Nobody seems to understand that, and it's infuriating just how stupid people are

I guess we don't understand the "alternative" facts. The actual facts are that legal green card holders and visas are being denied.

OldNameOldBlood
Honestly... I think the issue is illegal immigration... which is a rampant problem currently
silver6kraid
However, building an absurdly expensive border wall won't solve the problem since it's been proven to be an ineffective solution.
OldNameOldBlood
Read below
birrdd123
Where was it proven ineffective? Actually curious. Not arguing the point. Also, is it supposed to just be a wall? I figured it'd have 1/2
birrdd123
sensors/cameras etc to catch people as they're "climbing" and the wall would just be there to delay for patrol. Again, i actually dont know.
MadDucks
one
DavosWritesInShortHand
It's proven to be ineffective because the highest percentage of illegal aliens in the country started out with valid visas they overstayed
MadDucks
*one E.O called for 5000 more border patrol agents to be hired. but most of them make garbage pay, so ... we'll see how many apply.
OldNameOldBlood
Oh no I think the wall is a ludicrous venture however my stance is, go through the process and become a legal citizen or get the Fuck out
silver6kraid
Many of the drug cartels use tunnels to get in and out of the country. A wall won't stop that. That's just one example of why it won't work.
GoDrunkYoureHome
But it is hard to hide a tunnel big enough for a truck to drive through.
OldNameOldBlood
They're crafty bastards, our BP agents find tunnels, new ones every now and then
DrFender
But it somehow supports the sinister point comrade Trump is making that immigration is bad for US.
Nuncio29
Maybe that’s his whole point.

Donald Trump isn't banning immigrants from Slovenia
adaylateandaeuroshort
I'd say he hasnt met Iranian women yet, but he was behind the international beauty contests so he has extended knowledge in thet field
Rocketwilco
Does no one care that Obama has stopped our acceptance of Cuban refugees?
PurpleDinosaurs
Not true. They have to go through the same process all immigrants have to now.
FuzzyX
What rocketwilco meant is that Trump at the current time has totally closed the refugee program affecting refugees from all countries.
HeavyMetalMonk
And also Iraqi.
brother1
Nope. I'll be blaming it on Trump in 4 years regardless of whose fault it is.
RubberCatTurds
It's a paradox. Without immigration, Trump's mother wouldn't have been in the US to have him.

It's LEGAL vs. ILLEGAL immigration. We want immigrants to come here legally from nations that don't openly support terrorism.

That isn't even logic. That's illogical.

orbobb
wait what. and he is banning Iranians? hahaha
BrocStefan
Serious question: has he explained this action at all? I've been looking for coverage of it being talked about in an interview.
datma
He did an interview with ABC, that's where he pulled the 9/11 and San Bernardino cards. He also tried to delegitimize ABCs coverage of him.
BrocStefan
The same one from 2 days ago? You wanna see someone delegitimize our news, you should watch the interview with the chinese ambassador. lol
orbobb
wait what. and he is banning Iranians? hahaha
KaneVel
Fun Fact: Melania Trump broke immigration laws by working without a green card.
Bigaron74
First. You are wrong she did have a visa. But she started working to early. Second off she only worked For about two weeks before
KaneVel
First. Nothing I said was wrong. I didn't say a word about visas. Second, She still worked without a permit, therefore breaking the law.
Bigaron74
You absolutely were wrong. Working before being allowed to technically does not violate immigration law.
IntranetButler
Trumps past family is German

