I’m not willing to risk it; things like that are the prototype slippery slope, where if it gets a toehold, the next outrage is that much easier to force into place.

Nailed it.
I also throw in the feeling of being on a roller coaster: that sudden rush of “Things just got more wild than I expected all of the sudden and where is this going!”
Except that on a roller coaster you know, at least academically, how it will end up, and that the whole thing has probably been tested for safety tolerances. With the coming administration there is no such assurance.

You seem to be assuming this is only “foreign born” Muslims. The United States is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. We breed them here and they don’t have internal passports identifying them as “Muslim.”

I’m not sure an image of an Italian American pretending to be a Native American has the right note…

Not necessarily. It all depends on where you fall in this diagram.

It doesn’t state how many generations back our immigrant nation is taking notes.
That’s a shitty shrug you just gave at the idea of registering an entire religion of persons.
You should be flushed with shame. Why aren’t you?

There is already a… uh… documentation trail for, uh, all, um, immigrants… already.
I assumed you’d know that

They want to register all muslims coming into the country. Unconstitutional. First Amendment and all that.
And as @AcerPlatanoides notes, there already is documentation for immigrants and refugees coming into the country. I mean, do you have any idea how tough it is to get asylum here in the US? It’s very, very difficult and usually takes years. We have people who interpreted for US forces in places like Iraq and Afghanistan who are STILL waiting to be allowed in.

Tim Wise did this. His conclusion was most folks pointed to 1957, the year Leave It To Beaver debuted. He didn’t ask them if they thought it was a “great” time for people of color or women.

Jeez, all it takes is a simple terrorometer reading. Any moran could do it.
