The Republican establishment group fronted by failed presidential candidate Evan McMullin — which has spent $500,000 against populist conservative Judge Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate race — supports a constant flow of Middle East migration to the United States.
McMullin’s “Stand Up Republic” has spent half a million dollars attempting to help elect Moore’s opponent in the Alabama Senate race, pro-open borders Democrat candidate Doug Jones, as Breitbart News reported.
The GOP establishment organization, though, is vastly at odds with Alabama voters, opposing President Trump’s travel ban, which blocks foreign nationals from a handful of countries that export terrorism, thus supporting a constant flow of Middle East migration to the U.S.
In news releases, Stand Up Republic denounced Trump’s travel ban, writing:

Moreover, the White House has claimed national security reasons to justify this policy, while ignoring legitimate concerns that it will actually make us less safe. As Stand Up Republic co-founder and former CIA operative Evan McMullin said:
“Every single victory in the war on terror has been accomplished with the assistance of Muslim allies, from the intelligence that helped us locate and kill Osama bin Laden to the many local translators throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. The President’s executive order makes us weaker, not stronger, by alienating our allies who risk their lives and the lives of their families to assist us and making our ongoing efforts to recruit new partners even tougher.”
McMullin’s group accused Trump of promoting “egregious misrepresentations” and “scare tactics” against foreign refugees while failing to mention that more than 380 foreign-born terrorists have been convicted in the U.S. since the September 11, 2001, attacks.
When the left-wing Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals initially blocked Trump’s travel ban from being implemented, McMullin’s organization praised the court, with McMullin saying:
This travel ban is motivated by the Trump administration’s political goals more than national security concerns and we are encouraged to see that the court’s ruling highlights the Executive Order’s fundamental flaws, most especially its unequal treatment of people based on religion.
