Oh dear, those awful Muslims are in Congress....
Well gee, while this man rails against immigration, perhaps he doesn't understand that there are actual American citizens that have religions different than his. As more Americans of different religions begin running for office, guess what? There might actually be Hindus, Buddhists, and maybe even those horrible Pagans who might actually get ELECTED! Oh dear. What will my state's Congressman do besides wail his pitiful "I want tradition back" cry of the ignorant who truly believe that America was founded on Christianity, despite the huge number of Deists, Masons, etc. who created such small documents as, oh.... the First Amendment!
So, for those of us who actually want immigration reform, this man's stance is painfully annoying. It has nothing to do with not wanting religious or ethnic diversity. It has everything to do with rule of law and what's best for the whole called the United States. There are many of us who embrace diversity, while wanting to keep uphold the law.
Va. Congressman Fears Election Of 'Many More Muslims' - News - MSNBC.com:
WASHINGTON - A Virginia congressman has warned that "many more Muslims" will be elected demanding to use the Quran unless immigration is tightened. Republican Rep. Virgil Goode made the comment in a letter to constituents who had written in about Congressman-elect Keith Ellison's decision to use the Quran at his ceremonial swearing-in.
"I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way," Goode wrote.
"The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration, there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran," he said. "I fear that in the next century we will have many more Muslims in the United States if we do not adopt the strict immigration policies that I believe are necessary to preserve the values and beliefs traditional to the United States of America."
