1. For the moment, let's ignore the Trump haters who disagree with the ban simply because it is by Trump.
2. Those of us giving Trump the benefit of the doubt understand his desire to keep Americans, especially our Jewish citizens, safe.
3. The Left, I suppose for many, a wishing for only the best things, imagine that welcoming all sorts of immigrants will make them love that we open our nation to just about everyone.
In full disclosure, I am such an immigrant, and I have been very successful here, and I do love this country.
4. Novelist Frederick Forsyth wrote something some 20 years ago about human nature, and it applies to some number of non-Americans here and in their native countries:
“…there were the torrents of students from the Third World.
‘They'll never forgive you, dear boy,’ said the old man.
‘Never expect it and you'll never be disappointed. Your country is a constant reproach. It is rich to their poor, strong to their weak, vigorous to their idle, enterprising to their reactionary, ingenious to their bewildered, can-do to their sit-and-wait, thrusting to their stunted.
‘It only needs one demagogue to arise to shout: “Everything the Americans have they stole from you”, and they'll believe it. Like Shakespeare's Caliban, their zealots stare in the mirror and roar in rage at what they see. That rage becomes hatred, the hatred needs a target. The working class of the Third World does not hate you; it is the pseudointellectuals. If they ever forgive you, they must indict themselves. So far their hatred lacks the weaponry. One day they will acquire that weaponry. Then you will have to fight or die. Not in tens but in in tens of thousands.”
5. The violent, the terrorists, it is themselves they hate but cannot admit it.
The above also applies to those who hate Jews for their accomplishments.
