    LMAO. Keeping Americans safe is now discrimination.

    @RocketsLegend are you even allowed to leave the country with the new rules? Or are you still allowed to come to the US? I have no idea where you're actually posting from.

    No but insinuating that refugees from Syria are unsafe might be discrimination.

    First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Socialist.

    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
    Because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    it's a 120 days ban. People think 120 days ban is much worse than Obama bombing 7 Muslim countries.

    The day they make white males ages 25 to 45 register in a database, as they are by far the ones who commit the most heinous crimes and terrorist acts, then we'll call it fair.

    Otherwise, it's discrimination, pure and simple.

    So you're saying white people commit higher percent of crimes in a country that is 70 percent white. How fascinating. Next, you're going to tell me the Chinese commit most of the crimes in China. If you say that my mind will officially be blown.

    a. Trump wants you to be safe
    - he will publish weekly "list of criminal actions committed by aliens” in the US.

    b. Trump wants you to be safe
    - he will publish weekly "list of criminal actions committed by ALL” in the US.

    c. Trump wants you to be safe
    - he will publish weekly "list of criminal actions committed by sector that has historically, perpetrated those acts” in the US.

    Hope that helps your frame of mind in understanding what others are telling you.

    Mind you there have been terrorist cases that were done by Americans. How do you keep them out?

    Oklahoma bombing coming to my mind.

    Trump is just using another situation to get back at the world. This will make radical muslims even angrier. So yup well done.

    Sad for all the innocents.

    Vetting people from high risk countries before they enter the US is now discrimination? Nonsense.

    Once again liberals are more interested in appearing tolerant than protecting our people. Common sense, folks.

    This got nothing to do with tolerance when someone wants to visit their family and is from one of those countries. It is a basic right.

    BTW the US are still partly responsible for the Syrian refugee flood to Europe, still not owning up enough.

    This is saying it is good to deploy troops in the Middle East, and do not care much about the refugees that are piling up. Lol really?

    Basic right? No.

    Safety is a top priority, and should be treated as such.

    I know this is pointless, but perhaps neither would be an acceptable. And right now, the current President is proposing a ban that if implemented before 9/11 would have prevented none of the terrorists acts inside the United States, including 9/11.

    How violent are undocumented immigrants? Safety? Nope. Fear, yes. Hate, yes.


    Publishing a weekly list of crimes committed by immigrants.... the goal is to make all immigrants look bad to justify Trump's policy of anti-immigrants.

    Publishing a weekly list of crimes committed by gun owners. Make all gun owners look bad.

    Publishing a weekly list of crimes committed by the poor. Make all of the poor look bad.

    Publishing a weekly list of crimes committed by black males. Make all of the black look bad.

    Publishing a weekly list of crimes committed by Trump supporters, by Clinton supporters, by liberals, by conservative.

    And so on.

    This causes damages to society by spreading hate and fear. Trump is so much about hate and fear.

    This threat to publish a list of alleged crimes by one group of humans, to vilify them, is straight up xenophobic, divisive dictatorship bullshit.

    How any American citizen can support this is beyond me. bigtexxx, you should call your representative in the House and decry this. This isn't good for anything beyond a gross scapegoating and consolidation of power. It is unhinged, unAmerican, and you know this to be true. Don't align yourself with Russian plants like RussiaLegend and GeneralHate.

    And who will believe #alternativenumbers administration about alleged crimes anyway? All they needs now is a Reichstag fire, allegedly perpetrated by illegal immigrants and women with pink hats, right.

    A very shameful episode for our country. It will take Red State Americans demanding it stops, because they are in power and Trump is clearly going to ignore everything Blue.

    The countries impacted are Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia, according to a White House official.

    Nice to see him leaving out Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia again, what a joke this is. Sudan, Iran, Libya, Yemen and Somalia are a bigger threat, what?
    This won't do sh**, but guess majority of Trump voters only read headlines.

    Red state republicans aren't going to demand anything change. This is what they've wanted.

    I spoke with a staunch tea partier the other day and debated voter suppression with her and ultimately she just said she didn't care what was done as long as conservatives win. She just believes the future of America and the world relies on conservatives winning.

    So convinced that America is being destroyed and the world is burning that they welcome a strong man.
