April 13, 201016 yr His Exact words ..... "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." So who is he standing with???

So who is he standing with??? American Citizens:rolleyes:
April 13, 201016 yr Not all immigrants are U.S. citizens.. Remember the 9/11 bombers?? So he will stand with the Muslims at the expense of the safety of U.S. born citizens...
April 13, 201016 yr Not all immigrants are U.S. citizens.. Remember the 9/11 bombers?? So he will stand with the Muslims at the expense of the safety of U.S. born citizens... C'mon, cammando! You're deliberately twisting his words. There are many legal Muslim immigrants, and you know that's who he's standing with. They have as much right to safety as any "U.S. born" citizens.
April 13, 201016 yr C'mon, cammando! You're deliberately twisting his words. There are many legal Muslim immigrants, and you know that's who he's standing with. They have as much right to safety as any "U.S. born" citizens.Sure the legals have a right to safety, but non-scrutinized safety at times of war would be suicidal.. The bombers were "legals"...
April 13, 201016 yr Sure the legals have a right to safety, but non-scrutinized safety at times of war would be suicidal.. The bombers were "legals"... So, you'd be OK if all Irish-American's were profiled if the IRA bombed an American entity?
April 13, 201016 yr So, you'd be OK if all Irish-American's were profiled if the IRA bombed an American entity? Irish born or one generation removed, YES.
April 13, 201016 yr Irish born or one generation removed, YES.Absolutely.. How soon some people forget..
April 14, 201016 yr Irish born or one generation removed, YES. Then we need to go and begin profiling all white, male christians between the ages of 20 - 50. Should we go down the list . . . Tim McVeigh will start For what it is worth, if you look at the words from the text the President actually says . . . "my meetings with Arab and Pakistani AMERICANS". . . "they need specific reassurance that their CITIZENSHIP means something." So I would say that it is perfectly clear that he was standing with American Citizens in that statement and that as I STATED BEFORE . . . the quote as originally posted in this thread was so out of context it was almost a lie, and as a matter of fact it wasn't even quoted correctly. Muslims was added so in essence the post was a lie. Not that the poster intended for it to be, but it does remind us that the President is muslim.
April 14, 201016 yr Not all immigrants are U.S. citizens.. Remember the 9/11 bombers?? So he will stand with the Muslims at the expense of the safety of U.S. born citizens...Good gosh ...
April 14, 201016 yr Good gosh ... So you are fine with any immigrants having free run of the country as long as they are "legal"... :rolleyes:: I guess a few more bombings would not bother you either...:rolleyes:
April 14, 201016 yr So you are fine with any immigrants having free run of the country as long as they are "legal"... :rolleyes:: I guess a few more bombings would not bother you either...:rolleyes:That's quite an interpretation of what you think my position is ...
April 14, 201016 yr So you are fine with any immigrants having free run of the country as long as they are "legal"... :rolleyes:: I guess a few more bombings would not bother you either...:rolleyes: AGAIN, the quote had nothing to do with immigrants. He said "Americans" and "Citizenship" but don't let that get in your way of hatin'.
