This one is particularly interesting, given the events of the day:

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/1459106...roposal-update

Basically, Adams (who is refreshingly non partisan), observes that Trump laid the groundwork of his "crazy" muslim immigration policy in anticipation of events like today in Nice. Or Orland. Or Turkey. It's a big master class in confirmation bias. Now, while no one likes the idea of a ban on Muslim immigration, it is currently the only plan that has been suggested by any candidate. (Trump knows that the Clinton/Obama camp and their followers will offer little more than platitudes and hashtags.)

Now, a large percentage of the population now longer views the muslim ban as extreme as they once did.



Neither Adams, no myself are endorsing Trump's policy here, but rather putting for an analysis of the strategy.

That's all fine but I'll bet you five CP bucks that the driver was French born. Immigration isn't the problem. The main problem is that out of all minorities why Muslim youth in western societies are unhappy. I'm a Canadian-born child of refugees/immigrants, so are a lot of you on here. And we're all happy to be here. Why are these people not? What's their beef? That's the issue to address.
