Draggingtree Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Observer: CAIR ‘Emergency Rally’ Against Trump’s Muslim Immigration Ban Rocks Washington Square Park By Madina Toure • 01/25/17 11:24pm A massive demonstration convulsed the Greenwich Village less than 24 hours after word surfaced that President Donald Trump was planning to implement, in part, the ban on Muslim immigration he proposed on the campaign trail—and following his signing of two executive orders targeting undocumented immigrants. The “emergency rally,” organized by the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, had among its speakers an array of elected officials, faith leaders and advocates representing different races, ethnicities and religions. Attendees shouted “Stand up, fight back!” and “No ban, no wall!”—referencing the president’s plans to both severely curtail the movement of people from some 30 majority Muslim nations, should they refuse to cooperate with American intelligence, and to construct a barrier along the Mexican border.

Draggingtree Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hamilton on Immigration November 20, 2016 by The Editors 1 Comment “To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens, the moment they put foot in our country… would be nothing less, than to admit the Grecian Horse into the Citadel of our Liberty and Sovereignty.” —Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton, writing as “Lucius Crassus” in the New York Evening Post on January 12, 1802, expounds on legitimate reasons why a country might place limits on immigration. Resuming the subject of our last paper we proceed to trace still farther, the consequences that must result from a too unqualified admission of foreigners, to an equal participation in our civil, and political rights. The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common National sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias, and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family. To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens, the moment they put foot in our country, as recommended in the Message, would be nothing less, than to admit the Grecian Horse into the Citadel of our Liberty and Sovereignty. https://amgreatness.com/2016/11/20/hamilton-on-immigration/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
