“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.
We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.
This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.
I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”

Aclu said that a Croatian woman at lax has been forced to give up her visitors visa and is being Sent back to Paris
Then something was wrong with her visa...or not. So what?
My nephews have been brainwashed by CNN. They’re putting liberal statements on FB. Thank God I indoctrinated my own family to be conservatives.
been arguing all day with the nuts on social media.

It’s like the media has lost its collective mind. They used to try to be subtle with their bias. Trump has exposed them. Depending on my mood, I watch network news for laughs, or I turn it off for more important things like clearing my sinuses.

This happens literally a thousand times a day. Every day. We are in cuckoo for cocoa puffs land.
trying to stop terrorists from coming here to kill us is now controversial in the loony left minds. They;re nuts.
Does it seem ‘weird’ to you, as it does me, that an American president has to
Speak Truth to Power
???!!!??
What have we become?
WINNING! WINNING!
I believe Jimmy Carter banned Iranians from coming to America during the hostage crisis.
No doubt this message is meant to smooth over by hijacking the false lib narrative but the 90 day timeline seems a pointed stop gap measure to put a more sophisticated vetting process in place.
Fourth, the Secretary of Treasury [State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly. ___Jimmy Carter April 7, 1980
Because Islam IS oppression.
Very good! That was fast.
God Bless this President for standing strong.
I have the White House website bookmarked as I don’t “ do” Twitter or FB and I’ve been sending him a note about every day thanking him and praying for him.
He needs to hear from us all.
It’s a good operational test of organizational strengh for the US bureauracracy.
Good that he referenced Obama’s similar actions. It defuses the left’s argument.
He needs to explain and make crystal clear to the American people (those who don’t have a clue) that ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION.
I hate going to FB right now.
I just came across these articles from the lefty Boston Globe. Make of them what you will, but I hope that this isn’t seen as unwanted blowback that will marginalize Bannon’s influence with Trump.
