Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and other city leaders appeared at the Islamic Center of Southern California in Koreatown Wednesday to denounce President Donald Trump’s travel ban on seven Muslim-majority nations and offer their support for travelers affected by it.
“We must always protect our country and our people from harm, and should take every necessary measure to secure the homeland,” Garcetti said. “But banning people based on religion or country of origin is not only un- American, it is dangerously counter to our national security. There are effective, rational, humane and constitutional strategies to keep Americans safe — and that is what we expect the president to offer the American people.”
Trump’s executive order, which he signed Friday, suspends all refugee entries for 120 days, indefinitely blocks all Syrian refugees and bars entry for 90 days to all immigrants from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

Garcetti is delusional, at best.
Give it your best shot, slick.
There wasn’t a peep when Carter did it though——not a peep.
.
L.A. is the second largest Mexican city according to Luis Gutierrez.
They string the cliches and non sequiturs together so often they have no idea what they're saying.
America is a sovereign nation that can choose at any time who it will and will not admit inside its borders. It can also change its mind at any time. There is no right to visit the US. There is no right to immigrate to the US.
The 'counter to our national security' argument is so illogical that it defies comment.
WANNA BET?
Mayor: (Stomping both feet) ‘I WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS!!!’
President Trump: ‘Ok, we will stop all money for your city, put your people back to work’...
ROFL!!! I don’t know how much crazier these idiots can become but it’s sure fun to watch it all!!!
Libs can attempt to tie their argument around national security all they want. What they really want is to maintain the power over identity politics, even at the risk of national security. That is their bread and butter and Trump is cutting off the supply.
Let’s see how he feels when city books are all red ink because Uncle Sugar closed the spigot.
The idiot doesn't understand that that's exactly what Trump is doing.
So there Mayor.
I can't imagine you San Diegans were happy about The Chargers leaving.
I am sure the illegals will make a even bigger line to L.A. now. That boat will sink someday mayor.
I love watching these little crybabies trying to take on the adults. President Trump will kick his little snowflake ass.
I know it will be costly, but I so wish Trump would open a HUGE refugee center in Beverly Hills. Just do it Mr. President.
Think I’ll spread the rumor on twitter.

The stupid is strong in this one.
We have been living under the yoke of a gigantic mafia-it is becoming visible
What Muslim Ban? So many influential people have so much to say about subjects they know nothing about.
FDR locked up 110,000 Japanese and Germans right here in America. Trump wants to keep the bad guys out.
ROFL...Do It!!!
