Sob refugee stories. We don't owe refugees a damn thing.

Just more liberal whining huh...wonder how our founding fathers would view immigrants and refugees

As for GOP members of the House of Representatives, Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania echoed Sasse and Flake's concerns that the ban is too far-reaching, as well as questioning how it will affect U.S.-based multinational companies.

"This order appears to have been rushed through without full consideration to the wide-ranging impacts it will have," Dent said in a statement to ABC News. "As a result, I fear that this order may imperil lives, divide families, and create uncertainty for many American businesses that operate internationally."

He added, "This is unacceptable and I urge the Administration to halt enforcement of the order until a more thoughtful and deliberate policy can be instated."

Dent also said that he had been working to assist a Syrian Christian family who held valid visas but were detained at Philadelphia International Airport and forced to leave the country.

Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a libertarian whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from the Middle East, wrote a series of tweets Saturday slamming Trump and his executive order.

"Like Pres. Obama's executive actions on immigration, Pres. Trump's executive order overreaches and undermines our constitutional system," he wrote, adding, "It's not lawful to ban immigrants on basis of nationality. If the president wants to change immigration law, he must work with Congress."

In another pair of tweets, Amash wrote, "The president's denial of entry to lawful permanent residents of the United States (green card holders) is particularly troubling. ... Green card holders live in the United States as our neighbors and serve in our Armed Forces. They deserve better."

His final tweet read, "While EO allows admittance of immigrants, nonimmigrants, and refugees 'on a case-by-case basis,' arbitrariness would violate Rule of Law."

GOP Reps. Mike Coffman of Colorado and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania also questioned the effectiveness of the administration's order.

Fitzpatrick, a former FBI special agent, said in a statement the action "entirely misses the mark," while Coffman said he opposed a travel ban based on "ethnic or religious grounds."

Moderate Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement the order is "overly broad," and called its implementation "immediately problematic."

"For example, it could interfere with the immigration of Iraqis who worked for American forces in Iraq as translators and body guards -- people who literally saved the lives of our troops and diplomats during the last decade and whose lives are at risk if they remain in Iraq."

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, called on Trump to more narrowly tailor the visa ban to reduce "unnecessary burdens on the vast majority of visa-seekers that present a promise - not a threat -- to our nation."

"Have you noticed? There has been more outrage from the left over Trump’s so-called Muslim ban, than over terror itself.
More gnashing of gums and loud wailing, more placards decrying the plight of a few tourists and travellers, than over the bodies blown apart by Islamic extremists at Brussels airport in March last year.
So much collective outrage, in fact, I wonder how on earth a ban imposed by 16 countries on Israeli citizens has remained in place for quite so long with such quiet acceptance."

It's funny that the same group that demands that women not be allowed to have abortions because every life matters, doesn't care about a child refugee...not our problem.

In response to "black lives matter" you say "all lives matter"...except refugees fleeing for their lives. Hypocrites.

WH defends Holocaust statement that didn't mention Jews

BY JESSE BYRNES - 01/28/17 11:27 PM EST

<article class="node-316718 node node-blogs view-mode-full clearfix" about="/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/316718-wh-defends-holocaust-statement-that-didnt-mention-jews" typeof="sioc:Item foaf

Former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, who also served as ambassador to the U.N. under Obama, tore into Trump on Saturday for releasing a statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day without mentioning Jewish victims. "What sickness enables a statement on [Holocaust Memorial Day] that ignores 6 million Jews! Just imagine the response if Pres. Obama did that," Rice tweeted.
The Trump administration on Saturday defended the White House statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day released the previous day following criticism over it not mentioning Jews or anti-Semitism.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN that "despite what the media reports, we are an incredibly inclusive group and we took into account all of those who suffered."
Hicks reportedly provided a link to a story that noted that while 6 million Jews were killed by Nazis, another 5 million non-Jewish people were killed under Adolf Hitler.
CNN said it asked whether the White House was suggesting Trump omitted a reference to Jews as Holocaust victims out of concern it would offend others targeted by Nazis.Hicks responded, "it was our honor to issue a statement in remembrance of this important day."
The White House statement mentioned "innocent people" targeted by Nazis but didn't mention Jews or anti-Semitism, which CNN noted drew a contrast from past statements by former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
The Anti-Defamation League's Jonathan Greenblatt called the omission "puzzling and troubling," noting that it was a departure from past GOP and Democratic presidents.

