Temporary as in 200 years should be a start.

Trump could block entry from these countries instructing the State Department to stop issuing visas and instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to stop any current visa holders from entering the United States.

Also, the State and Homeland Security Departments would work on the vetting process when nominee Rex Tillerson becomes head the State Department.

Other measures may direct all agencies to finish work on a biometric identification system for non-citizens entering and exiting the United States and stop immigrants fraudulently receiving government benefits.

“But from a policy standpoint, it would be terrible idea because there is such an urgent humanitarian need right now for refugees.”

Sure glad this “putz lawya” is gone! They aren’t “refugees” when they are mostly young men. They are a “muslim landing party!”

Why do all refugees HAVE to come to America? Why don't Muslim countries accept Muslim “refugees?”

Possibly the Christians in the Middle East who are being shot, crucified, and beheaded.

As I’ve said before - by far the cheapest, easiest and most common-sense “anti-terror” measure would be a travel ban from 20+ Mid-east, North African and South Asian countries where Islamic extremism and orthodoxy is most severe.

This is the first EO that will produce megaton-level nuclear head explosions amongst the enemedia and the Dems/Progs!!!

President Trump is also expected to issue his first Mexican Wall EO on Wednesday too, which will ALSO produce megaton-level nuclear head explosions.

Wednesday is gonna be a real head-splody day. I’m thinking many libs are not gonna survive Meltdown Wednesday.

Great! Being invaded by aliens is getting to be a bit tiresome. Maybe Uganda or Congo will take these “refugees”.

“...ban on allowing refugees into the United States except for religious minorities escaping persecution, ...”

Religious minorities = Christians

(and others, but mostly Christians)

It’s about time 0’s policy was reversed.

Winning !!! Not tired of winning yet.

Meanwhile, the DBM will be fixated today on Trump’s call for a federal investigation into voter fraud and how racist an investigation like that is.

Rope-a-dope...
