Some people find value in diversity. Others feel threatened by it. The article was about how the latter has shaped Trump’s immigration policy.

Chain migration shapes his immigration policy as it shapes your immigration values, the difference is POTUS admits and believes this but you would not admit yours.

I'm brown, but I think the United States is diverse enough.

Here's what I was sent:

Japan, something to think about

Japan - some interesting facts:

* Hiroshima has returned to what it was economically before the atomic bomb was dropped.

* Japan prevents the use of mobile phones in trains, restaurants and indoors.

* For first to sixth primary year Japanese students must learn ethics in dealing with people.

* Even though one of the richest people in the world, the Japanese do not have servants. The parents are responsible for the house and children.

* There is no examination from the first to the third primary level because the goal of education is to instill concepts and character building.

* If you go to a buffet restaurant in Japan you will notice people only eat as much as they need without any waste because food must not be wasted.

* The rate of delayed trains in Japan is about 7 seconds per year!! The Japanese appreciate the value of time and are very punctual to minutes and seconds.

* Children in schools brush their teeth (sterile) and clean their teeth after a meal at school, teaching them to maintain their health from an early age.

* Japanese students take half an hour to finish their meals to ensure proper digestion because these students are the future of Japan.

The Japanese focus on maintaining their culture. Therefore, no political leader or a prime minister from an Islamic nation has visited Japan; not the Ayatollah of Iran; the King of Saudi Arabia or even a Saudi Prince!

* Japan is a country keeping Islam at bay by putting strict restrictions on Islam and ALL Muslims.

1) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.

2) In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims.

3) There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan

4) In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.

5) One cannot import a 'Koran' published in the Arabic language.

6) According to data published by the Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 2 lakhs, Muslims, who must follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry out their religious rituals in their homes.

7) Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of embassies in Islamic countries.

8) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies.

9) Even today, visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies.

10) In the majority of companies it is stated in their regulations that no Muslims should apply for a job.

11) The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist, and even in the era of globalization they are not willing to change their Muslim laws.

12) Muslims cannot even rent a house in Japan.

13) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the whole neighborhood stays alert.

14) No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic 'Madrasa' in Japan.

15) There is no Sharia Law in Japan

16) If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim, she is considered an outcast forever.

17) According to Mr. Kumiko Yagi, Professor of Arab/Islamic Studies at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies: "There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is a very narrow minded religion and one should stay away from it."

The Japanese might have lost the war, but they are in charge of their own country. There are no bombs going off in crowded business centers, no "honor killings", nor killing of innocent children or anyone else.

Something to think about.

I have a friend that works in Japan 4 months a year at a ski resort there and he loves it there. This is his third year there and he can't wait for Dec. to come so he can go over there. He has never had a problem or even seen a problem while he has been there.

Could be baloney, FanDan, yes. I don't believe all the stuff I read is completely accurate.

snopes.com, for instance, is a pretty discredited site as a 'fact' checking media.

I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.

What a refreshingly safe place to visit, Japanese immigrants are welcomed.
My best friend from 15 until he married and moved to another province was Japanese, his whole family was a charm to know.

I've met this man a couple times. Brings an interesting perspective to the whole DACA discussion.

The unspoken belief on the left is that the evils of this country stem from white (male) identity politics, and that Trump is the personification of that evil.

Liberals are reacting to the fact that the Democratic Party was once the party of the white working-class voters, and they lost that solid support. The most recent example being those voters switching to Trump. Diversity is seen as the "cure" for the white majority in this country, and the supposed resulting "white privilege".

That is the idea behind the dens "big Tent."
All kinds of people, lots of diversity.

Too bad it turned out to Ringling Brothers' tent and it is filled with a freak show!
And to prove my point, they just lost the election by running the FAT LADY!

If you look at the discussions in the liberal media about the 2020 presidential election, there appears to be one point of general agreement: the Democratic candidate should not be a white male.

I’m sure whomever sent it to reckless has other redeeming features.

The Japanese constitution doesn’t allow discrimination by religion and their immigration forms don’t even ask for a religious identity.

Not that facts ever get in the way of a good anti-immigrant screed here but it’s still worth the effort of noting when demonstrably false information is being passed off as fact.
