Remember the Patriot Act? How did we get that again?
We got it because people were scared of foreigners. You are promoting expanding it.

Yeah- like all the security measures imposed after 9/11 have been "temporary".
More likely Islamaphobia has not stopped. How many times have Islamic immigrants attacked inside the United States since then? How many times have Mexican immigrants attacked the US?
If you want the government to protect your wages, ...... well I won't make judgement on your worth, but you might be a democrat.
In 2011, the GAO aimed to learn the cost of keeping criminal aliens behind bars. The government analysts wrote that due to the large number of arrest files, they randomly selected 1,000 criminal aliens in five states — Arizona, California, Florida, New York and Texas — and took a close look at their arrest records.
The researchers detailed a host of caveats: At the state level, it’s possible that some people are counted twice if, for example, they are first kept at a county jail and are then transferred to a state prison. And the margin of error for the overall tally of homicides, as well as other crimes, was +/- 20 percent.
The GAO was clear about the lack of precision in its results. A close look shows why anyone should use them with great caution.
October 2002
Over a period of three weeks, John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo killed 10 people and critically injured three others in Washington DC, Baltimore, and Virginia. The pair were also suspected of earlier shootings in Maryland, Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, and Washington state. While their motives remain a mystery, evidence presented at the trial showed Muhammad and Malvo were in possession of images related to jihad
March 2006
Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar injured six people when he drove an SUV into a group of pedestrians at UNC-Chapel Hill “to avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world”. He turned himself into police shortly after the attack. He pleaded guilty to nine counts of attempted first degree murder, and in 2008 was sentenced to 33 years in prison.
June 2009
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad shot and killed one soldier and injured another in a drive-by shooting at a military careers station in Little Rock, Arkansas. Muhammad, a convert to Islam, had visited Yemen for 16 months where he spent time in prison and became radicalised. He said he was part of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and was upset over the US killing Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2011 he pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison.
November 2009
Maj Nidal Malik Hasan of the US army opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, killing 13 people and wounding at least 30. In 2013, Hasan was convicted by a military tribunal. He defended himself and took responsibility for the attack saying his motive was jihad, to fight “illegal and immoral aggression against Muslims”. The US government has not called the shooting a terrorist attack, characterising it as one of “workplace violence”. Hasan was sentenced to death.
April 2013
Chechen brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev detonated two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the Boston marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260. After the bombing, they shot and killed an MIT campus police officer while he was sitting in his squad car, before hijacking an SUV and fleeing to nearby Watertown, Massachusetts. A huge police chase ensued, resulting in a shootout during which several IED’s were thrown by the brothers.
October 2014
Zale Thompson injured two NYPD Officers with an 18in hatchet on a crowded sidewalk in Queens. Four officers were posing for a photograph when Thompson charged them. They opened fire killing Thompson and injuring a civilian. Thompson, who converted to Islam two years before the attack, was a frequent visitor of websites that promoted jihad, but police said he had no ties to any international terror group.
May 2015
Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi opened fire outside a Muhammad art exhibit event at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas. The event featured the first inaugural “draw the prophet” contest. A Garland school district police officer was injured. Both gunmen were killed by police. Isis later claimed responsibility for the attack.
July 2015
Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez began firing on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Four Marines and one sailor were killed and a police officer was injured. Abdulazeez was killed by police in a gunfight following a high-speed chase. He was a naturalised US citizen born in Kuwait. The FBI has yet to determine whether it was an act of terrorism.
December 2015
Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik opened fire at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, killing 14 people and injuring 17 others. Farook had been at the centre for a Christmas party earlier but left following an argument. The pair fled in an SUV but were later killed by police. Bomb equipment, weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition were found in their home. The FBI said it was investigating the shootings as “horrific acts of terrorism” after it emerged the couple had apparent links to Isis.
Tell that STEM workers out of a job at HP, Microsoft, Boeing, Disney. But I guess since your ass is not in the cross hairs why care, right?
When your way of showing you care is by pointing the cross hairs at the business owner and their new employees, its probably better if you didn't.
GAO didn't do any full count of prisoners, their immigration status, and their crimes. They took a random sample of 1000 prisoners in a handful of states and tried to extrapolate data. http://www.gao.gov/assets/320/316959.pdf
Another problem with the homicide figure- the FBI does not track immigration status for homicides so that is impossible to know how many were immigrants and how many were not. In addition, arrested for a crime does not necessarily mean guilty of a crime. Alien does not necessarily mean "illegal alien" either. It just means not born in the country.

Terrorist Attacks in the US Since 9/11: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/dec/05/terrorist-attacks-by-islamists-in-the-us-since-911

Iran born but became a Citizen at age two. I count that as growing up American.

Immigrants.

Naturalized immigrant
Farook Born in the USA. Malik- immigrant
Banning all immigration would have prevented maybe two or three of these.
Notice how you leave our 9/11 and the 93 world trade center bombing? I wonder why. And yes it wold have if we did not all Islamic immigration, they would not have been born inside this nation.
That is biased.
Yeah, that total explains away the victims, 25,000 still lay dead and you work to create more victims, you are a traitor to this nation Juan.
Due to the large volume of arrests and offenses,
we selected a random sample of 1,000 criminal aliens and analyzed their
arrest records to estimate the number and types of offenses in our study
population
. There are no reliable population data on criminal aliens incarcerated
in all state prison systems and local jails.
and the
margin of error for the estimated numbers of criminal aliens is no more
than +/-30 percent of the estimate
What bad would happen if we severely limited immigration
Did those happen "since 9/11" as I asked? Seems all of the mass killing going on are citizens with guns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rampage_killers_(Americas)
What would happen, economically, if half the population committed suicide tomorrow?
Would the survivors be richer or poorer?
