@Lightlyseared I’m Jewish, don’t worry, I grew up being told that it can happen anywhere, and I took it seriously, I still do. For now, we have to wait and see what happens. I seriously have lectured my husband for many years to keep his Mexican passport up to date. He always responds, “why?” I always tell him, “because sometimes it’s better not to be an American.” By that I mean when traveling, or God forbid escaping.
The hysteria now will only be like crying wolf in my opinion. No one will listen if and when things really start to happen. It was ok before the election to try to get out the vote for Hillary, but now “sounding” like an alarmist or paranoid is not helpful. Even before the election it was a questionable tactic. I really feel Trump is not antisemitic, but it doesn’t matter which anti- it might be. It doesn’t matter who he, or people who feel empowered because he is president, go after, it’s not ok.
Trump will learn how rigorous our vetting is for Syrian people wanting to come here. He’s right that criminals coming across our southern boarder need to be dealt with, we already do it now. That’s not a change in policy. I’m not talking about immigrants as a whole coming across, I am not including being an illegal immigrant as a criminal, im talking about criminal activity, larsony, violent crimes, and drug running.
A lot of the stuff Trump talked about is already policy and done now, he just said it in a crass, awful, not PC, way that is not becoming of a president.
