Illegal immigration reduction is not xenophobia. Or is immigration law xenophobic ?

Islam is not a race or an ethnicity it is an ideology. If Scientologists started killing people, what would happen ?

What if the security guards at HSBC started killing every 1,000,000 customer? Would HSBC get government attention ?

Participation in NATO is a financial issue. Spinning non participation in multi-country deals as being caused by not wanting to engage with foreigners because they are foreign is ridiculous.

Well, HSBC has already been laundering billions to the Mexican cartel. No one was arrested, just a $1.9Bn settlement.
