Isn't that something?But... but... Trump is the bad guy!
ANOTHER THREAD LOGIC HAS NO PLACE IN G. I HAVE 0 ISSUE WITH STOPPING PEOPLE FROM CERTAIN COUNTRIES OR REGIONS FROM ENTERING UNTIL A BETTER PLAN IS PUT IN PLACE THAT CAN FIGURE OUT WHO IS WHO. I DID NOT WATCH THE SHOW, BUT SAW ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE SAG AWARDS SHOW LAST NIGHT. THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN THEIR AWARDS AND SAID THANX AND WALKED OFF STAGE. THOSE EXTRA COMMENTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN KEPT TO THEMSELVES. PERIOD!!!

This is nothing more than a campaign promise Trump made that he is keeping. I have no problem with the ban until we can figure out who these fuckers really are.
As to the BS about what countries were selected for the ban, they were selected in 2011 by the Hillary run State Dep't under Obama. Please direct questions about why they were chosen and others left out to them.

So, the question now becomes, did Trump say Muslims from these countries can not come in, or everyone from these countries can not come in? What if you are a Christian in one of these countries, or a Buddhist? Trump has made a dangerous move and it is backfiring on him.....
He better pass an act quick instead of taking blanket actions..........
Who knows like 9 said, if things do go well with Trump and Theresa May, Imogen might be next

Then if that is the case no one should be aloud in or out. because they are everywhere.
All of his "promises" Have had to be do with Executive Orders, because they are so far out there that he knows they will not just roll through congress, even with them in control

I think (not sure) the restrictions are on everyone until they can figure out how to tell the good guys from the bad.
As for executive orders, I know everyone wailed when Obama issued them... so it's fair to do the same for Trump. In business I figure he's used to getting things done right now. Congress, even in approval, take forever to do anything. He likely sees EO's as the fast track to implementing his plans.

Most of these were done by EO because they rescind or change EO's Obama put in place as is his right as President. To my knowledge, Trump has not issued any EO that replaces or ignores law already in place, only changes how the various departments under his direction implement them.

... but importantly, keep in mind that ANYONE WHO IS NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN has no legal right to enter the United States.
