Trump Signs Two Executive Orders; Expands Power of Military, ‘Extreme Vetting’
NBC News ^ | January 27, 2017 | PHIL MCCAUSLAND and COURTNEY KUBE

Posted on 01/27/2017 1:59:33 PM PST by Truth29

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Friday that dramatically expand the nation's military and so-called "extreme vetting" of visa seekers from terror-plagued countries — moves aimed at strengthening the U.S. response to terrorism both home and abroad.

In signing the order, Trump pledged to "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America."

Extreme vetting is an idea that evolved from Trump's controversial Muslim ban that he called for in Dec. 2015, which would address the refugees entering the country.

"We've taken in tens of thousands of people. We know nothing about them," Trump said in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday. "They can say they vet them. They didn't vet them. They have no papers. How can you vet somebody when you don't know anything about them and you have no papers?"

This man is going to make me sleep better at night. Especially since I now own a home in a NJ town that has burka’ed women roaming the streets in summertime.

God bless President Trump.

James Comey testified to Congress last Spring that we cannot vet these refugees as there is no database, no paper trail, and ISIS had overrun many of the passport offices and could produce whatever documents they please.

Extreme vetting = Backdoor Muslim Ban?

The steadily increasing number of burquas people were seeing in Walmart played a YUGE role in electing Trump.

Make no mistake.

Trump also called for a "great rebuilding" of the nation's military. "New planes, new ships, new resources, new tools for our men and women in uniform."

And get rid of the social engineering policies that is hurting moral.

And yet one of my PA friends is always dumping on PA and encouraging me to move to her second home in Arizona. I could go mad with all the mixed-up advice!

What a thrill it is, after eight years, having a President working for the good of our Nation and its citizens.

GO, President Trump!

Oh, you are so right with that, Buck! I stopped shopping in my local W because not only were all the goods shoddy but seeing those creepy women was too much for my 20th Century American eyes.

As a student of History I can’t help but see a lot of Churchill in Trump. Bucking up the Troops during the Blitz. A Strong leader that is not afraid to strengthen the spine, and call out the enemy.

More a common sense move. Why are we taking people that we know nothing about?

And oddly enough there are a bunch of people who are not-mohammedan who come out of those same areas who manage to bring their papers with them.

Extreme vetting == Justified exclusionary immigration policy.

While we’re at it, take finger prints and DNA samples and archive it in the reject database.

Exactly. There is no way to vet people from third world toilets. What are they going to do? Email the department of vital statistics in downtown Mogadishu?

I’ve wondered all along what Obama was talking about when he claimed the refugees were vetted. I suspect some line staffer in some bureaucracy was randomly asking whether they planned to exterminate Americans. Those who said No were welcomed.

I’m waiting patiently for him to end Obama’s illegal DACA program.
Every day that goes by another 140-150 illegal aliens are added to the 750,000 already issued work permits.
Even if they do not rescind the papers already issued, they need to stop issuing new ones NOW.
If he does not end Obama’s illegal DACA program it will become his illegal DACA program.

If that friend happens to be in Filthadelphia or Harrisburg, it's understandable, but not nearly representative, as most PAmericans hereabouts despise those vile holes.

Out here in the low mountains and peaceful rivers it's a whole different thing.

(too damned hot in AZ ;-)
