TEHRAN — Families, businesspeople, athletes and tourists from seven countries in the Middle East and Africa found their travel plans — and even their futures — in a state of suspension on Friday after President Trump signed an executive order temporarily barring thousands from obtaining visas to travel to the United States.

The order is expected to freeze almost all travel to the United States by citizens from the Muslim-majority countries of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for at least 90 days. Three of those countries are considered sponsors of terrorism (Iran, Sudan and Syria), and three are designated countries of concern (Libya, Somalia and Yemen).

With the ragheads murdering Americans in Fort Hood, kalifornia, Orlando, etc, it’s amazing that this is an issue. That the liberals would sacrifice American lives to these animals all in the name of globalism boggles the mind.

So if it’s only for 90 days, I presume the vetting process will be implemented in that time? Surely it will be implemented before the order is lifted.

Yeah, that whole Death To America thing does create a bit of an awkward relationship.

Will there be any federal court in the US that dare override President Trump’s action? That is the critical question in my mind going into the weekend and people at JFK and elsewhere being told they had to return home. In other reports some of these people had attorneys with ACLU and others waiting for them, so this is an orchestrated effort to challenge President Trump.

Oh dear! The horrors. How are they going to spread their religion of peace to us now? How are they going to impose their sharia law on us now? Religious oppression I tell ya.

President Trump is doing his sworn duty as Chief law enforcement officer of the law enforcing Executive Branch of America, unlike preceding so called Presidents who swore to enforce congressional laws and did not and deceived foolish Americans while America was diminished by their unlawful policies. Obama was the worst of all but immigration law is being kept by President Trump who knows what the law is and does it as he swore to do. And may the Lord Jesus Christ help him to do it despite the evil left and their rino minions who do not keep law and justice as the Congressional law requires.

Maybe when we can quell our own domestic enemies, riots, and subversion, we can start experimenting again with unfettered immigration from terrorist hotbeds.

I posted this quote on my Facebook page:

“The Secretary of Treasury [sic., he meant State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.” - Donald Trump

After I received several responses of outrage from left-wing friends, I posted:

“Just kidding. That was Jimmy Carter. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=33233";

Good way to get left-wingers to unfriend you on Facebook.

“There is a sense of bewilderment, as well as a sense of injustice,” over why Iran was even included on the list of targeted countries,

Gee, can't we just take the whole " Death To America" and "America The Great Satan" thing as a joke. The Iranians don't really mean it do they.

Laughable indeed, as a peaceful Muslim is a heretic to the Koran book of their Allah, aka Satan.

And this is the most terrible thing in history because as everyone knows America is not for Americans, and anyone who disagrees is a racist and a Nazi follower of Hitler.
