It all seems so desperate and a bit pathetic to me. Are we beggers? 

Yes, we are beggars since the time of the loss of the Sikh Raj. This is the unfortunate reality.

They're economic migrants, apne sadly do play the asylum card.

Yes, they are. But so are 99.99% of the people coming from Central America or the other countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh, and so on). People catch a flight or ocean ship to Colombia, walk through Panama, and up to the US border. Where do they (99% being non-Sikhs) get the money to do this?

Because all those other people are taking advantage of the system, I am not going to through our people under the bus.

And there is simply no reason for cutting  people's hair.

There is no more reason for confiscating turbans than there is for confiscating bras.

On the other hand, if the Korans of Muslims were being confiscated, they'd be raising hell.

I am pretty sure that the border agents responsible for the mistreatment thought that they were mistreating Muslims.

remember akal security was doing the same and worse in immigration centres near mexican border to Singh , this included shaving and cutting the Singh's kesh. And 3HO should be respected as a sikh organisation ...haha I don't think so

Oddly enough, when people from Sikh backgrounds do stuff, our enemies benefit from that more than if others starting being against Sikhs.

That's normal procedure. That's why the government had KS Brar lead the attack on Darbar Sahib as well as other Sikh officers. And KPS Gill later.

They might or might not think that. The point is, if they were Muslims, then other Muslims already in the US and their allies would be raising hell, getting word out in media, holding demonstrations, and pursuing legal strategies.

Remember, they did manage to halt and drastically reduce the impact of Trump's Muslim ban through such methods: it ended up being not a general ban but rather just a ban on half a dozen countries already on an Obama watchlist.

The reason the Muslims have allies is because Westerners are always afraid of upsetting the Muslims because everybody knows they'll go crazy.

There is more of a reaction when something affects Muslims because there are around 2 billion Muslims in the world.
