that is the key element of the nationalism is that the nation comes first. so we have that in this country where if there is a war, somebody can't just say i don't want to go because it's against my religious beliefs. you have to demonstrate through a quite utile process that you are part of a religious tradition that has issued all violence no matter what because the nation has to assure that has citizens that will ultimately support it, and so i think that might be one reason for this kind of emphasis on persecution. also there is nothing that helps to define the insiders rather than outsiders and so just as the united states has its own history which the forefront on the particular episodes like the revolution in which there's a rejection of the british even as there is an acceptance that much of the federal culture came from britain, so many religious communities undoubtedly have an kutz emphasized the persecution in order to help to demonstrate through its members what is to be part of this religion, what defines them as different from others and it dem

by spies, criminals, and other national security threats. i and others have asked for more information about the potential national security vulnerabilities in the program and we have received no answers. what we do know is that director mayorkas dramatically expanded a program that the administration, even d.h.s., believes for a threat to national security. and according to a draft report by the inspector general, he did not take the actions that he should have taken that were at his disposal to fix these vulnerabilities and make sure that this visa program wasn't bringing spies, terrorists and other threats into the country. finally, i would say that this vote is not fair to the department of homeland security. d.h.s. is the agency we trust to secure our borders, make our skies safe and help our nation protect ourselves from terrorism. we know that the department has faced many challenges and has often struggled to execute its responsibility over the past ten years since its inception. and d.h.s. has had some of the lowest morale in the go
