chewy Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/27/politics/donald-trump-refugees-executive-order/ Quote Trump barred citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for at least the next 90 days by executive order, which a senior White House official said later Friday is likely just a first step toward establishing a broader ban. It's unclear how many more countries will be added to the list, but the official said the administration will be "very aggressive" as it weighs how many more countries to add to the list.Asked what criteria the administration will consider as it looks to expand the ban beyond the initial seven countries, the official said simply the "mandate is to keep America safe.""Not going to take any risks," the official added.That's just one part of the controversial executive order Trump signed Friday dubbed: "Protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States." Many of the provisions in the order are consistent with Trump's campaign pledges. Here's a breakdown of what the executive order does.The executive order bars all people hailing from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen -- or at least 134 million people, based on 2013 World Bank census data -- from entering the United States. Those countries were named in a 2016 law concerning immigration visas as "countries of concern."But the executive order also makes clear those seven countries are just a starting point for a likely broader ban.The order exempts diplomats and members of international organizations from the ban. Surely this a bit extreme, especially unfair on Iraq, after US illegally invaded Iraq and killing thousands of Iraqi civilians. And what about Iraqis who worked with the US army. More countries are likely to be added, already Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan citizens will be under "extreme vetting", in others unofficially they are probably on the ban list. Also seems even dual-nationals will be banned. Edited January 29, 2017 by chewy velu, zen and MechEng 3

Laaloo Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Amazing. There are homeless people in the country. There are people with unemployment. There are veterans who fought for this country who cant get medicare. yet every tom dick and kal penn are protesting because we placed a temporary ban on a few muslim countries. Canada can take as many syrian refugees as they can as long as they dont cross the border. Canada will pay dearly for their decisions. randomGuy, Cricketics, GoldenSun and 1 other 3 1

Why didn't he ban people from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Chechnya which have sent terrorists to USA? Something to do with his business interests. Can't believe this defense. This is unprecedented and it will isolate US from the world. GoldenSun 1

Texy Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Many of those Muslim countries deny entry to citizens of Israel simply due to them being Jewish but u'll never hear any Muslim protesting. Hypocrites. Edited February 1, 2017 by Texy Laaloo, randomGuy, Malcolm Merlyn and 5 others 8

Hypocrites. Bcz they simply don't recognize Israeli state... so Trump should rather call back all ambassadors, end every diplomatic ties and close all embassies in these countries and even make USA to withdraw from these country recognition ;) KeyboardWarrior 1

Also Kuwait has similarly banned a few countries similar to what Trump has done. When it comes to discrimination,Arab countries are the worst . beetle 1

But countries like US: The Super Duper Democracies, Human Rights, utmost Secularism, right of Free Speech etc etc can't follow footSteps of those Fundamental Muslim Countries na? and what's the diff if country like US ends up following the same pattern...

dial_100 Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 We only expect fairness from others. We ourselves cannot demonstrate any of that sort.
coffee_rules Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 I don't think Israel will allow visitors from Iran, Lebanon freely into the country. It cuts both ways.
Stuge Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Heard somewhere He wants to ban Pakistanis,Saudi Arabians and etc too Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
King Tendulkar Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Great move by trump no idea what controversy is . Every country has right who enters the country and wether to get visa or not . Nothing new . Just co last trump done it people up in arms people from some countries acting like its their right to go to USA indians going to U.K. Often don't get visas but from Canada to U.K. They all get visas. And many other examples of countries letting people from some in no issues and others no . trump is right . Potential jihadis coming in from like Syria why on earth should they let them in . Also so these guys all moaning but still desperate to go USA . Muslim counties should take Muslim refugees makes sense GoldenSun and beetle 1 1