I doubt his granny would behead anyone or bomb people.
itinerantmarshmallow
Well she was German, so historically, if we lump in an entire group in with one describing action she would gas them pretty good.
HariboGangsta
She. Was. Scottish. And immigrated here legally. Just like Melania. Build the fucking wall.
BriBriTheShyGuy
Did she immigrate from a country we are fighting in?
titsnsplits
This has nothing to do with who we're fighting
ExcuseMe2
Are we fighting Syria or isolated cells in Syria? Do you even know? We declared war? When?
BriBriTheShyGuy
Yes, we are fighting terrorist cells in syria, no we havent declared war on syria. We arent at war with any country. We are at war with a
BriBriTheShyGuy
Group of people the operate withing several countries. Preventing people from those countries to immigrate here is a logical countermeasure
BriBriTheShyGuy
When you cant easily differentiate between the enemy and just some bloke from syria.
ExcuseMe2
It is not a logical countermeasure since it inherently operates on this fear mongering premise.
ExcuseMe2
Can you seriously not understand why this doesn't make sense and isn't logical? It never has been. It just leads to targeting minorities
AdaMR96
That's not a paradox, just irony
SerFapalot
no, Trump is banning immigrants in past, present and future, he will use time machine to stop christopher columbus from discovering america
SerFapalot
so no one will ever immigrate to america ever, which means he will never be president of usa, so this is paradox

mediaman73

No there aren't. There's no Constitutional grounds for secession so the rebel states never really left, Constitutionally-speaking.

The Supreme Court ruled on it in 1860.

Texas is it's own Republic IIRC, never officially rejoined the union. I say, build the wall. Just put it on the northern border of Texas.

To all the people talking about legal immigration, Trump literally just signed a ban on legal immigration from Muslim countries.

From Muslim countries that are filled with terror

Yet not, say, Saudi Arabia, the main source of terrorism and funding and spreading radical Wahhabi extremism across the world.
Rocketwilco
Just 7 where Sharia is strong, and Obama had already suspended visa's from them. Does it bother you that Obama stopped Cuban immigration?
ItsRealTalk
7 that didn't include 4 nations from which 9/11 hijackers came from or the one foreign nation that one of the SanBern shooters came from.

So, you want more of a ban.

Right..all? Not even close
TormentedPenguin
Really.. so Saudi Arabia isn't muslim.. how about Oman.. UAE, Tunisia, Bahrain, Pakistan, Indonesia? He banned people from troubled spots
Paprika6
To be fair, there are far more muslim countries than the, four? that were banned. Or am I missing something? I dont agree, but distinctions
smittywjmj
Seven, but yes, it's a minority. It's not even a majority of Muslims population-wise, most of those are in southeast Asia.
MindlessChaos
It was from 7 countries which were deemed higher risk UNDER OBAMA.
Anon7091
Not from Slovenia, so...
dietderpsy
It is a ban on countries with a high degree of Anti US terrorism, Saudi should be on the list.

Which is interesting because allegedly during the signing he made comments on Iraqi countries

Halt, not ban. He wants the DHS to review the vetting process to make sure fraud can't happen. Will it work? Who knows

Great, get those murderers out of my country.
vegeta420gokublazerbieber
People wanted it. A tougher stance on immigration was one of the things people wanted. Educate your neighbours.
vegeta420gokublazerbieber
I'm looking at Europe and wondering if mass immigration from countries with opposite ideals is all that great, but I'm guessing it's
vegeta420gokublazerbieber
A long-haul kind of move
ItsRealTalk
A tougher stance on immigration should mean more guidelines and a more thorough examination of immigrants, not blanket bans.
Vostronicle
A pause to get shit in order is not a blanket ban. Let's look at the bigger picture and aim of the exercise.

Banned from counties with these people called t e r r o r I s t s. They are the ones that want to chop off your head or run you over.

Guess what, that list of those specific Muslim countries was already prepared by the previous administration.

