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).

There is a fair question to be asked. For instance... why is Saudi Arabia not on the list? The 9/11 murderers didn’t come from Iran after all.

Someone posted on another thread that NATO. Visas are acceptable. If true, then this is all blather anyway. Keep the ban!

Only one so far and the lady in the parking lot of the post office said she liked it.

When I drive past the halal market near the pizza place I get some looks, but so far nobody has said anything.

But, presumably, France, Germany and England will share information about those citizens with us. Iran refuses to do so.

Only IF they are able to obtain proper Visa documentation. Many of those will be able to do so but, no system is fool-proof!

Will there be any federal court in the US that dare override President Trump’s action?

This is a strategy game. A court would have to ove,rride before the new Atty General and Justice of the Supreme Court are confirmed and hope that the present SCOTUS of eight would split in its favor after the federal court and appellate court gets done with it.

Not gonna happen.

Iran says they don’t have to give U.S. information about their citizens. Fine, then, we don’t have to let them in.
The Somali are calling Trump stupid and saying he won by promising to get rid of black people. With that attitude, I hope they are never allowed in again.

It’s just amazing that these countries and the immigrants have no respect for our country whatsoever. They think they are entitled to come here, insulting Americans all along.

Or Egypt? Or the UAE? Or Kuwait? Or Dubai?

To: A message

When the presstitutes ask President Trump why he banned visas to these countries he should recite a different, murderous verse from the Koran every time:

“So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them. (Quran 9:5). Maybe that is why these countries sponsor so much terror, who knows?”

Throw the violence of Islam in their face every stinking time and educate America as to what they face.