[h=1]Surprise and Disgust: What 6 Silicon Valley CEOs said about Trump's ban[/h]JP Mangalindan 5 hours ago

President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration order signed late Friday caused an uproar among the tech elite over the weekend.
The executive order bars people from seven primarily Muslim countries — including Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen — from entering the US for at least 90 days. (On Sunday, though, the Trump administration said green card holders from those countries wouldn’t be barred from entry.)

<figcaption>The chief executives, investors and entrepreneurs Yahoo Finance spoke to over the weekend expressed either surprise or disgust at President Trump’s most recent executive order, which spurred protests across the country over the weekend. Source: AP Photo/Elaine Thompson</figcaption></figure>The chief executives, investors and entrepreneurs Yahoo Finance spoke to over the weekend expressed either surprise or disgust at Trump’s latest moves.
“I fundamentally think it’s a disastrous idea and policy, between the moral ramifications and the moral issues around it, which is blocking refugees of countries that, in some cases, are dealing with some pretty significant atrocities, is a huge moral failing of the country,” Aaron Levie, chief executive of Box (BOX) told Yahoo Finance, cautioning there would be major consequences to blocking off the country from large populations of people.
<figure id="yui_3_12_0_1_1485797858312_7173" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">

<figcaption>Brit + Co CEO and founder Brit Morin. Source: Fortune Live Media</figcaption></figure>Brit Morin, CEO of the Do-It-Yourself-oriented lifestyle startup Brit + Co in San Francisco, contended her business — and Silicon Valley overall — will be significantly influenced in the months and years to come as Trump pursues a “protectionist” philosophy that favors “America First” and ignores the important contributions immigrants can make to the US economy, particularly to tech.
“The effect this will have on innovation and our competitive advantage aside, the pain that others in our community and their families are facing is heartbreaking,” Morin told Yahoo Finance. “So many of the greatest companies in the US were built by descendants of immigrants — Apple, Facebook, Google, etc. If we start restricting the influx of different cultures and new ideas on any level, it will have a negative impact on our growth as a society. Diversity makes us stronger.”
For other tech entrepreneurs, the immigration ban struck on a more personal level. That’s not exactly a surprise, given roughly 50% of the country’s “unicorns” — private companies with $1 billion-plus valuations — have at least one immigrant founder at the helm, according to a report last March from the National Foundation For American Policy.
“My family and I, and thousands of Soviet Jews like us, came here as refugees in 1991, running from an unjust regime that persecuted us simply for who we were,” recalled Max Levchin, ****** (PYPL) co-founder and CEO of the credit startup Affirm. “As a nation of immigrants, we must not close our doors to refugees, and those willing to contribute to America’s success.”
<figure id="yui_3_12_0_1_1485797858312_6727" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">

<figcaption>****** co-founder and Affirm CEO Max Levchin. Source: Getty Images</figcaption></figure>Adrian Aoun, chief executive of the healthcare startup Forward, echoed Levchin.
“As a French-Lebanese immigrant, I wouldn’t be here without the open-arms of fellow Americans,” Aoun said. “My work at Wavii, Google and now Forward has been done hand in hand with Muslims and immigrants from across the world. People are not their religions or their countries, they’re our brothers and sisters. Together we are stronger.”
The big question is: now what?
Members of the community such as Hunter Walk, a partner at the San Francisco-based venture capital firm Homebrew, are taking action. During the final months of the 2016 presidential election, Walk led an effort in which over 320 companies, including Square (SQ), Twilio (TWLO) and Spotify, gave their employees time off on Nov. 8 to their cast their votes in the presidential election.
<figure style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">

