You mean all four of them? Find me a normal American right-winger or even alt righter whoa actually likes Islam.


The numbers are quite small and they're usually to be found among the more esoteric and obscure corners of the political scene and the movement but they do exist. Even here on NSG. And some even convert.

:eyebrow: I wouldn't classify being crippled as something akin to being a criminal or a drug addict. That people used to would be a black mark on the pages of history.


The point was that if someone came over horribly crippled, then they wouldn't be able to support themselves, and would end up as wards of the state or criminals. The US government had an interest in preventing this.

-Mental cases
-Anti-social people

The point of Ellis Island was to screen for these people.


I believe its entirely reasonable that a sovereign nation is choosing and setting it's criterias in regards to immigration.


It is perfectly rational. Why shouldn't we be picky?

People with mental illness. I believe at the time it was enforced, it mostly referred to autism, Down Syndrome, low IQ, or an inability to follow instructions.

Immigration officers would administer tests to them to see how everyone stacked up.


If I may, I must dissent; I find that banning individuals on the autism spectrum from entering the country to be (in layman's terms) not very cash money of the government.

You can make a moral case against it, I suppose, but you can also make a materialist argument in favor of it.

It's not nonsense, it's historical fact. Hanafi madhab classified Hindus, Jains and Buddhists as people of the book based on their having religious scripturrd, following a prior precedent set for Zoroastrians.

It is entirely rational. Ultimatively it does depends on decisions of the political leadership based on what kind of immigration is desireable and what objectives, policies and limitations are to set accordingly.

Given that theres a backlog of over 800.000 immigration/asylum(?) cases pending in the court it would make, for example, sense to reject further applications until that number has been worked down. That would be entirely reasonable and rational too.

Few become Muslim through studying Islam. People get enticed into it. Money from proselytizing countries planning on using them as poster boys helps, for example.
