“The US has two such models, which have been thankfully relegated to the dustbin of history: Jim Crow and the organized violence against Catholics in pre-Civil War America.” On the topic of legal exclusion let’s not forget the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Johnson Reed Act of 1924.
There's no comparison between restricting immigration to the US and Jim Crow and the anti-Catholic mob violence of the pre-CW era. Zero. One is actual violence and exclusion of people born here, the other is saying, "We have a right to determine the character of our country." I favor restricting Muslim immigration. I think we're on the road to suicide if we don't.