So why does this mean I should support a total travel ban?
votfgz
It doesn't. But the fact similar ban was up in 2011 on Iraq means that everyone who didn't oppose it back then but does now is a hypocrite.
saltandvinegarrr
They would be hypocrites only if they supported the 2011 ban, and I hazard most Americans simply didn't know about it

The nature bans have changed as well. The 2011 policy ended all visa applications from Iraq, not travel, and it was a reaction to (1)
ItsRealTalk
Since it's coming up often in conversations, I did overreach when I simply said "Muslim countries". I should have said "7 countries 1/2

with primarily Muslim citizens." Regardless, it's a ban on legal immigration, and one unlikely to do much good for anyone. 2/2
DiscipleOfHelix
No, he signed a ban on TERRORIST PRODUCING REGIONS, that just happen to also be muslim. Unless being muslim and being a terrorist...hrmmm
FuoccoBlue
He signed a ban on immigration from nations that support terrorism. The actual order says NOTHING about Muslims. Read it.
neoritter
No, he banned acceptance of refuges from 7 countries.
Affriction
Muslim countries with history of terrorism you meant to say. If over half of Muslim's held very radical and backwards beliefs I wouldn't 1/2
Affriction
Want them to immigrate to our country. Call me a bigot or w/e, but I care about our ideals and I don't like to see it undermined by islam.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
"Muslim" countries. So not secular countries that have a high population of Muslims?
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Hint: it's actually countries that have a high concentration of Muslims, who also happen to believe in Sharia Law.

EXCEPT THE ONES WHERE HE HAS HOTELS! lol

You'll notice that the Muslim countries his company is invested in are not banned...
itsthevoiceman
So a huge number of people from Indonesia aren't going to be allowed here? Goddamned fuckface of a POTUS.
jimmyriba
Nope, Trump has business interests in Indonesia, so they're allowed, like Saudi Arabia (main exporter of terrorism), Egypt and Turkey.
itsthevoiceman
But Indonesia houses the majority of Muslims. So the ban isn't on Muslim nations?
Butane9000
Look up US Code 1182. It's perfectly legal.

Isn't the text banning standard visa's from countries that are A. a risk. B. known to provide little or poor information on visa's ?

Trump was never the partisan Republican that the GOP wanted anyway, that was Cruz. Trump is the Bernie of the right in that way.

Wondering when the US Supreme Court is going to step in and say something?
Bloodandpheromones
They need a case first. Step one is underway - cases filed in District Court.

They could, and say he's okay to do it. Court precedence says it's okay.

This will also probably affect businesses as well. I heard that a number of Google employees couldn't enter or something.

Would you be so kind as to point me to the section where legal visa holders are to be barred? I'm having trouble finding it on my own.

a 120 day ban

90 day ban on immigration and non immigration visas and 120 day ban on refugees

Which is still a ban on legal immigration.

Ban vs suspension
Usernameisalreadyregisteredwasalreadyregistered
Temporary. Until things are better under wraps. Which is absolutely not the implication we're given from propagandized protests like this.
dell1862
Temporary ban is probably a good thing. We really need an overhaul of our immigration system, because it sucks atm.
Usernameisalreadyregisteredwasalreadyregistered
shit sorted. Lovely people. Never been against making it easier for good people to enter legally.

I'd agree. I work with a hard-working couple from the Dominican Republic who have been here years and are still trying to get their (1)
HeavyMetalMonk
From war torn countries. Obama did the same thing btw. There are other Muslim countries that are not named in the temporary ban.
HeavyMetalMonk
I have to say, I really don't like trump and I resent the fact I have to defend him due to the hysteria over this. We should be better
saltandvinegarrr
If it is, the only thing it does is prevent people from entering the USA without a visa. Trump's ban extends to all travel, which is absurd

If about Obama just google Obama freezes immigration from Iraq. He did the right thing imo. Immigration is good but we should be smart.
HeavyMetalMonk
Source for what exactly? That Obama did it too? Or that it's only 7 countries?

Obama did not do "the same thing". Is this the policy you're talking about?

He banned immigration from Iraq. And changed the policy for Cuba too. But hey, he's not trump so it's ok?

So if Obama makes bad policy, and Trump makes bad policy, we should all support bad policy?

He gets profits from some. Prove he gets profits from all that aren't named if that's your argument. Egypt, turkey, etc.
