"Moynihan argued certain cultures are not compatible with the United States. Which ones? Phillip pressed multiple times. Well, if we look at Europe, actually, there was a lawyer this week who argued that an Afghan immigrant who raped a woman shouldn't be charged or shouldn't have a penalty because his culture said that women weren't free and equal. We're seeing 77% of rapes in France are from migrants."
"The cultures that are okay with female genital mutilation, Moynihan said. So I mean, is it it Afghanistan? Is it Africans? What is it? Phillip asked Phillip argued culture is a hard thing to define and leads to broad generalizations. What about the people fleeing female genital mutilation? Are you gonna allow them in? Are they allowed in? I mean, if you are if you are Somali,"
A televised panel featured a tense exchange about whether immigrants from cultures that tolerate female genital mutilation or restrict women's rights should be admitted to the United States. One participant cited a legal defense for an Afghan immigrant and statistics about rapes in France to argue cultural incompatibility. Another participant said culture is difficult to define and warned against broad generalizations, asking about refugees fleeing harmful practices. The exchange raised questions about vetting procedures, public safety concerns, humanitarian obligations, and how to balance admitting those escaping persecution while addressing cultural practices.
