Trump just did a speech on banning Muslims from entering the country…again. Something just did not seem right to me in his examples, so here is my research:
13 were murdered, and 38 wounded, in the assault on Ft. Hood.
Major Nidal Malik Hasan was born in the United States.
The Boston Marathon Bombing wounded and maimed 264 people, and ultimately left five dead – including 2 police officers.
The brothers were born in Kyrgyzstan and came to the United States legally and were young children when they entered. They were also US Citizens.
In Chattanooga, Tennessee, five unarmed marines were shot and killed at a military recruiting center.
The shooter was born in Kuwait, a US ally, came to the US when he was SIX. Also a US Citizen.
Last December, 14 innocent Americans were gunned down at an office party in San Bernardino, another 22 were injured.
The main shooter was born in the United States, the wife was born in Pakistan.
In June, 49 Americans were executed at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, and another 53 were injured. It was the worst mass shooting in our history, and the worst attack on the LGTBQ community in our history.
The lone shooter was…surprise(!) born in the United States.
See a pattern here? After this Trump cites random attacks, around the world, not on American soil. Trump attempts to make the case if we keep these ‘undesirables’ out, these attacks could of been prevented. Did you see a pattern above? That’s right, this draconian policy may of prevented…none of the attacks. These examples seem to make a better case for gun control than new immigration policy. You be the judge.
