I grew up during the cold war with USSR.
The US Government had serious visa and immigration restriction with the USSR .
It was also restricted to communist backed nations behind the "iron curtain".
Shortly after WWII ended, Russia emerged as an existential threat to our way of life.
Now, we have ISIS and similar groups, willing to die to help destroy the west.
The nations many reside in, often refer to the USA as the "great Satan".
Some liberal minded , good hearted people, don't want to accept this harsh reality.
It sounds better to believe the Muslim bad guys are few in number.
If we just reach out and welcome them, they will love us.
Maybe, some will? But the hardcore Islamic zealot may see it as weakness and exploit it.
Far better to take prudent steps to minimize our risk.

That just happens to be the truth.
"The study found that only 46 Muslim Americans (defined as “Muslims who lived in the US for an extended period”) were linked to violent extremism at home or abroad in 2016. The total Muslim American population is 3.3 million. "

Just take a few minutes to watch most cable news and you'd think it was .
Plus, unlike the cold war days, they act like we need to be a more friendly and open society.
Just like themselves, i presume.

Jan Sobieski put a stop to it. I wonder what he would think of Europe now?
