I think that Trumps bill is reasonable, determining who can get in by looking at what they are like makes sense. As far as I can tell, it aims to judge people by their character, sociability and economic potential, not race or skin color.
"I agree with everything you said, however valuing everyone equally and ignoring their treasonous or pedophile or terrorists cultures and beliefs is not pragmatic."
In Christianity you differentiate between sin and sinner. Every sinner was created as an image of God and is loved by God, meaning they have the capacity to love their Father back and do good works that He delights in. Based on this inherent potential for godliness as children of God, we should not hate sinners, even if that person is a criminal. That said, this does not contradict prevention and punishment for crimes. To love the sinner and to condemn the sins does not mean we should just shrug our shoulders when people do evil. Not at all. Condemnation of sins and evil includes crime prevention and punishment. Christianity is doing anything BUT ignoring the problem of evil. It's a matter of where you position the root for evil. I don't see the root of evil in the cultural environment or genetic predisposition. I see it in the way you view the world and what you intent to do within it.
Skin color and cultural environment is not enough in determining a persons character and actions. It's not right to condemn an entire people group based on a statistic of propensity for crime. If you were born into a family of criminals, but you don't engage in criminal behavior yourself, it would be unjust to be condemned alongside your criminal family members. You gotta look at people seperately to determine whether they are good or not. I think that's what the bill is trying to achieve as well.
If I had a daughter and dangerous neighborhoods nearby of course I would tell her not to walk through them. But I reject the notion that skin color and genetic predisposition should be looked at as the root cause for crimes/evil behavior. Socio-economic background, cultural environment and genes are all factors in human behavior but they aren't what determines a persons behavior necessarily, because we are not deterministic machines. Believe and faith matter. Just because someone says he is a muslim, doesn't mean that person is automatically a terrorist. You gotta look closer than that and examine their believes. Believes are a complex thing. Have you read the Quran? Have you interiewed Muslims to determine what they really believe? Individuality is a thing. Collectivist judgment is no good. Gotta look at people seperately. Even if 10 black guys beat you up then what about all the black guys who are doctors and scientists and good people? I would do them injustice by associating their skin color with evil. It's superficial, even genes are not deep enough. Belief goes to the soul, the character of a person.
Well I grew up with people from all over the world and race was not the defining factor when it came to friendship and decent behavior. I don't care if this view happens to be politically correct. Genetics is a variable in human behavior but not the defining root cause for crimes and shitty behavior that you seemingly make it out to be. I think you overemphasize race. People and their decision making is a complex topic, reducing it to genetics and ethnicity is blurrying the picture more so than it helps clarifying it. If you want to emphasize race ok sure, but honestly, what you are saying does sound racist to me, even though I sound like a lefty now, sometimes racism actually is racism. But maybe I misunderstood you, that's possible too. Who knows. I guess we won't agree here. I wish you all the best though.
