156. You want to discriminate on the basis of the purpose of a visit too?

You're surely not saying that seeking asylum makes someone more likely to rape, are you? That if it was an young single Iraqi male who wanted to come to Europe to study, you'd be fine with them, but if he was fleeing for their life and asking for asylum, you'd kick him out?

No, I don't think you were. So, If you'd keep an Iraqi male student out of Europe because you don't trust their record of violence and discrimination, then the record of young American males is also crap. You'd need to keep Americans out too, if you're not being bigoted against certain ethnicities.

Then, of course, you'd need to get international law changed, to allow you to deny asylum to people you don't like. That, of course, is the elephant in the room so many DUers are ignoring. Countries have an obligation to give asylum to people who claim it on their territory. Canada is able to say "we won't invite single males to come here", because they're not about to cross the Atlantic anyway. But these asylum seekers cross a few miles of the Mediterranean, and they're in Europe, where international law says they can claim asylum. And the same international law forbids discrimination on the basis of gender.

Tell you what, start a thread saying you want Obama to advocate discrimination on the basis of gender in the UN, to get the world to agree to that. It will be interesting to see how many DUers are supportive.
