As was already proven earlier on this forum, you have no idea what you're talking about. For example, the areas of the UK that voted for Brexit were the ones with the LEAST amount of immigrants, not the most. The areas with the MOST immigrants knew that it wasn't really a significant issue due to their own direct experience with it. In other words, they weren't ignorant and living in paranoid fear of the unknown. Just look at Trump's ban...it actually includes people that ALREADY HAVE GREEN CARDS AND VISAS. How fucking incompetent is that? So incompetent that even Dick Cheney is criticizing it.
@alterego Gee I wonder why areas that have been flooded with Muslims voted against Brexit. Perhaps because many of the people voting were Muslims? I think we effectively demonstrated in the other thread that you have no idea what Islam is actually about and just believe a bunch of misinformation you've been fed by CAIR (a terror funded organization dedicated to Taqiyya) and PC people on the left. Trump has the right idea, but he didn't go far enough. Saudi Arabia needs to be added to the list of banned countries ASAP.
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-brief...judge-blocks-trump-immigration-ban-nationwide This was the right decision by the court. The ban is unconstitutional. I'm opposed to the refugee programs because of the financial burden, but there were people already here on legal visas who were at risk of being sent back to their respective country. This executive order goes way above and beyond anything that can be considered reasonable. Also, the fact that Saudi Arabia was not included on the list proves that the ban was politically motivated and not at all concerned with terrorism.
That only covers people in transit... so they don't live out of an airport like Tom Hanks. If you didn't buy a ticket and get on a plane today, you done goofed. Edit: It appears it actually means the opposite! They cannot be deported, but might be allowed to live out of the airport like Tom Hanks. Or end up in federal detention. DHS is cutting them loose.... for now.
Just say it: making this order apply to people that already had legally valid visas and green cards is insane. Also, what exactly does "extreme" vetting mean? Does it mean Steve Bannon is slamming Mountain Dew and Jack Daniels while drawing up the plans for the gas chambers?
Green card holders are an overreach to be sure. But we've taken direct military action against 5 of those countries. Overthrew 2 of their governments, arming the fight against 2 more, and applying crushing punitive sanctions on 2 more. But a travel ban is what triggers a massive over-correction. Go figure.
If the countries you're banning haven't produced a terrorist that killed on U.S. soil in over 40 years, then you can't say the ban is based on security concerns. Trump and Co are just testing the waters for martial law.
The ban is mostly political in nature. Trump is trying to appease his voter base. A serious ban would include Saudi Arabia, the world's largest exporter of terror and extremism. But Trump and other Republicans do business with the Saudis so that won't happen.
It's pretty complicated. They are our 2nd largest oil supplier and probably our 2nd or 3rd largest creditor. They officially own $100B in US debt, but the actual figure is rumored to be in the $700 billion - $1 trillion range via shell companies in other nations.
Note how important this "temporary" ban seems to be to Trump and Bannon. ISIS is celebrating it as a recruiting tool, the military thinks it's a mistake, the majority of the public hates it, and it's being internationally condemned as foolish, yet they're insisting on following through despite claiming it isn't really permanent.
So... there are 2 stories floating around: -Trump threatens troop deployment in Mexico -Trump threatens Australian Prime Minister LOL, Our president is such a clown, I can't figure out if it's fake news, real news, troll, or haox.
Trump and Co are dangerous lunatics...basically, the want to go to war in the Middle East in order to give Russia a leg up in the oil market. Oh, and throw in a war against China too, because, hey, they "fear Christianity"... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...non-donald-trump-war-south-china-sea-no-doubt
Belichick and Brady basically play golf with the guy and probably get Trump resort freebies. I don't get the impression that they're all that interested in endorsing him politically to the public. Kraft is the creepiest, as he has specifically said that he thinks Trump will be "good for the economy". My take on Kraft is that it's mainly the gambling connection that attracts him to Trump, as Kraft at one time wanted to build a casino near Gillette Stadium and he was a big investor in the fantasy betting stuff like Draft Kings (that turned out to be illegal!)
So an unqualified billionaire heiress is running the department of education. Lol at the pussy bitch politicians.
