    I have worked in construction all over the country including New York City. Your apparent belief in superiority is unfounded and shows hubris.

    I choose to honor their deaths by refusing to be terrorized. Pity you didn't seem to learn that lesson.

    I honor those people every day I walk this planet. And I DON'T let what happened turn me into the kind of scared bigoted person I see so often attacking all Muslims for what a couple crazies did.

    Get back to me when you have skin in the game

    Thus far, all the terrorists have been American born. The travel ban would not necessarily solve the problem here.

    Concerned about the people that want to kill you = bigotry. Liberal logic 101.

    Intellectual dishonesty clap trap. I see you danced right around the fact that we have the most stringent process already in place when it comes to vetting people from the ME. Trump's ban was to last only 90 days. 90 days have came and went without incident? why? because dufus Trump didn't realize we have been successful in our vetting without this ban. His idiocy was only to riled up his base in order to be elected. Thus far, ALL the terrorists have been US born, something you conveniently forgot.

    LOL, ignorance is bliss. You probably don't realize that under Obama some of the vetting procedures from the countries that have absolutely no record of the people wanting to come into our country is basically asking them if they are terrorists are not

    Sorry but there are about 1.7 billion Muslims who DON'T "want to kill me"...

    In fact I have more to worry about from lunatic white supremacists. THOSE people scare me. Ya know the skinheads with the Nazi tattoos on their necks?

    I see those quite frequently

    The birther-in-chief started this fear mongering years before he ran for office. He tested the waters with the birther movement to see just how gullible and lily-livered his chosen rubes were...and boy did it pay off.

    It might help, but it is hardly the only thing that can stop terrorism and it isn't foolproof.

    Yeah...because you work for the FBI, CIA and Homeland Security correct? you danced right around the fact that all terrorists thus far have been homegrown (except 9/11 and they were Saudi's). Ignorant IS bliss.

    Nah...political correctness is sending your countrymen to die in a foreign land when war wasn't warranted because you wanted to satisfy your fan base.

    1. Please stop this fear-mongering.

    2. Put that energy into maintaining SEPARATION OF CHURCH/STATE. (That will be our best protection from ourselves and others.)

    1. Many of them still seem to go back and forth to their country of origin. It would prevent that, which would be a great thing.
    2. So what? Why bring in new threats? Doesn't make sense to me. From countries that sponsor terrorism, we don't want them and we don't need them.

    1. You can't limit where your citizen can or cannot go. That would be unconstitutional. The proof would be on the government to prove they have terroristic tendencies.

    2. The "ban" isn't permanent. And thus far we have been doing a good job preventing terrorists from coming in.

    Why let ANYONE in then. By your "logic" all we have to do is close our borders completely
