It represents the most dangerous form of bigotry: that which is disguised as patriotism. It also bastardizes our most fundamental immigration value. We have always given highest priority to accepting immigrants fleeing oppressive regimes. For instance we have accepted Cubans with open arms.

This piece states that we should not accept Muslims until their nations embrace democratic change. I find this passage to be the most hypocritical:

"At the very least, our immigration laws should exclude entry from Muslim-majority countries unless and until those countries expressly repeal repressive sharia laws (e.g., the death penalty for apostates) and adopt American standards of non-discrimination against, tolerance of, and protection for religious minorities."

These standards seem to elude the author's values.
