Pragmatically, what is wrong with a Muslim ban? How does the US benefit from Muslim immigration?

The US already has no idea how to address its own poverty/violence issues. Why import more?
Of course the vast majority of Muslims are normal human beings with absolutely no intention of sawing off heads, but Islam harbors savagery, enshrines it within its sacred text.
When presented with a significant threat from one thing relative to other things and no intrinsic benefit, how is it rational to admit that thing? We seek to quarantine every other virulence we encounter. Why not this virulence?
Has self aggrandizement so thoroughly perverted ordinary thought that we are incapable of recognizing reason?
Let us continue blindly in our pursuit of moral piety that those who follow us might once again know the misery of a state of nature!

Yes, I know it not a nice thing to do, duh! That not the point.

I would like to say things about the Bill of Rights, but so much of it is discarded when it is inconvenient for the government. As things are I think you have the upper hand in that if we don't have a full-scale revert back to the basic ideas of Liberty it doesn't matter.
My understanding of Islam is that the savagery was added in by a king and not all muslims recognize his additions. The virulence IS the savagery. To set up a test of virulence based on religious texts may not be the best avenue to follow. Maybe, instead, set up a test of virulence based on savagery.
Do any religious texts not include savagery? is this part of your point? No intrinsic benefit sounds like it may be an opinion? Who gets to judge?
I tend to believe that most of the savagery is brought about by tyrannical governments all over the world who seek to impose their own will and destruction on their own and other people. Whether it's through domestic spying and speech regulation/propaganda or bombs and covert-ops and currency manipulation/central banking. should probably add Religion to that as well.
but yea...
