It's not a ban. It's a pause to strengthen the vetting process. Read the EO. It's temporary.
Right. And I have a bridge to sell you. Even if it were temporary, and there is no real evidence that it is, Trump should have actually thought before acting and made a real plan for how to limit immigration before throwing all these people's lives in chaos. If he had, the courts may have actually approved the plan.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
-Emma Lazarus
God I love this Country
I would think so.
Your first generation family, and yourself as a second generation immigrant, have been given nothing but opportunity and privilege here,
your family has never been involved in a war here but you reap the benefits of our family members who have died while agitating against their interests,
you have the yet before unknown-in-the-world privilege to agitate and complain, which you take to extremes and flaunt in the face of those who want some measure of national control over who can be here to vote,
and you flaunt a globalist poem by a hyper-nationalist Zionist in an attempt to fool readers into thinking that this poem means a single thing in terms of policy or what this nation is.
Your spoiled behavior won't be tolerated indefinitely.
Oh, and the peaceful, largely middle-America conservative and fully integrated German immigrants are not equivalent to Islamists, La Raza Latinos, or any other Leftist minority.
There's about to be a whole lot of triggered Trump supporters.
What a whole lot of Hillary supporters seem to miss is that there is nothing wrong with immigration coming from countries/cultures/religions that want to ASSIMILATE INTO AMERICAN CULTURE. So many of the previous immigrants fled their native lands and demanded that their kids adopt our language, laws, culture to become AMERICANS. They may have spoken their native tongue at home, but insisted everyone speak English in public. They changed their children's names to fit American culture, so Shamus became Shawn, Johan became John, etc.
Now days, you have people intentionally naming their kids with names from a culture they themselves never were a part of, just to flaunt their racial/ethnic heritage.
We have people now wanting to come here and expect we are going to accept their refusal to do the aforementioned, and alter our culture to fit their beliefs.
Remember, when the Irish came here, many of the English "natives" treated them like dogs. Not because of racial differences, as you couldn't tell which was which from appearance. Rather they feared the Irish would try to push their language and religion. Instead the Irish assimilated into American culture, just as the other immigrants, be it the Polish, Italians, Germans, etc.
Yet we have demands on our own citizens that they must accept different laws, culture, even language in the areas they live in. Go to places like Miami, Frisco, LA, etc. and there are all sorts of public communication is various languages. Try getting a decent job without being multi-lingual in those places.
The difference also was conservative adults ran most places, and said "love it or leave it" and the immigrants changed, not the other way around.
But liberals when in power, who claim to be soooo inclusive, decided to accommodate their "cultural sensitivities", and look what that has brought.
So this Budweiser ad will not resonate too well, especially among many blue collar Democrats who likely drink more Bud than do Republicans. They are tired of all the liberal cultural PC crap that has taken over their party, and probably voted for Trump this time around.
So keep it up Democrats, and pretty soon all you will have as your constituency are the atheists, LGBTQQAIIXYZ disgruntled minorities like the BLM types, and people who are dependent on government for their very survival. It doesn't sound like a winning coalition to me.
The Muslim ban was a "shock event' meant create chaos to cover up something else going on, get the dreaded media off reporting about the arrests of three Russian cybersecurity guys for being American spies, or the guy who likely leaked Trump's blackmail dossier showing up dead in the trunk of his car...
It had nothing to do with national security. There was no evidence of any specific threat and no reason to believe that vetting refugees for three years instead of two would make us any safer.
You mean the guy who showed up dead in Russia for making things up that affected international relations between Russia and the USA? And you think that a Trump agent flew to Russia to accomplish this? That was Russia, genius. Anyone who unduly interferes with the world order to that extent, especially as far as Russia is concerned, is going to get offed in Russia. That's axiomatic.
Wahhabist Islamists, and their sympathizers here, observably make this nation and Europe less safe. Witness the mass murders that they routinely occur at their hand. Witness Paris, Berlin, Nice, New York, Fort Hood, and Orlando.
Actually, there are too many to list. Just check the Wikipedia page. This is your proof that Islmists make us less safe, and this does not include their wider murderous history as people who fracture nations:
Oh they drink. When I was in Berlin I almost got into it with a bunch of them drinking under the Alexanderplatz.Lets just say they turn into super predators when they drink.
