and save $2000 by buying a $32,000 SUV before the price goes up. The automobile has won out despite the not insignificant expense and risk.

Even though terrorism is a boon to both arms manufacturers and the defense industry, a major part of our economy, and furnishes fuel for populist, fear mongering politicians, we personally have no need for terrorists. It's hard to see the public benefit of terrorism. We, the public that is, would just as soon do what is reasonable to keep terrorists out of our country. Sadly, all the reliable ways of identifying terrorists seem to be illegal. We are stuck with keeping everyone that's not like us out. Although this is not as reasonable as we wish it were, keeping everyone out does have the virtue of forcing us to be inventive. We will have to come up with a good excuse that might be Constitutional. Meanwhile our natural humanitarian leanings compel us to weigh the virtue of sheltering many thousands in need against an unknown increase in an extremely small risk of being caught up in a terrorist attack. Once we start down the slippery slope of emotion and sentimentality however, who knows what the outcome could be -- possibly another terrorist attack.

Pie, you can relax about the Constitution. No foreigner has a Constitutional right to come here and we can enact any kind of restrictions we decide are necessary.

Getting rid of problem cases after they have arrived here however or, shudder, become naturalized is another matter. Far better to err on the side of exclusion. The FBI is already whining that they can't be blamed because there are too many suspects to keep track of, not to mention the ridiculous PC-inspired restrictions.

Agree with some of your comments, but have to disagree with this statement. Even though it is true that the risk of dying in a terrorist attack is quite small in North America, collectively, we must also understand the freedoms we lost forever after 9-11.

This is not about sentimentalism, this is about the possibility of a nuke going off in a major metropolitan area. Allowing ISIS to roam free in 2010's, was as spectacularly stupid, as it was allowing Al Quaeda to roam free in the 90's.
 
State Dept confirms the legitimacy of the analogy...
there are at least 3 terrorists trying to get in the bowl.

I would also note he is wrong about the vetting process.
There was 3 month fast track for some refuggees...
That the FEDs admitted today that 150,000 person watchlist does not work for technical reasons.

In short this govt is not capable of screening properly right now.

State Department spokesman John Kirby acknowledged Wednesday that Islamic State terrorists are trying to mingle with refugee populations overseas in the hopes of making it to the U.S. posing as a refugee.

"I wouldn't debate the fact that there's the potential for ISIS terrorists to try to insert themselves, and we see that in some of the refugee camps in Jordan and in Turkey, where they try to insert themselves into the population," Kirby said on "Fox and Friends."
