And I thought all the innocent Americans (or as I'm not from America "people") killed by criminals sucks. As far as I'm informed being a criminal, an asshole or a despicable human being is completely separated from religion, immigration, color, gender, (feel free to extend this list) - people can be multiple things. Or none.

don't feed the troll - there are so many arguments against this that the comment was likely engineered for maximum wrongness.

Among other folks as well [0]. Of note, the US was not the only country to turn away refugees during WWII. Also of note, from what I've read, refugee immigration has been temporarily halted from certain countries with the exemption being refugees from minority religions in those countries.

I also read the same regarding minority religions. Although the price I saw was only citing a draft of the executive order. I wonder when, they haven't already, publish the final version. The countries to which the bans apply are all majority Muslim, so the exemption would apply to non-Muslims.

"Trump's Refugee Plan Will Prioritize Christians Suffering Religious Persecution"

The precise wording of the order/legislation may not mention any specific religion, but the intent is clear. Specific countries will be targeted, and exceptions within those countries will be granted, to ensure that Muslims aren't able to get in but Christians can sail right through.

Not being a racist jackass makes you "liberal"? Is that a "fact" or an "alternative fact"?

Islam is a religion, not a race. Being an illegal immigrant is a form of legal status, not a race. Calling someone a racist every single time we disagree with them is part of the problem.

The entire history is mostly built on alternative facts. They're just so old that just we don't give a fuck and call them facts.

Is being a jackass a religion or a race? And I only call someone a racist when they're racist, you gaslighting sack of shit.
