The “Muslim Ban” Returns To US Politics—And Now Most Republicans Agree. By Washington Watcher II.
The conflict in Israel has brought the Muslim issue back to American politics. Islamic terrorists striking outside of Gaza shocked the world. And the large pro-Hamas demonstrations that broke out in America and Europe illustrated the results of mass Muslim immigration.
Donald Trump has highlighted the need for a renewed “Muslim Ban” and Ron DeSantis is also alluding to one, indicating Republicans are ready for this idea. … Islamic terrorism can only reach here through Open Borders. But signs are this issue could be a huge electoral winner for the GOP. …
The Muslim ban was a key to Trump’s primary victory back in 2016. After a series of deadly terror attacks in Europe and America, Trump called for a “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” Contrary to conventional predictions, his poll numbers shot up higher, solidifying his dominance in the race.
When Trump became president, his Muslim ban wasn’t quite a prohibition on all Muslims coming to the U.S. But it did significantly limit the number of Islamic migrants. Trump battled throughout his tenure to secure a travel ban on terrorist hotbeds. The first draft of the ban was blocked by the court, but after adding a few non-Muslim countries, the travel ban remained in place for the rest of Trump’s tenure. The countries banned included the Muslim-majority nations of Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The non-Muslim countries at times included North Korea, Venezuela, and South Sudan.
And the ban did have had its intended effect of reducing Muslim migration. There was an 84 percent decline in immigration from five majority-Muslim nations in the travel ban’s first two years …
Despite Ruling Class hysterics over the travel ban proposal, it was supported by a majority of Americans. One poll found that six in ten voters backed it. There was also evidence that even more Americans would have supported it if it hadn’t been so firmly tied to Trump …
Only nine percent of U.S. voters say they are more sympathetic to Palestinians than Israelis …
The one thing to keep in mind: many Muslims aren’t coming here the legal way. Over 70,000 illegals from “special interest” countries have been encountered at the border since Joe Biden took office. This includes thousands from such terror hotspots as Afghanistan … There are also a high number of migrants on the terror watchlist being encountered at the border. By July, 160 terror watchlist suspects had been apprehended trying to get into the U.S. …
However, most Muslims came here the legal way. Incredibly, Islamic immigration actually increased after 9/11. … The American Muslim population nearly doubled from 2001 to 2017. This was due entirely to immigration. …
Bottom line: the left loves Muslim immigration:
Nearly two-thirds of Muslims are Democrats. Eighty-six percent of Muslims voted for Biden and 94 percent believe “White Supremacy” is a big problem. … They cannot assimilate into the Historic American Nation.