<figcaption>Homebrew partner and founder Hunter Walk. Source: Noam Galai/Getty Images for TechCrunch</figcaption></figure>Now, Walk is helping lead the charge with Project ELLIS (Entrepreneurs’ Liberty Link in Silicon Valley ). Started by venture capitalist Michael Dearing, Project ELLIS is focused on helping employees at smaller companies, particularly those affected by Trump’s executive order, with immigration issues.
“Many of us in the tech community are enraged by the events of the past week,” Walk told Yahoo Finance. “Not surprised, because we’ve taken Trump both literally and seriously since he began running a scorched earth campaign for the presidency, but angry that our other elected officials have failed to put country ahead of party. We see which politicians in both parties are standing up and fighting — and will put our dollars, voices and talent behind them now, in 2018 and beyond.”
Others such as Levie made donations to the American Civil Liberties Union, which raised $19 million between Saturday morning and Sunday evening and received 150,000 new member sign-ups.
<figure id="yui_3_12_0_1_1485797858312_7305" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">

<figcaption>Eventbrite CEO and co-founder Julia Hartz. Source: JD Lasica/Flickr</figcaption></figure>Meanwhile, Eventbrite CEO Julia Hartz spent the weekend scrambling to assess whether any Eventbrite employees — 10% of whom work in the US on some type of visa — were impacted. (None were.) Now, she and her husband Kevin also plan on finding ways they can lend the ACLU further support.
“As an events platform and as a ticketing platform, we’re able to provide more support to organizations that want to bring people together for information or for support,” Hartz explained. “I’m working with a team on how we can support the ACLU on the platform. Then I’m giving a call for open ideas because I think more and more things are coming together like Project Ellis.”

These tech entrepreneurs are raising their voices along with heavyweights in the tech world who have already spoken out, including Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg, and in the case of Google (GOOG, GOOGL) co-founder Sergey Brin, joined the protests.
Their actions over the last 18 months herald a new chapter for a much more politicized Silicon Valley, an industry where quiet donations once sufficed as “political activism.” But Trump’s anti-trade, anti-immigration rhetoric during the presidential campaign spurred many members in tech to also weigh in heavily on social media, host fundraisers for candidates, and encourage involvement in their community. The president’s executive order is the latest in a series of decisions to catalyze the technorati’s political participation.
<figure id="yui_3_12_0_1_1485797858312_6973" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">

<figcaption>Samasource and LXMI CEO and founder Leila Janah. Source: Fortune Live Media</figcaption></figure>“The executive order does not directly affect me — my family are all US citizens — but it does make me wonder who is next on the list,” explained Leila Janah, CEO and founder of Samasource and LXMI. “If Trump can ban visa holders and dual citizens from entering the country, what else will his administration dare to do? It appears that women, religious and ethnic minorities, the LGBTQ community, and low-income people are all at risk of having basic rights curtailed under Trump.”

Right now, there is a Muslim entering the United States. They are coming from Paris, or London, or Madrid, or Tokyo, or Beijing. No one is stopping them. No one is sending them home or detaining them. It isn’t happening because there is no Muslim ban in the United States. It doesn’t exist.
Despite the meltdown over President Donald Trump’s recent immigration order restricting travel visas for seven countries, there is no Muslim ban. Of course, that hasn’t stopped #MuslimBan from becoming a thing in the hyperbole world of social media.
Twitter’s 140 characters aren’t designed for deep discussion and certainly not for deep thought. That’s why it’s the perfect hangout for so many in the media.
The order merely suspends the issuance of visas for Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen while the Department of Homeland Security reviews and strengthens the vetting process of individuals traveling to the United States. Ultimately, the goal is to make sure people entering this country are who they say they are and intend no ill will toward American citizens.
It may be extended or maybe it won’t. In the meantime, exceptions can be made on a case by case basis.
That’s prudent considering the government of several of those countries is in shambles and others, such as Iran, are certainly no friend to the United States. Should additional countries be added? Probably. And Trump’s order allows that based on the recommendation of cabinet members.
The order also suspends the refugee resettlement program for 120 days. That program will ultimately give priority to people who are being persecuted for religious reasons. Considering it is Christians who are being beheaded by Muslim terrorists, we should probably find out why more Muslims than Christians were permitted into the U.S. in 2016.
Certainly some Muslims are under attack from other Muslims in Islamic civil wars. That’s undeniable, but the fact that Christians are the favored target is also undeniable.
The fact is, all seven of these countries were already under travel restrictions put in place by former president Barack Obama. The concerns that caused Obama to initiate the restrictions in the first place have only deteriorated.
Funny how the Chicken Little crowd didn’t hashtag Muslim ban when Obama issued his order. Of course, this is the same crowd that thought he could do no wrong and Hillary couldn’t lose. Even now, most of them have been too busy wetting their pants to realize Trump simply upped the ante that Obama put in the game.
After eight years of the anti-Obama crowd criticizing every decision he made, you can bet your bottom dollar that the anti-Trump crowd will r<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w

