Who do you think would be imposing and enforcing Trump's religious test? It would be the Government.Oldbear83 said:

Pretty silly take.
First, the First Amendment says Government may not establish a state religion. It never said people could not practice their beliefs freely and openly, in fact it says the opposite. Frank seems to be confused by ACLU and other fake rights groups, who lie about the Constitution to attack religion where they don't like it.
Second, no one is "requiring" immigrants to "adhere to a particular set of religious beliefs", but denying that the United States has been Christian in character and moral foundation for pretty much its whole history is really dishonest, but again that's what Democrats do.
But to Whiterock's point, the one Frank ducked, every country has a culture, a way of life that immigrants should reasonably try to support and join, simply because that makes their own life better. The US has always been more free than most nations in its defense of religious choice, including atheism, paganism and in the case of the Left, Moron Worship.
But every community prefers the new resident who pays his way, does no harm, is courteous and tidy, and respects the traditions in place where he arrives. Newcomers who do not work, leave trash in their yards, who are rude to their neighbors and disrespect the community are unacceptable, no matter where they come from, California, Mexico or wherever.
No one is denying our history. But that history includes tolerance of other religious beliefs. That concept is enshrined inthe First Amendment. You can't ignore it.
You apparently understand the concept becuase you admit that we have traditionally been free in our defense of religious choice. The point you obviously do not understand is that Trump would change that freedom by requiring deference to Judaism or Christianity as a condition of immigration and therfore as a condition of citizenship other than by birthright.
Your last paragraph is either irrelvant or implies that only Jews and Christians mow their lawns.
