What is interesting here is that all of your cliched and uninspired SJW folk who hang around P&R here are so outraged over the "Muslim Ban". First of all it is not a ban on all Muslims. It is a ban from 7 specific countries. To call it a "Muslim Ban" is to publicly admit that you believe in fake news. The other issue here is that these P&R Social Justice Douchebags were silent on Obama's Drone Bombings of innocent civilians as well as being silent on Obama's Travel Restrictions on Iraqis. I challenge any of these people to post a link to a single public post in the past where they were critical of Obama. Yet when Trump has a 7 country temporary travel ban these people act like Hitler rose from the dead and all hell breaks loose. Keep up this senseless identity politics and Trump will easily win the next election.
Nice deflection pussy. Oh my! Obama puts a travel restriction on a nation we were on an active conflict in 2011 after a confirmed national security threat is recognized. Totally the same.
Donald J. Trump 1 hr · Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting “America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave. We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days. I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”
Trump has made a mistake here in not going far enough thereby giving the idiot left an opportunity to accuse him of targeting a Muslims, which of course this travel ban is not doing specifically, but we are talking the idiot left so... What Trump needs to do is close the door completely. No new immigrants period, from anywhere for the next six months. This gives us time to fix the broken and easily gamed system. This would be the prudent thing to do, damn the political heat from those to fucking stupid to admit how broken the current system is. He'd take heat either way, might as well do it right.
Christians are being persecuted by muslims because of their religious beliefs. The Refugee Act specifically lists religious persecution as a ground for admitting refugees. Muslims are not being persecuted for religious belief. They are caught up in a civil war essentially. The last administration bears a lot of responsibility for fomenting the war in Syria, but Trump had nothing to do with it. We have a new administration and it has no duty to put americans at increased risk due to the idiotic policies of the prior administration. Indeed, voters repudiated those policies, immigration most specifically.
While I agree that Christians face a swifter punishment by ISIS, let's not make it sound like they've been tolerant of moderate and quasi-secular muslims.
Thats what Trump however said.go read it. Trump makes every effort to slide on the "being taken seriously scale" by international leaders as fast as he can to finally converge with Berlusconi or possibly even beat.
