Rep Goode would like to be able to exclude certain religions. I believe that Rep Goode would be well served to read the document that he has sworn to uphold - the U.S. Constitution
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

Seems to me he is saying pretty much the same thing many former citizens of many ME countries are saying. Newer American citizens, formerly from ME countries have said that political correctness will be the death of America. We have some tough immigration laws, but they need to not only be made tougher, they must be enforced.
We have allowed virtually anyone to wander into America without examining whether or not they might have other motives than just to seek a better life for themselves and their families. My daughter-in-law is Japanese, I had to secure the services of an immigration lawyer ($6,500.00) so she could become a citizen yet, they made her life miserable and she is law abiding, honest and hard working and yet they have allowed a slew of people to waltz into America who very likely may have extremely bad intentions on their minds. Time will tell....

I guess Rep. Goode has taken a look at what has happened to France, and worries for his country. I agree with him. If you will take the time to read the Koran (and you should), you will see the end desire of the muslim faith is to exterminate all non-believers.... THAT is the book Ellison took his oath on... Think about it....

What he's trying to say is we need to be tough on immigration and the companies that hire illegal immigrants.
What came out was "hee-haw, hee-haw".

What he is saying is that if our country doesn't get some tough immigration reform, we soon won't have a country at all...

he's trying to say he's a total schmuck who caters to other bigoted total schmucks in what is, unfortunately, my home state.
as far as the bible's collection of myths versus the koran's collection of myths - are you not aware that the bible is full of instructions to kill nonbelievers?
what is wrong with so many americans today? aren't you embarassed to be so ignorant and so manipulated? you think your little book of bastardized and reworked tales is holy and the muslim's little book of bastardized and reworked tales is not? how juvenile, people. let's grow up and put on our thinking caps, can we?

He's saying that he's a bigot and that he thinks his constituents are too.

Only natural born Christians should be citizens.
PS: Catholics, Mormons, and Episcopalians are not really Christian.
