According to NPR this morn the world is really mad at us for Trump,s new immigration rules. France is talking about "pushing back!!). Iraq wants to deport all Americans. Oh my my what would we do without being allowed to "visit" lovely Iraq?
Poor innocent refuges are being detained unlawfully in American airports where lawyers from the ACLU are arguing with the hard headed immigration officers to release the sweet innocent refuges who only want to become good Americans.
"We've gotten reports of people being detained all over the country," said Becca Heller, the director of the International Refugee Assistance Project. "They're literally pouring in by the minute."
Maybe someone should have told them not to come?? Gonna be a very interesting ride. So Far So Good.

Heck! I've known their true feelings for many years now!
Basically, all of the countries that have always hated us behind our backs are now just coming out of the closet to let us know that they HATE us!

Yep. F'em.
America First.
Finally.
I hope Trump and congress cut funding NOW to this slime pit. A horrible waste of my tax dollars.
It is true that most of the world hates us. But I have always believed that the reason that we are hated is because we have proved everybody wrong. The American way of life works. We theoretically judge based on performance, and not on background, religion, ethnicity, etc.
I personally think that Trump is telling the rest of the world that America is scared. I don't think that's a good thing at all.
NPR is a DEMOCRAT party sewer.

Not such a good thing to be hated.

NO!! He is telling the rest of the damn world that we are still America and still Americans!! I do think my country is better than any other. I don't doubt some people from other countrys feel the same about theirs and I respect them for that but America should always come first to an American.quote:Originally posted by Jgreen

I agree Ricci.
Jgreen - better to be proactive than reactive. Our families, and way of life, are safer without this scourge on our shores. Only to have them "demand" Sharia law etc. etc. These people do not want or desire to assimilate.
Let all the Muslim countries over there, take them in, if they are so concerned.
(But) That is not their plan is it??
Anyone with half a brain, can see what their plan is. Invasion by refugee'ism.
No Thanks.
Anyone not been paying close attention to what has been happening in Europe??
Do you actually desire that for our Country?? Really??

The judge in NY made the correct decision, IMO, to let holders of valid visas enter the country. The proper order would have been to stop the issuance of visas to people in these countries or who had spent time in these countries. Once our government has granted the privilege, it should not be rescinded by the stroke of a pen. Obviously there would not be significantly more support for a visa ban, but it would have been a much better approach.
He inherited a system that needs to be changed, and while I would agree with the intent of the change, we as a nation would have been better served had it not been crafted in a manner that ripped the rug out from beneath so many people who followed our rules only to be denied and have their lives turned upside down by a Presidential decree.

Won't be shelling out zillions of benefits money to these crap holes when they have a disaster.
When they actually have a disaster is exactly when we need to shell out the monies, and in quantities large enough to make a positive difference. The continuous dribble of funds to buy their goodwill, however, needs to stop.

Homeland just announced they are Enforcing the Ban.
And libTURDS are going ape poop.
LOL
That's a good point,Don. I can agree with you on this to an extent.My argument would be,what about the radicals from terrorist countries that were issued these visas from the last administration? I'm sure you and I can agree that the vetting process up to this point has been pretty lackluster.

It depends upon who you believe regarding vetting, SG. There are stories that some folks from these areas have been vetted for upwards of two years prior to have been issued a visa. There is a real problem in that it is probably impossible to properly vet people from Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. My only thought at this point is that in the interest of being a country that stands by our promises, we should at least consider honoring all valid visas, accepting whatever risk that entails. If there are thousands of them out there from these countries that have not yet entered I could be convinced to re-evaluate my position. From what limited information I can see, though, the numbers are in the hundreds, not the thousands.

Do you actually desire that for our Country?? Really??
yes. they do.
isn't that exactly what "The Left" has been doing to this country all along, with their own ideals?
Why don't they open their borders to the dangerous, extremist countries around them? That would prove their point.
Well said Sir.
Look how well that is working out for Europe.
We need that here??
I think not.
They lost control of their country, partially due to the poor way that GWB handled the occupation, but life isn't fair!
For a decade or more, any terrorist, any soul who wasn't interested in anything as much as leaving home and killing Americans or Muslims of a different sect, could enter the country and start to fight in the insurrection. -Come to think of it, they might have been flocking here too, but probably not. We don't have a massive insurrection fueled by foreign Jihadis like Iraq did.
There aren't explosives galore lying around in the US. There's plenty of Saddam's old artillery shells, rockets, etc in Iraq, stolen and hidden when Saddam's army was disbanded. Those roadside bombs are sometimes made from an old shell. I couldn't obtain high explosives to go blow up foreigners if I tried.

what about the Americans that have been shaping their lives for generations , at what end do they have to give up their slice of the pie and American dream
life is full of disappointments, it doesnt mean we should give up what we all have worked for so someone that hates us can have it

Yes,....it is what they have been doing. Quite successfully I might add.

We issued visas with little getting by the stroke of a pen, but rescinding them by the same stroke to be better vetted is wrong? Sorry, can't agree, Don.
The 'so many people' seems to be 107 on US soil, and 177 on the ground in other countries. 325,000 other people from foreign countries entered the US yesterday.
I hope no one is being fooled by the 'spontaneous' demonstrations that popped up yesterday. Those folks were ginned up for their Snowflake meltdowns, and planned to trigger them as soon as ANY immigration EO was issued. It wouldn't have mattered if the EO just said the people from those 7 countries had to wipe their feet before coming in.
As we are seeing on GB from the usual suspects, the lies were ready. 'The countries not listed are where Trump has business interests.'. 'Muslims are being discriminated against.'
No mention that the 7 countries were already under restrictions issued by Obama and the Congress.
It is especially nauseating to see the disingenuous concern for religious discrimination, when none of these leftist pantloads have shown any concern for the actual discrimination against Syrian Christians the Obama administration has been doing.
The dishonest bleeting from the herd was going to come. Better to pull the trigger and let the opposition show their dishonest nature.
The only thing that bothers me is I was planning on going to Mosul or Syria for vacation this year. I guess I will have to settle for the Grand canyon and the mountain man museum in Colorado.
Moving forward I don't see how wording the ban differently would have accomplished the goal of keeping out undesirables until Congress gets off its lazy * and passes meaningful legislation to CONTROL our borders and set guidelines for immigration.
Even during the potato famine in Ireland 1845-1850 when 1.5 million fled starvation we still had orderly intake of these people based upon the 1819 immigration law.
Today, it is an unmitigated disaster caused by party politics and a useless Congress, now led by two sissies.
mualim countries WILL NOT take muslim refugees....they knew something we could not grasp...and the protesting world should plainly define our foreign aid policy
Yep. GOOD POINT:
Shiite don't want the Sunnis and vice versa. They despise each other and will do great harm to each other as well.
These DEMOCRATs that are so upset with Trumps decision to ban Islamic refugees into the USA need to ask themselves why do they kill and murder Christians and Jews that immigrate to their countries.
If your angry at us don't take our aid money
If your angry at us don't seek refuge here
If your angry at us don't buy our products
If your angry at us don't accept Nato benefits
If you as a nation don't like our laws than reciprocate with your own rules and legislative action
If your angry with us than shun us and ignore us or exclude us
