Again, I'm just responding to this NCR column, which implores everyone to accept his/her take on the immigration issue or else, this author tells us in no uncertain terms, they're fake Americans and fake Christians.   

I happen to disagree, as I think there are ample reasons for why it's better to err on the side of caution than on the side of (what I see as)  blind sentiment.

I think there is ample evidence that accepting people from radicalized Muslim nations is problematic.   We've seen over and over again that people from radicalized nations are more of a risk than other immigrants.

Does the dem side recognize this?  Given that the want to accept thousands more immigrants from radicalized nations,  I don't think so.  I think that itself is evidence the dem side doesn't take the risk as seriously as the GOP does.

In any case, the author is free to define American and Christian values as she likes.  I just happen to disagree with his/her essay.
