Say, these five passengers didn’t happen to spend any time in Guantanamo Bay by any chance, did they?
Winning!
Substituting reason for exuberance. And ‘detained,’ visa or no, is a common occurrence for international travelers. Absolutely no basis for a lawsuit, on the basis of the reported facts.
Add Pakistan and Saudis to the list.
WE DON’T NEED ANY!!!!
Well I hear that they do have great little restaurants in Dearborn.
I’ll just have to make-do with Italian.:-)
.
This. Is. Awesome.
Now I am going to say something really sad. If we had had President Trump instead of President Bill Clinton, all of the 3000 killed on 9/11 would be alive today. If we had had a President who cared about the American people more than he cared about kissing international globalist butt.

THEY HAD A REASONABLE NOTIFICATION PERIOD. Aren’t they as smart as poor Mexicans?? Who know and can smell when a policy change is coming and get their asses in here first??????
My child goes to a Jewish preschool. There are some Iranian Jewish families there and I heard them talking, being glad their Iranian family members were already here, knowing the ones who never arrived were not going to be able to come. This was right after the election. Even that was 2 months ago. How many months would you have wanted to give all Muslims in the world to get in here before we shut up shop to them?
Something like 500 “Syrian refugees” were dropped here in his last day. The American people had no info ever on whom the State dept were happily bringing her by the hundreds.
I think that the 9/11 terrorists were all from Saudi Arabia, which is not (yet) on the list.
Yes, absolutely.
Thank You Lord God for giving us President Trump. Please continue to protect our nation. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen.
You mean, issued before 12:00 noon EST on January 20, 2017?
‘EXTREME VETTING’
Trump’s executive order provides a list of possible mechanisms for ‘vetting’ prospective immigrants and catching those ‘seeking to enter the United States on a fraudulent basis with the intent to cause harm, or who are at risk of causing harm subsequent to their admission.’
They include:
in-person interviews;
a database of identity documents proffered by applicants to ensure that duplicate documents are not used by multiple applicants;
amended application forms that include questions aimed at identifying fraudulent answers and malicious intent;
a mechanism to ensure that the applicant is who the applicant claims to be;
a process to evaluate the applicant’s likelihood of becoming a positively contributing member of society and the applicant’s ability to make contributions to the national interest; and
a mechanism to assess whether or not the applicant has the intent to commit criminal or terrorist acts after entering the United States.
I imagine that when they reported to a U.S. consulate and got a visa, that is exactly what they thought they were doing. Unlike the poor Mexicans, these are people who didn't just sneak in across the Rio Grande. They applied for and received a visa. They showed up at the airport and discovered it had been canceled overnight. If you've given up your housing, sold off possessions you aren't taking, and maybe be already in transit (Yemen to Egypt, and now trying to board a flight to the U.S.), you've got a serious problem.
How many people are in this situation? It can't be many: 50? A few hundred? These are inconsequential numbers. If they have travel papers, let them travel; they're already in the legal queue, so grandfather them. Change the policy prospectively. If you want to cancel visas already issued, the right way to do this is to send a notification setting an effective date a week or two in the future. Sudden, unannounced action gratuitously creates sympathetic victims with no offsetting policy gain.
We're not talking about illegals here. These are legal visitors or immigrants. That should make a difference. Per the DHS website, the U.S. had over 181 million foreign visitors in 2015. Do we really want to tell the world that you can get a U.S. visa, but we may not honor it when you get to the airport?
How do you know that he didn't. We know that he did with "refugees". You have to start somewhere.
Remember that every action hussein took was meant to harm the US.
Every day is Christmas.
I’ve been thinking about getting the colored lights back out and leaving them up all year.

Ha!! Great idea.
The article didn't clarify that. I do wonder how many visa requests were rushed through the approval process before 1/20 by Obama's people... my guess is they all got expedited and rubber-stamped for approval without any vetting at all.
Couldn’t disagree more. Under Obama, Visa’s were handed out willy nilly and often without going through the vetting procedures required by law. People requesting visas are supposed to be interviewed, but under Obama, people could get a visa by mail. So, just because they have visas does not mean they should be allowed in. Once the State Dept gets the visa program under control and people are actually vetted before they get them, then I don’t see a problem.
