Trump to Call for New Ideological Test for Admission to US

Understanding basic civics and taking an Oath are not part of any ideology. What if the "ideology" test were used to bar immigrants from a particular faith, or political view? Both are violations of the Constitution. One does not have to support gay rights to be a citizen. If that were the case, then many on here would be stripped of their citizenship. The same can be said about abortion, civil rights, women's rights, and a host of other political views. It is the right of every American, however wrong and misguided, to be as intolerant as they want to be. To make it a part of a test for immigration would be to violate the Freedom of Speech and Religion that these immigrants are coming here to exercise.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think being intolerant is a good thing, but I recognize the right of everyone to be intolerant. I also know that conservatives like to cloak their agendas in ways that make them sound benign. If Trump wants a "test" support for tolerance and pluralism, then he most likely will enact a test for the exact opposite.

TSgt Anthony Elmer - That does not mean that it was Constitutional then, or now. It was just never challenged in court. We interned Japanese-Americans during WWII, does that make interning Muslims now the right thing to do? Past mistakes do not justify future mistakes.

So, if the internment camps were done by a Congressional Act, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court, it wouldn't have been a gross violation of the civil rights of American Citizens? Can you really make that assertion?

Agreement between all 3 branches does not make it right, and, as pointed out by the Conservatives, the Supreme Court has been wrong before.

Not only unconstitutional, but just plain BAD.
