Of course, the most important question will be: Do you like Donald Trump? Yes __ No __ Only certain people will be allowed in.

The only question!

So on the issue of trump's ideological test on gay rights ...
It is OK for many of his supporters, and ultra-conservatives, to be against the expansion of rights for the LGTB community, but not the immigrants ?
How is this an acceptable position ?

Have Trump said it it OK?

[Erich Maria Remarque]

Immigrants are already more liberal on social issues than native Americans, if how we vote is any indication. If we really wanted them to assimilate, we should test them for social conservatism. The problem with this test is that, any opinion will be suspect. I'm glad I immigrated here when there was no such test, so I can say my socially liberal views are as genuine and unselfish as those of any native born American.

You don't understand what immigrants will be targeted by such test, do you?
Hint: not blue-eyed Swedes

l'm not sure why I'm looking for sense in this, but I'm very confused how this is supposed to work. The average Muslim immigrant to this country is educated, and even sure if they don't believe in whatever requirements Trump wants, they're likely smart enough to know what they're supposed to answer...

There is a highly unlikely explanation. They just really support it.

Note, not just immigrants supports Trump's call. Majority of Americans do as well.
