Yes several mass shooters had allegiance or fondness for ISIS (Washington Mall shooter, Orlando Shooter)

However, ISIS had been begging people to shoot and kill during several events in the US to no avail.

This may push some of the crazies sympathetic to ISIS in the US over the edge.

They have become too used to other Countries fighting their fight. These cowards need to get into THEIR game.

They all complain we are in the middle east yet they all want to leave it.

I'd be ok with that if they'd assimilate when they come here but they don't want to. Almost as bad as illegals.

The bolded is why it was exactly what they were hoping for. Their recruiting had dried up, but this will give it a big boost.

Yes, but the media won't mention things like Mexico having a more restrictive and arguably racist immigration/naturalization process.

However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Trump botched this up pretty bad.

To block reentry of green card people who may have been away on business and have families is pathetic.

And they are at the airport why? To get in the way of other people traveling?

To support those who....aren't at the airport due to the ban? I'm assuming.

Wow!

That is so deep and poignant I almost cried. To compare the restriction of immigration from terrorist nations to the Holocaust is so warped and misguided that only a liberal could come up with that analogy.

Message to dems: The citizens of the world are not US citizens and have no "right" to come here unless we say so.

It's really fun to see that "First they came for..." thing posted a million times a day isn't it? I think everyone who does it thinks they are being original and clever.

Or perhaps they think it's important to repeat it.