It’s been noted that no foreign nationals from the seven countries—Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, and Yemen—have committed acts of terror on US soil since September 11, 2001. In fact, none of the 9-11 attackers were from any of those countries. It has also been noted widely that the predominantly Muslim countries which are excluded from the ban are nations where Donald Trump has business interests.

Former New York mayor Rudy W. Giuliani said President Trump wanted a “Muslim ban” and requested he assemble a commission to show him “the right way to do it legally.”
Giuliani, an early Trump supporter who once had been rumored for a Cabinet position in the new administration, appeared on Fox News late Saturday night to describe how Trump's executive order temporarily banning refugees came together.
Trump signed orders on Friday not only to suspend admission of all refugees into the United States for 120 days but also to implement “new vetting measures” to screen out “radical Islamic terrorists.” Refugee entry from Syria, however, would be suspended indefinitely, and all travel from Syria and six other nations — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen — is suspended for 90 days. Trump also said he would give priority to Christian refugees over those of other religions, according to the Christian Broadcasting Network.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked Giuliani whether the ban had anything to do with religion.
“How did the president decide the seven countries?” she asked. “Okay, talk to me.”
“I'll tell you the whole history of it,” Giuliani responded eagerly. “So when [Trump] first announced it, he said, 'Muslim ban.' He called me up. He said, 'Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally.' "
Giuliani said he assembled a “whole group of other very expert lawyers on this,” including former U.S. attorney general Michael Mukasey, Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Tex.) and Rep. Peter T. King (R-N.Y.).
“And what we did was, we focused on, instead of religion, danger — the areas of the world that create danger for us,” Giuliani told Pirro. “Which is a factual basis, not a religious basis. Perfectly legal, perfectly sensible. And that's what the ban is based on. It's not based on religion. It's based on places where there are substantial evidence that people are sending terrorists into our country.”
It was unclear when the phone call Giuliani took place and when the commission began working. An email to the White House press office was not immediately returned Sunday.

Entry to the United States is being refused to legal residents, including green-card holders, from seven mostly Muslim countries who were abroad when the executive order was signed Friday by the president.

Clips of the exchange between Giuliani and Pirro quickly went viral Saturday night, with some claiming that Giuliani's statement amounted to admitting Trump's intent had been to institute a ban based on religion.
Others, including Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, have insisted it is not a ban on Muslims, but rather one based on countries from which travel was already restricted under Barack Obama's administration.
<iframe id="google_ads_iframe_/701/mob.wp.politics/blog/the-fix_1" title="3rd party ad content" name="google_ads_iframe_/701/mob.wp.politics/blog/the-fix_1" width="300" height="250" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" data-integralas-id-8ebc0405-8647-12e1-5264-f7518e8a8417="" style="box-sizing: border-box; width: 300px; border-width: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;"></iframe>

Priebus appeared on CBS's “Face the Nation” Sunday morning to say it was possible Trump would expand the list of countries included in the travel ban.
“You can point to other countries that have similar problems, like Pakistan and others,” Priebus told host John Dickerson. “Perhaps we need to take it further.”
Priebus also said there had been weeks of work and “plenty of communication” between the White House, the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security regarding the ban.
“We didn't just type this thing up in an office and sign up,” he told Dickerson.
Later on the same program, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) called out Giuliani's interview with Pirro from the night before.
“They can't deny that this is a Muslim ban,” Ellison told Dickerson. “On the campaign trail, [Trump] said he wanted a Muslim ban. ... Rudolph W. Giuliani who helped him write it said that they started out with the intention of a Muslim ban and then they sort of 'languaged' it up so to try to avoid that label, but it is a religiously based ban.”

