It will be interesting to see how much the Muslim ban and trump's other hateful rhetoric hurts international tourism this summer. There have already been reports that it's down. Who can blame people from not wanting to come here and subject themselves to this?
By September we should hear from hotels, restaurants, theaters, and other international tourist hot spots about how much their revenues have been impacted by donny two scoops.
About the only thing it stops is tourists. If you have family, work, or school (probably about 99% of those coming from these countries), you can still come to the US. Yet, it is a big win. Yeah, right. That about like saying, I found a quarter on the street, now I'm rich.
At this point..to the Trumpets...any win..any win at all..is a big win.
How about that health care again? Now that..would be a big win. This, this is a 'so what'.
Had Trump been able to keep his yap shut..there would have been no issue..as the President has the right to limit who comes into this country. But Trump had to find some red meat for his base..so he made it about a religion--well it worked--he got elected. Too bad this will do nothing to stop terrorism--but that was never the point, was it?
Nah. The Liberals are opposed to it because it has Donald Trump's name on it. They don't mind terrorists coming over, apparently.... I think they might "mind" if one of their family members is on an airplane that has a homemade bomb planted inside a laptop of a nut-job terrorist, flying in from one of those countries.
I'm not a fan of Trump's. I'm not against a slow down in issuing visas and refugee status or a review of immigration practices and policies.
I'm concerned with the incompetence that resulted in the chaos on that first week end. Folks with legal status and documents denied entry, stranded in other countries because this administration's rookie moves meant they never thought the original order through.
I'm concerned that the focus of the original order has been lost in the battle to win in the courts. The order was implemented -- apparently -- to 'keep us safe' while the immigration policies were reviewed and if there were any concerns, they would be fixed.
The whole making sure the immigration policies & practices are effective has been lost in this battle to just ban people from those countries.
Now we are spending time and money fighting this order instead of actually working on the immigration policies that control who is granted legal status.
Welcome to the club, Waldo, we haven't taken you guys seriously since this whole election thing began !
The reason it is "no big deal" is because it is NO BIG DEAL. The SCOTUS accepted a watered down version of his original plan, and, in reality, not much really changes. People will still come and go, as long as they have legitimate reasons, and Trump wanted so much more that he did not get.
Now, let's talk about that wall. What happened to that little brainstorm of his ? And how is tossing out Obamacare going ?
Let's talk about the Wall. Construction of prototypes begins in September!
Nope -- just past history -- 9/11. I know it was such a long time ago but it is difficult to not reflect on the fact that most of the hijackers were from there....even the woman who was involved in the San Bernardino attack lived in Saudia Arabia for some time.
So you don't know. You simply state it as disingenuous argument against Trump.

"About the only thing it stops is tourists."
Really?
How about refugees from the 6 countries?
Oh, you don't know what the EO says.
What a surprise!
