The Anti-Refugee Movement Is America at Its Most Ignorant
Trump supporters are organizing a boycott of Starbucks again. This time, the crime isn't an insufficiently Christmas-y cup, but the company's pledge to hire 10,000 refugees.
Columnist Michelle Malkin ripped the decision as evidence of "radical progressive" tendencies. Her piece in the National Review, entitled "Not All Refugees Are Welcome," expressed everything that is wrong and ignorant about the Trump movement.
Forget about the obvious deficits of humanity, empathy and generosity, always a given with Trumpian politics. The president and mouthpieces like Malkin are also deficient when it comes to values they profess to care a lot about, specifically patriotism and self-interest.
Malkin made a list of refugees who are not welcome:
"Muslim extremist refugees seeking to wage jihad on our soil and kill all infidels are not welcome here.
"Anti-American refugees seeking to transform our society and culture into a Balkanized hell are not welcome here
"Jobless refugees seeking to soak up our tax dollars while griping about our lack of generosity are not welcome here."

Isn't Michelle Malkin an anchor baby? I know she's of Filipino descent. I remember she used to write a pretty poor right wing column for the now defunct Bellevue Journal American.
