You mean like African Americans?
Actually I did not even mean that when I wrote it (although reading it now I can see why you might have thought so). My point simply was that when it comes to Muslim immigration there is an identifiable group of people who contain amongst them elements who pose a threat to us, and we are entitled to keep them out- entirely if necessary, or at least until we can fashion a framework bye which we can eliminate the danger. I would not say that criteria applies absolutely to murders in Chicago, firstly there is no clearly identifiable group (and frankly despite what you thought I meant, I would not say African Americans are all part of the same group just because they share a skin color) that is overwhelmingly responsible, and even if there were being that they are citizens of this country, they are subject to the criminal justice system as opposed to simply just not letting them in. Whereas with Muslim immigrants, since as a group they clearly contain elements which are threatening, it would seem to in fact be obligatory to try to keep them out until we can ensure that no undesirable and dangerous ones are slipping in along with the rest. It's awful for the inncent ones who will suffer due to this, but we are not obligated to harm ourselves for their benefit. Capisce?
As for the various comparisons to Jews fleeing the Nazis, you might say that this is only with the benefit of hindsight, but the facts show that there was and is no danger posed to America by Jews, whereas we can unfortunately not say the same about Muslims.....
