Does this not refer to illegal immigration?
Nothing in the article is about illegal immigration, nor is the discussion of a Muslim database about illegal immigration. It's a red herring. We already have immigration databases.
This is how the alt-right derails discussion. They exploit our preference to treat all arguments as valid until we're at the point of debating whether mass deportation of ethnic/religious minorities is okay. The growing and vocal influence of the alt-right on HN should not be ignored.
The evidence is that many people on the other side of the isle are more than comfortable submitting articles from Daily Kos, Huffington Post and Salon.
