The parent asked a question "Preventing immigration from groups statistically likely to commit terrorist acts?" and I answered it with a rhetorical question based on historical fact. Jewish refugees were returned to Germany under the auspices that they might be Nazis and threaten the security of the U.S. and they were murdered as a result.
The context of this entire thread is an executive order made on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day in part, we remember how complicit we were in the murder of Jewish refugees by not protecting them, all because we were scared of hypotheticals rather than stand up for refugees. The ensuing national guilt is why we established the refugee policies we've had since WWII. Those policy makers refusing these refugees deserved to be called scared bunny rabbits, that's what they were and innocent people died because of the con game we played: that refugees were likely to commit terrorist acts. Calling them scared bunny rabbits is a kindness, and it is polite, and it is civil. Imagine what I really think.
