DHS will continue to enforce Trump's travel ban
Fox News Politics ^ | January 29, 2017

Posted on 01/29/2017 12:44:52 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement early Sunday saying that they plan on continuing to “enforce all of the president’s executive orders in a manner that ensures the safety and security of the American people.”

The DHS said the court order would not affect the overall implementation of the White House order and the court order affected a small number of travelers who were inconvenienced by security procedures upon their return.

“The president’s executive orders remain in place—prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the U.S. government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety,” the statement said....

I never heard of a Jewish snake handler, either. Still amazed that any people place any value in this odd ritual.

Cool it and watch what is happening here.

Those countries listed were listed by Obama when he was president.

I’m no fan of the Opecker Princes, check how many times I have referred to them as Opecker Princes. Their day is coming.

Can you or anyone else please explain to me why Trump is obligated to follow the idiot Obama’s list?

Is there a law that binds him to the list?

Because those were the countries named in the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act that Obama signed in December 2015. Saudi Arabia wasn’t listed.

Again.

Please tell me what binds Trump to that document. If he is legally bound, then I will admit I’m wrong.

If he is not legally bound by that, then he is making a gigantic mistake, in my opinion.

That wasn’t the question you asked.

He knew the libs would squall like scalded cats when he did this. And he can point to their beloved lib leader that he did the same. They have no talking points (though I’m sure they’ll continue squalling).

If I’m reading it correctly, a Saudi who has been to one of these 7 countries in the past 5 years would be denied entry to the US, but I’m not an immigration lawyer. I’m an armchair commentator, just like everyone else.

I am wondering it all this caterwauling is do to the fact that if President Trump enforces immigration laws and cleans up the voter rolls - democrats electoral advantage in lots of areas goes away.

I don't think this is a conscious thought of many of progressive liberal democrats/marxists but rather a gut understanding that anywhere they are - there are deporables amoung them lots of us.

They are always hiding behind the notion of protecting "the most vulnerable in society" all the while murder vacuuming out babies of poor mothers wombs. As they see the vulnerable voters (the dead, illegals, double voting college kids) kindred spirits at the ballot box be culled from the voter rolls they see their power slipping away.

On a large scale these people have self segregated into California and New York for the most part - and even there they know we deplorables are legion among them.

This summer in a Miran County supermarket I had it out with a supermarket clerk who said something unsolicited about Trump. I called her on it and very loudly you should have seen the supermarket. Bizarre what political correctness does to the spine.

Trump has shown us the way don't stop, don't apologize, don't accept the premise - call them out for the anti-Americans they are.

Before November Democrats of all stripes were full of hubris arrogance and laziness (passive aggressive aholes - just like perl programmers, okay most programmers - frikin monoids). Now they are scared, and the fear is creating paranoia, paranoia leads to irrational behavior which we will capitalize on an exploit.

Lets feed the progressive lefts paranoia - its the right thing to do.

Go Trump Go - Enforce the Rule of Law! Save Western Civilization!

That is why President Trump needs to put his Twitter pen down and back away

No way man - this direct pipeline to the president and back to the people is beyond awesome and seems to be absolute kryptonite to the mainstream media.

As far as the lefties taking over the comments let them have it and get themselves in a fever hateful pitch.

In a couple of weeks most people won't be looking at any of the comments but rather the tweet of post itself.

Primary access to the principles affecting world events, used in a way that is yielding results for Americanism

Time to govern you say, where were you last week. You want to stop this tweeting and all this winning? The tweeting directly tells the American people Trump therefore America is winning without the media filter. The press hates this.

Why do want to stop the winning and broadcasting of it?

Are you a fool?

So, Trump isn’t bound to Obama’s idiocy.

You need to get off the night shift. It’s bad for you in many ways.

“That is why President Trump needs to put his Twitter pen down and back away.”

Twitter allows him to speak directly to the people.

He should instead rid us of the nattering nabobs of negativism and their bots. And frankly, I don’t give a damn how he does it, as long as they disappear.

We need to recognize that leftists are enemies of the US, and we are at war with them.

Why isn’t travel banned from Saudi Arabia? Travel from there has caused us far more grief than from any of the banned countries.

The answer that Trump took a list from Obama makes zero sense.


It makes a lot of sense when one is aware that lawyers (and judges) were lined up, chafing at the bit to challenge any restrictions President Trump places on visitors from countries like those listed in the executive orders. This will be a long struggle to defend our borders.

Thanks for the concern. It is bad. However, circumstances dictate that I must stay on it.

Again, thank you.
