January 29, 20179 yr I'm for letting everyone in without vetting or even border or custom checks. I'm sure that would be a great safe place
January 29, 20179 yr I'm sure that would be a great safe place Oh, I thought we were doing absurd comments in this thread, my bad.
January 30, 20179 yr I feel this statement by John McCain & Lindsey Graham sums up my thoughts & feelings about the executive order on immigration. STATEMENT BY SENATORS McCAIN & GRAHAM ON EXECUTIVE ORDER ON IMMIGRATION - Press Releases - United States Senator John McCain Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the following statement today on the President’s executive order on immigration: “Our government has a responsibility to defend our borders, but we must do so in a way that makes us safer and upholds all that is decent and exceptional about our nation. “It is clear from the confusion at our airports across the nation that President Trump’s executive order was not properly vetted. We are particularly concerned by reports that this order went into effect with little to no consultation with the Departments of State, Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security. “Such a hasty process risks harmful results. We should not stop green-card holders from returning to the country they call home. We should not stop those who have served as interpreters for our military and diplomats from seeking refuge in the country they risked their lives to help. And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children. “Ultimately, we fear this executive order will become a self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism. At this very moment, American troops are fighting side-by-side with our Iraqi partners to defeat ISIL. But this executive order bans Iraqi pilots from coming to military bases in Arizona to fight our common enemies. Our most important allies in the fight against ISIL are the vast majority of Muslims who reject its apocalyptic ideology of hatred. This executive order sends a signal, intended or not, that America does not want Muslims coming into our country. That is why we fear this executive order may do more to help terrorist recruitment than improve our security.” ###
January 30, 20179 yr I'm for letting everyone in without vetting or even border or custom checks. So you welcome terrorists hidden in the refugees. Nice.
January 30, 20179 yr Two of my three least favorite RINO Senators rush to a microphone to criticize Trump. I am shocked. I suspect that Mitch McConnell is working his magic behind the scenes to thwart Trump's agenda. Those three "gentlemen" are the three biggest obstacles for Trump as he tries to cleanup the mess that Obama made.
January 30, 20179 yr So you welcome terrorists hidden in the refugees. Nice. See Post 32 Edited January 30, 20179 yr by True blue (and gold) fixed quote tags
January 30, 20179 yr I am laughing! There are understandable reasons to be cautious about what Trump did. But your statment was insane. No vetting , custom or border checks ? Defend that.
January 30, 20179 yr Muslim Countries Refuse to Take A Single Syrian Refugee, Cite Risk of Exposure to Terrorism
January 30, 20179 yr And the outrage when Cubans were suddenly cut off was...where? https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/12/world/americas/cuba-obama-wet-foot-dry-foot-policy.html?_r=0 WASHINGTON — President Obama said Thursday that he was terminating the 22-year-old policy that has allowed Cubans who arrived on United States soil without visas to remain in the country and gain legal residency, an unexpected move long sought by the Cuban government. “Effective immediately, Cuban nationals who attempt to enter the United States illegally and do not qualify for humanitarian relief will be subject to removal, consistent with U.S. law and enforcement priorities,” Mr. Obama said in a statement. “By taking this step, we are treating Cuban migrants the same way we treat migrants from other countries.” Notice the date - 12 days before leaving office. A 22 year old policy overtiurned with implementation 'immediately' with only 12 days left in term of the administration. Conversely, the previous administration has let in extrememly few refugees from the affected regions - until the last half of 2016.
January 30, 20179 yr I'm for letting everyone in without vetting or even border or custom checks. That's scary
January 30, 20179 yr There are understandable reasons to be cautious about what Trump did. But your statment was insane. No vetting , custom or border checks ? Defend that. Man guys lighten up. I was being sarcastic to MR's post 29. I thought it was absurd, so I made one that was just as absurd. That is why I said I was laughing. Way too serious on here. Maybe I need to explain it further. MR made what I thought was an absurd statement and maybe sarcastic, I never know with him sometimes, so I made something absurd that I don't believe.
