Irrelevant comment, not sure where you pulled that one out of! I'm lamenting how permanent US Residents can't return to this county because of our illustrious President. Not sure how you saw Yemen and how nice the people are...

I am sure they are pretty nice people though. Most people are.

Appears to me that they just plumb forgot this might affect traveling legal US residents who are from the proscribed nations.
Not to mention a lot of these people likely have US citizen spouses and children that they are now cut off from.

No thought given to this action whatsoever beyond the superficial.

Also, you can kiss cooperation from intelligence assets in these countries goodbye. We are not going to be safer.

I find it interesting that Saudi Arabia isn't on the list of banned countries, even though Saudi Arabia is the mother ship of radical Islamic extremism and exports it all over the world. And their citizens can still get a visa and come to the US. Didn't really make sense, but then I remembered, Trump does business in Saudi Arabia.

Unknown number of U.S. permanent residents stuck overseas as a result of Trump's immigration ban - LA Times

They're also the #1 foreign customer of America's MIC!

Coincidence they're getting a pass?

I think not.

This is not the President I wanted. Sadly, this is what I'm stuck with. He is going after the legal immigrants. Who comes next?

Uh--we have US troops over there fighting al-Qaeda. They will no doubt be ejected.

You people do not get it.

This is how world wars start. This is what everyone meant when saying Trump is dangerous. He is dangerous.

He is drunk on power with moron Bannon at his side egging him on.

And Trump, being absolutely ignorant of US federal law, and of pretty much everything else, has no clue what he is doing. He does not know the implications of what his ignorant actions are. He is worse than Kim Jong-un because he is not as smart.

Huge protest at JFK airport right now, this was dumb beyond belief. Imagine if one of these people being returned get's killed, Trump's staff needs to wake up.

Cry us a river. Green card holders are not citizens. This is the work of liberals, having for so long made our nation a free-for-all. Ripping off a band-aid, after wounding yourself with so much excess, always hurts.

There's no need to rip off the band aid, just have a bit of common sense instead of burning down the house.
