I've got several comments.
Anyone born in the USA is, by law, an American citizen, and cannot be forcibly expelled from the country. We probably need to change that to anyone born on American soil whose parents are here legally, is an American citizen. That raises a potential problem that the country of their parents' citizenship may not recognize the kids as citizens of their country and may deny them entry. We're about 40 years late on updating our laws pertaining to illegals and negotiating with the common countries of origin of the illegals about how to handle those born here from illegals.
Paris has a huge Muslim presence. The French government has been receptive to Muslim immigration, but the French people (let me use the term) HATE Muslims. Actually, the French populace is pretty much known for not caring for any non-French. Muslims can only live in specific areas. They can't get jobs that provide adequate financial support for their families. As I understand it, Muslims in France are in rather desperate circumstances and subject to incredible discrimination. Large, repressed populations tend to eventually get irritated.
Anybody who read the start of this thread saw the "Common Sense" verbiage in the title. Then forcing people to watch naked women, drink alcoholic beverages, and eat pork rinds. You might have had a clue by then that the post may have been something other than "Common Sense", as the title indicated. Then the original post went into beheadings without trials. That's what ISIS is doing to captured Westerners, so I proposed returning the favor.
I was able to say one thing and then say something completely opposite to what I originally said. Some people reacted to what hit their buttons and did not look at the fact I had contradicted myself. I would encourage those people to look a little more closely to what they read and what's reported by whom before they claim to be informed voters. It takes more to be informed than just listening to what you want to hear.
The points I'm trying to make are all points that need to be addressed in Presidential and Congressional elections next year. Then you need to consider the views of the candidates and evaluate what the results will be, not just the short-term effect you want for yourself.