Senate Democrats vowed to draft legislation to block the travel ban.
“We’re demanding the president reverse these executive orders that go against what we are, everything we have always stood for,” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a news conference Sunday morning, noting later that his middle name, Ellis, was originally inspired by Ellis Island.
<iframe id="google_ads_iframe_/701/mob.wp.politics/blog/the-fix_2" title="3rd party ad content" name="google_ads_iframe_/701/mob.wp.politics/blog/the-fix_2" width="300" height="250" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" data-integralas-id-278a8886-6bb8-f585-9b34-97e685607baa="" style="box-sizing: border-box; width: 300px; border-width: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;"></iframe>

“It was implemented in a way that created chaos and confusion across the country, and it will only serve to embolden and inspire those around the globe those that will do us harm,” Schumer added of the ban. “It must be reversed immediately.”
Trump's executive order sparked massive protests at airports around the country Friday and Saturday, as reports surfaced that dozens of travelers from the affected countries, including green-card holders, were being detained.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuitSaturday morning challenging Trump’s order after two Iraqi men with immigrant visas were barred from entering the United States at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
As Giuliani was speaking, Fox News simultaneously aired an alert that noted federal judge Ann M. Donnelly had issued a stay to stop the deportations nationwide.
Donnelly wrote that there was a strong likelihood the order had violated the petitioners' rights to due process and equal protection by the Constitution.
“There is imminent danger that, absent the stay of removal, there will be substantial and irreparable injury to refugees, visa-holders, and other individuals from nations subject to the January 27, 2017 Executive Order,” Donnelly wrote.

The ACLU hailed the victory.
“Clearly the judge understood the possibility for irreparable harm to hundreds of immigrants and lawful visitors to this country,” ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero said in a statement. “Our courts today worked as they should as bulwarks against government abuse or unconstitutional policies and orders. On week one, Donald Trump suffered his first loss in court.”
On Sunday, the Department of Homeland Security issued a statement saying it did not plan to back off enforcing Trump's orders.
“President Trump’s Executive Orders remain in place — prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety,” the statement read. “President Trump’s Executive Order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America's borders and national security.”
The department said that less than 1 percent of daily international air travelers to the United States had been “inconvenienced” on Saturday.

Matthew Kolken, an immigration attorney based in Buffalo said there has been “a systemic bias against individuals from Muslim countries in the U.S. immigration departments” for years, including under the Obama administration.
“This isn't unprecedented,” Kolken told The Washington Post by phone Sunday. “The unfortunate reality is the executive branch does have vast discretionary authority to determine who they are going to [allow in or not].”

Protesters in cities across the nation rallied against President Trump's executive order banning U.S. entry for refugees, migrants and foreign nationals for 120 days. Here's a look at some of the protests that took place in airports and city squares across the U.S. after the order was sign. (Dalton Bennett, Erin Patrick O'Connor, Elyse Samuels, Monica Akhtar/The Washington Post)

A familiar talking point has permeated the many Republican defenses of Donald Trump's controversial travel entry ban: It's not a "Muslim ban."
"This is not a ban on Muslim refugees," Rep. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.) assured. “Everybody needs to take a deep breath; there is no litmus test based on religion," Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said. “It's simply wrong to call the president’s executive order concerning immigration and refugees ‘a religious test’ of any kind," Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) argued.
Trump himself issued a statement Sunday saying the same: "To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting."
For the record, non-ideological media outlets aren't flat-out calling it a Muslim ban — just noting that the opposition is making that argument. The executive order makes no explicit mention of a religious test, after all.
But it's unavoidable to note that the ban covers citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries — the only seven countries it targets. And even some Republicans are suggesting that it amounts to a religious test, or at least worrying it has the appearance of one.
For for that perception and story line, Trump has himself to thank.
It was Trump, after all, who once actually did propose a Muslim ban. It's still on his campaign website, more than a year later: "DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON PREVENTING MUSLIM IMMIGRATION."
Then Trump confidant Rudy Giuliani took to Fox News on Saturday night and said Trump basically was shooting for a Muslim ban with his executive order but recognized it needed to be altered to pass muster.
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="456" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l9GKL6i38pI?feature=oembed" width="811" data-aspect-ratio="1.7793594306049823" style="box-sizing: border-box; width: 811.513px;"></iframe>
Fox News host Jeannine Pirro asked Giuliani, “How did the president decide the seven countries?”
“I'll tell you the whole history of it," Giuliani said. "So when [Trump] first announced it, he said, 'Muslim ban.' He called me up. He said, 'Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally.'"
Giuliani continued: “And what we did was, we focused on, instead of religion, danger — the areas of the world that create danger for us. Which is a factual basis, not a religious basis. Perfectly legal, perfectly sensible. And that's what the ban is based on. It's not based on religion. It's based on places where there are substantial evidence that people are sending terrorists into our country.”
It's hard not to read Giuliani's comments as confirmation that a Muslim ban was the original intent, if not the final result. He's basically arguing it's not a Muslim ban because that wasn't practical. And given the particulars of the final result — even if not explicitly a religious test — it's not hard to draw a line between A and B.
Trump's long-running commentary has also made clear that he believes Muslims should perhaps be treated differently in some way (though the actual proposals have shifted). A few examples:

