The only resistance is from the liberal fortresses called Metro America. Those small dots of blue that litter that beautiful sheet of Red.. The massive heartland is holding up the middle finger in your face.
What makes this country great... We are not Europe.
They have to go through immigration upon re-entry, same as US citizens with US passports. Immigration detains and further investigates anyone who arouses suspicion. That's just the way it works. There is no magic free pass that lets anyone, not even US passport-holding citizens, from bypassing that process.
Those who travel internationally know this.
Yes, that is how it works already. I've been through it a time or three, and I'm good with it.
I for one am very proud of the spontaneous protests that broke out at airports across the country over Trump's outrageous EO. This is the America I thought we may have lost, speaking out against injustice. While anti-immigrant sentiment is nothing new in this country it has never before been promoted by our president.
It might serve current republican politicians well to remember that Trump did not even carry a majority and many who did vote for him were the "Hold your Nose" variety. The more outrageous Trump gets without republican pushback, the more vulnerable these politicians will be to even a primary challenge ala Tea Party.

And if something is found to be suspicious, they are subject to a little American tradition known as DUE PROCESS.
They are not barred from entry, as these people are now.
Trump, June 2015-election day: "build a wall" and Mexico rhetoric
Trump, Dec 2015-election day: Muslim ban and "extreme vetting" rhetoric
....January 2017/the present: "shock!" and "disbelief!" from Liberals that Trump is actually following thru on his campaign promises
Have leftists not been paying attention for the last 18 months?? Been living under a rock? There is no real "surprise" by any of these unfolding events for those of us that pay attention
Liberals never believed he stood a chance, and that mentality lasted all the way up to that glorious day (Nov 8). It's not a matter of not paying attention. It is a matter of denial. That denial is now turning to fright and anger. And rightfully so. Trump has a lot more tools to work with to get things done.
I will be honest. I sometimes feel like a bad person for speaking my mind. Example, my personal opinion towards torture, illegal immigrants, muslim ban.. etc.
First of all, I don't believe all illegals and all Muslims are bad people. No, I don't believe that at all.
This said, I don't think people should always have this one sided conversation. Either, or, black or white, you vs us.
I think the key phrase is " UNTIL WE HAVE REVIEWED THE SITUATION AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON"
Does anybody here think we should carefully reassess our ability to screen applicants to our country? Does anybody think it may be a good idea to track activities of those recent arrivals? Would anyone consider slowing that immigration process down until we can ramp up our capabilities to properly protect ourselves?
If not today, what is your threshold for giving consideration to that tightening?
So as distasteful as this sounds, that may mean racial profiling in terms of immigration restrictions/checks and even internal surveillance.
It's also about a syrian green card holder returning from Canada.
Canada and Mexico are just 2 adjacent countries from which one can return after traveling abroad. One could have been anywhere in the world prior to that. Much like illegal aliens are flooding the Southern border, but they're not all from Mexico.

Research Ellis Island......
The people that can look past the tip of their noses, are smart enough to see what the future brings.
Ellis Island returns, for good reason! The majority of people and most importantly States, have demanded it.
The times we live in.
Adapt, or become extinct.
