What assignment is that? I'm a beat car for East District (for the last 15 years). I'm currently looking for an inside assignment though, as I am totally burnt out.Congratulations on your cushy assignment.
I just don't understand this fear of Muslim immigrants. We've had little issue thus far, is Dearborn burning to the ground yet? I mean we do have over 3 million Muslims in the US currently and we are just fine. There is always a risk of letting someone into the country that will end up harming us. However, the only way we eliminate that risk is become a hermit country. I hope we are not advocating that. Immigrants have always been screened, quite extensively. It just seems that we are letting our fears get the better of us. Also, the troubles some European countries are having cannot be fairly used as a future predictor for us, different social norms/groups, laws, and histories. Too many factors to make a fair comparison. We are who we are because of immigrants...

Were they banned? Was there a mass exodus from there to the US that would have required the "floodgates" to be opened? Or are you just assuming what Jefferson would or would not have done? We welcome with open arms people from other areas that were devastated by war, natural disasters, or politics. Irish, Cubans, Africans, Burmese (huge population recently moving into the south side of Indy), etc. What's the difference? Oh I know, they were Christian, not Muslim.Somehow, I seriously doubt that Jefferson ever opened the floodgates to people from the Barbary Coast, home of the original terrorists and now Libya.
Strange how some things never change.
So what was the US legitimation of slavery and extortion at the time?"The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise." - Tripolitan Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman's response to Jefferson when asked by what right they took slaves and extorted money.
So what was the US legitimation of slavery and extortion at the time?
"Some people in the past not related to us did evil, so everyone everywhere should get away with evil."So what was the US legitimation of slavery and extortion at the time?
Oh, and the actual treaty with Tripoli repudiated any religious connotation to the battles. Rather, it was economic.

However, 99% of the people I deal with are NOT criminals.

Little issue thus far ? NY , Boston , San Bernardino , Ft. Hood , Oklahoma AND BROWNSBURG , INDIANA just off the top of my head . How many " little issues " till they become a problem for you ?
Letting our fears get the best of us ? Gee I wonder why ? I mean , it's not like the fine folks of the religion of peace are giving us a reason to fear their non assimilating presence .
Too many factors you say ? Well let's just narrow that down to the least common denominator , care to guess what that would be ?
If none of this is resonating with you , I'd say the "religion of peace " hasn't " spread their message close enough to you yet .
OMG! He tweeted #covfefe! It's a alt right curse on humanity! We'll all be turned into frogs! Does this thing turn up to 12?
It will be a religion of peace once it's the only religion left, and they are working on it.
