I am at a loss as the US has failed to protect translators and other Iraqi/Afghani support staff (who they promised they would protect by allowing them to immigrate to the US). That said I do understand where Trump is coming from. That said how about banning/deporting Saudi Imams preaching hatred and jihad in the US. Perhaps if the US/Europe had been more targeted in the past not allowing these Imams out of Saudi we would not have this issue now. Even though Saudi terrorists carried out the 9/11 attack and constitute the largest number of foreign volunteers in ISIS, Trump and his advisors will never ban or even criticize the Saudis. Hypocrites like Trump know that they are too wealthy to risk offending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmypassword Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Actually, since the sept 11, 2001 attacks, no one in the USA has been killed by anyone who emigrated from those 7 countries. Nor by anyone whose parents emigrated from those counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U.S. is a country that was founded by immigrants and a huge part of the purpose freedom of religion. What Trump is doing here (banning people from these Muslim countries, while allowing for Christians from those countries to get in) goes directly against that. If there was some outstanding circumstance you might be able to understand it. As is, the number of muslim terrorist caused deaths is lower than the percentage of muslims in America. It makes up less than 1% of the murders in America. It makes a lot of press though, and that has been used to create the false perception that muslims are a danger where other groups are not. It's judging a large group of primarily peaceful people by the worst of their religion. That would be no different than judging Christians by the abortion clinic terrorists.

How can you bar US citizens from returning to the US ? Isn't getting US citizenship enough "extreme" vetting This is what happens when "outsiders" craft executive orders that won't pass legal muster. This administration is going to go down in history as being the most litigated in US history Sent from my Nexus 5X using Thaivisa Connect mobile app He is not banning U.S. citizens. Some people with "green cards" are being stopped at airports in the banned countries. Those with Alien Registration Cards "green cards" are permanent residents, not U.S. citizens.

So more alternative truths told by the MSM then ? as your quite correct green card holders are not US citzens, and therefore the phrase dual citizens in their case is not true either, they are not dual citizens, they are citizens of 1 country with Permanent residence in the US Edited January 29, 2017 by Savilesghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 That nice Mr Obama would never have done anything as nasty as banning refugees for 4 months.

CWMcMurray Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Its one thing to propose more stringent vetting of those seeking asylum or refugee status...A completely different thing to ban those with legal visas or green cardsAm glad to see the Federal judge jump in on this one, as this deserves to be overturnedSent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
