I could go on but I think point is well established. It is doubtful that any sort of real invasion will happen even under a full-Republican ran government. However, this talk of being suspicious of Arabic-Muslims, ramping up security around such people, and calling for ever increasing attacks in this region is doing nothing to help solve or even seriously address the issue! Again, you're welcome to check the facts for yourself!
