Please don't use double negatives.

Isn't this the real reason people wanted a policy action (needed or not)? He fucked up IMHO with the green card matter but that is already over.

It absolutely explains the ban. Those areas have produced people that are willing to take lives in Europe. Is the US only allowed to cease taking refugees from an area when one kills someone on US soil? Why is that?



I have no idea why I said al-Awilaki. I meant Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the Ohio State attacker.



What is the masimum time a refugee must be in the country in order to tie their admittance to the country with anything they might do later in life? 2 years? 3? 10?

If Adan and his family were not admitted into the country in 1996, what is the probability he still ends up stabbing 6 people in Minnesota?

See there you go again. I am not butthurt by the election. I have not tried to delgitimize the election. I have pointed out to the yappy's like you that MANY more people voted for the other person, so they need to listed to what the other side has to say. The hypocrisy is the "mandate!!!!" people who say DJT should get to do whatever the fuck he wants when they spent the last 4 years doing everyhing they could to stop Obama who did have an actual landslide victory. Trump is acting more like an emperor than Obama ever did, yet this seems to be OK with everybody on the Right.

If a terrorist nuts on a pillow in the US and then leaves the country, are we still at risk?

So two invalidate the majority. Get a fucking grip. Stop watching kids cartoons and realize a country has a right to protect its sovereign borders and population

By the way, it was Iraq, not Syria. The situations aren't even close to comparable. Obama's temporary ban on Iraqis was implemented after a foiled terror plot by Iraqis living in Kentucky.

Can you at least try to understand what you are complaining about?

I don't think people on the Right are embracing Trump. In fact, I'd suggest that the real American Right is just about dead, replaced by this isolationist populism whatever the fuck it is that Trump is selling.

No, I'm talking about Syria. Do a little research and find out how many Syrian refugees we've taken in since their civil war started in 2011.

True story, a pastor in my neighborhood was trying to help a (Christian) Syrian family re-locate here because they were on the brink of being snuffed out by ISIS. He reached out via social media for minor donations, clothing, household goods etc.

The majority of the reaction was backlash.

"WHY CAN"T WE HELP DA VETS INSTEAD OF DESE ARABS(yes because helping a refugee forbids you for helping other charitable causes).

"I FEEL FOR DESE PEOPLE BUT I'M CONCERED ABOUT DA SAFETY OF MY FAMILY"(yeah, cause you know, fucking jihads happen all the time in Plainfield and Naperville)

The sad reality, is the majority of Trump's base is white, low IQ, not every well educated, naive, racist and xenophobic. The "refugees" are now a convenient "target" for them, to blame all the failures in their life. Ten years ago it was the black community and "Afirmtiave Action", till they realized the blacks were not taken their jobs. Now they need a new demographic to target.

This EO has no explanation and does absolutely nothing to make the United States safer. There's a good argument to be made that it makes it more dangerous.

That's a different discussion then, centering on whether our core values of diversity, in fact the very way this country was founded and turned into an industrial superpower, necessitate dealing with an increased risk (don't deny it is an increased risk) of fatal criminality born from a certain facet of the whole group of people that wish to live in this country.

It very well might, but you asked for the impetus of the ban, not whether actually effectuating the ban is at odds with the nation's longstanding values. A handful of people, separated by time and space, whose only common thread is a certain brand of a certain religion, all decide to murder innocent people in the Western world, abusing a facet of globalization (open immigration and asylum) as a vehicle to deliver death...that's not concerning, and shouldn't be concerning to elected officials whose bailiwick is defense and immigration (technically, "naturalization")?

Since about 2013 Muslims & Christians about the same # of refugees: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20 ... o-the-u-s/

The U.S. brought in 12,000 Syrian refugees since the Civil War, and 10,000 in 2016 alone.

12,000 in five years is nothing. what did the rest of the world do in comparison? how many people died in the war?