Asked about increasing surveillance of Muslims, Trump said: “We’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely. We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.”
Asked whether he would support a “full Muslim database,” he said: “Basically the suggestion was made and [is] certainly something we should start thinking about."
Asked if he would rule out a database on all Muslims, he said no, but then shifted to talking about a database just of refugees. “No, not at all,” he said. “I want a database for the refugees that — if they come into the country. We have no idea who these people are."

BRODY: Persecuted Christians, we’ve talked about this, the refugees overseas. The refugee program, or the refugee changes you’re looking to make. As it relates to persecuted Christians, do you see them as kind of a priority here?TRUMP: Yes.BRODY: You do?TRUMP: They’ve been horribly treated. Do you know if you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very tough, to get into the United States? If you were a Muslim, you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible, and the reason that was so unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping off the heads of everybody but more so the Christians. And I thought it was very, very unfair. So we are going to help them.

5-Minute Fix newsletter

The common thread running through these and many of Trump's comments about applying extra scrutiny to Muslims is that he's often asked about something specific, and tends to offer a generally positive response. The most charitable interpretation is that he's just trying to be agreeable.
But the totality of Trump's comments on this make it impossible to divorce this issue from religion. He's gone to that well too many times, suggesting that it might be okay to single Muslims out — either for immigration, surveillance or a registry of some kind.
Which is why you now see even some Republicans saying this looks way too much like a religious test.
"I am deeply troubled ‎by the appearance of a religious ban," Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) said Sunday night. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) added, “If we send a signal to the Middle East that the U.S. sees all Muslims as jihadis, the terrorist recruiters win by telling kids that America is banning Muslims and that this is America versus one religion.”
Trump and his team will chalk that sort of criticism up to Republicans who don't much like him spouting off. The White House would probably be better served by reviewing rhetoric from the president and some of his top surrogates, up to and including this past weekend.

Anybody who thinks Trump will stop with an immigration ban on Muslims from 7 countries should learn the history of the rise of any dictator, anywhere...

Were they also adherents to a Political Ideology/Religion that is a Demonic Death Cult?

If not then its like Apples and Oranges, to compare them to Muslim Immigrants.

Anybody who thinks that all Muslims can just Pick & Choose from Q'uranic, Sura & Haddit scriptures that which they choose to Observe and that any Muslim that feels like it can just ignore the commandments of Mohammed that say all who do not worship Allah must either Convert, Submit or Die should read the Holy Texts so as to understand a Muslim must follow ALL of the decrees of Allah/Mo or they are subject to Death by Stoning, Immolation, Crucufixion or Beheading.

I'm not sure how its selected which means of execution is employed, for those who try and be "Moderate Muslims" by electing to observe just some of Allah and his Crackhead PedoProphet's DeathScribe.

You personally might endeavor to grasp that there is no Dictator among us here, with Trump. Just a man who understands that Islam is the source of too many problems on this planet. And has been terrorizing humanity for 1394 Years now.

Its Time for The Death Cult to be removed from the Stage.

Peace be unto you.
