So this homosexual received asylum from a MUSLIM country while BUSH was President. But Trump, in an effort to protect American citizens, wants to keep out the people from whom THIS GUY RAN.

But the media tries to make this about hating Trump.

Terrible.

Green cards, get back in per Homeland Security. Tat being said, I don’t care WHAT someone from Somalia, Iran, Yemen CLAIM, we have no vetting, so we don’t really know who they are.

And, last night, a young man from Morocco shot up a mosque in Canada, killing several. All that has been done is to clamp down on travel from hotbeds of Islamic terror. Should have been done a decade ago.

The green card is a “resident Alien” card that authorizes an alien to reside here in the US. IIRC, they would use whatever their passport is coupled with the green card lets them leave and enter. I remember my wife back in the late 70s going back home with our son to visit and there was some kind of paperwork she had to fill out, but for the time she had a green card, she could travel in and out of the country. I don’t know about now.

So an Iranian with a green card who just spent three months in Yemen can come right back into the US with no additional vetting? Now that the order has been clarified.

Makes me pretty queasy.

Male to Male “sex” is rampant in Iran.

Not exactly sure what you have to do to be declared a homosexual. Maybe you have to swear that you never want to have sex with a woman.

I think Islamic law requires four witnesses of actual penetration. But it is not at all clear, and may vary from place to place.

Morning TV, even Maria Bartiromo’s show has become unwatchable today. Dagen McDowell is especially offensive and turns every comment into an anti-Trump rant. She needs to be kicked off the morning program or Fox Business is going to lose some viewers.

Sounds like a set up.

He KNEW he would be detained and when he was, he gets all wound up for having to go through extra security. He was released after they checked and cleared him.

Not sure when he went through security in his home country, but my experience in these hell holes is - feel lucky you get through it one the same day.

If you have been in the USA 9 years, you should have applied for US Citizenship. IDIOT!

Already lost one today. FBN is my usual morning station. Couldn’t take Dagen. Miami Vice re-runs it is!

Turned it off, too and sent a tweet to Maria Bartiromo, saying why.

So this gay Iranian was detained for a while? It’s entirely possible that he enjoys that type of thing.

I left this comment, it’s “awaiting moderation.”

>>So, for 40 years Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism, kidnapping and blowing up thousands of “infidels” from Beirut to Buenos Aires, while also hanging dissidents and gays etc, and we are supposed to drop to the floor and have a fit because one Iranian was inconvenienced?<<
