Why Iran is in the ban is beyond me. Well, I know, favorite rightie target. But if Trump were to do this right, there would be one major criteria that is missing: sect. Forget countries. Ban Sunnis, you idiot. They are the terrorists. They are ISIS. That means most of the countries that he left off especially Saudi Arabia, home to the worst of them. Maybe the distinction will be picked up in the "extreme vetting". It should be.
Here's an idea, Lets not take in any refugees., from anywhere.
I think we have done enough, we have policed the world since WW2, we send vast amounts of money to dozens of country's, and the useless UN, We out spend all of our allies combined 10 times over on defence so that they can maintain there social welfare utopia's.
As far as I am concerned we have done our fair share, Refugees will just have to go elsewhere, Nobody will take you, oh well not our problem.
No foreigner of any religion has a right to come to the United States. Solve your own problems, fix your own country and or government or go somewhere else, but your not coming here.
Time to turn on the NO VACANCY sign.

Exactly. If the refugees are such good, productive people, then go somewhere else and build a great country. I won't hold my breath waiting for a great Muslim country though lol
Trump is using an axe where he should be using a scalpel. What he is doing is illegal and wrong. He is a dangerous and ignorant dictator who should be stopped before he destroys the country. He's creating jobs alright--for attorneys. Lots of attorneys.
"...Lawyers for the International Refugee Assistance Project and the National Immigration Law Center filed a lawsuit early Saturday in federal court seeking to release Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, who are being held at John F. Kennedy Airport.
...Darweesh, now 53, worked on behalf of the U.S. military in Iraq for a decade as an interpreter and electrical engineer, earning him a so-called “special immigrant visa” that are allotted to Iraqi nationals who aided the U.S. government during the Iraq War and now face threats staying there. Darweesh applied for the visa in Oct. 1, 2014, which was issued on Jan. 20, the same day Trump was inaugurated.
And Alshawi, 33, was granted a visa Jan. 11 to join his wife and son, who have already been resettled as refugees in Houston..."

The refugee situation aside, WHY should the US base any decision it makes on the actions of some country like Saudi Arabia that has a history of financing radical Islamic schools teaching hatred of the west, practices one of the most radical forms of Islam, and has a horrible human rights record?
It is not about Trump's bottom line. It is about the fact that Saudi Arabia has been a US ally since the end of WWII and always served US interest. So whatever sh#t the Saudi kings did, the US tolerates it (unlike to Iraq or Syria).
Do you honestly think Trump got elected to improve his "bottom line“? I know many love to think the worst of him, but this theory is childish.
Yet none of the countries banned have committed any terror acts since we have been tracking and Saudis (and Egyptians)have.
It is just as important to talk about the countries the Muslim ban doesn't apply to. Conveniently the ones he has businesss ties in - Egypt, Saudi, UAE ....
Exactly. Between media hype, Kool aid drinkers for Trump and all of various knee jerks spouting off there's a lot flying under the radar.
Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest supporters of terrorism in the world. Trump has hotels there though and the Saudi Riyal Family owns politicians all over the Western world.
Wasn't it just recently that you people were trying to accuse Trump of wanting to ban all Muslims from the USA?
Who is you people?
