Donald Trump's refugee ban, explained

An explanation of how Trump's ban on refugees isn't about protecting Americans, but banning certain groups from coming in for little to no reason, and some historical context of when America did a "America first" policy on refugees before... which led to disastrous consequences for those we turned away.

Would that fly with you if Obama had said that to Christians that had completed the immigration process, or already immigrated but were on business outside the US? Just go somewhere else, you scare us. You would not accept it.

You do get that many people now 'banned' already lived here, right?
You do understand that those refugees already accepted went through an invasive 18-24 month vetting process while living in refugee camps with no jobs or schools, right?
You do understand that some who've completed that process and were accepted because they put their lives and their families lives in danger by working for America in, lets say Syria, are now denied permanently and their lives are now in danger from retaliation, right?
You do understand that those already accepted would have sold their homes and assets in their home countries, left their jobs, and in some cases purchased property in the US, right ?

If this were done by Obama, or to white Christians, you would be frothing at the mouth. Just wait until Canada bans white right wingers because you guys have now proven to be terrorists and lets see how you react. I seriously doubt it will be with calm patience and an 'oh well, we can just go elsewhere' attitude.

This video assumes that people are only worried about terrorism. And while it's scary, this video is dishonest and biased as F. We've seen whats happening in Europe, terrorism is not the only scary part. From the mass rape, to town curfews, police cover ups and no go zones. And at best the dilution of progressive values.
And yes Trumps policy is also moronic.

Maybe a good way to preserve progressive values is to practice them.

That's great, but if you were to ask an immigrant to practice progressive values, you'd be called a racist, xenophobe etc.

There is also nothing progressive about giving a free pass to non-progressive values.

I imagine those that went through the immigration procedure and all the vetting are wondering where that free pass was.

What is non-progressive about wanting to escape persecution.

But I guess that free pass applies if you were fortunate enough to be born there right? How else did Drumpf get the presidency? Why else would you support a policy that treats everybody from 7 countries as terrorists until proven otherwise?
