I totally agree! They should certainly try to cross the border with a little Syrian or Sudanese girl in a headscarf, just to see if they can. Who cares if these girls get turned back, if some dumbass border security agent arbitrarily decides she's a threat, she and her friends can certainly deal with any emotional fall out. Certainly no Republican blindly supporting his President's idiotic 'security' measures should concern himself with the reality of ill-thought out policies and poor implementation. FUATHYRIO Quote

Not the point; your claim that they are paranoid if they decide not to chance it because they may have kids or chaperones from the banned countries is delusional, a result of your blind adherence to a stupid president and his piss poor policy implementation. I don't give a flying F what Obama did; its irrelevant to whats happening today. Quote
