Protesters started trickling into DFW International Airport's baggage claim Saturday afternoon after news broke of up to 50 people being detained by customs. First it was a few dozen family members of detained travelers waiting for answers. A few hours later the crowd swelled to hundreds.
"I think the most beautiful thing about the entire evening was it wasn't predominately Muslim," Mohammad Abdulhadi said. "There were Mexicans, priests, rabbis, men, women, everybody."
Abdulhadi came to the airport to support his friend who's parents were being detained. The parents are from Syria and traveled with visas but were turned away when they arrived in the country.

Actually, this must be what it was like if one could view the death-throes of dinosaurs overtaken by reality.
Sorry Abdul, Pepe—you have to go.
Oh man...this completely sucks!! I’m out of popcorn! Anyone have anymore?
And the father of the PULSE club shooter turns up at a Hillary rally in Florida last Fall.
Not a peep from the lame stream media.
>Easy to say. Proof helps. Just go ahead and post it.

30 seconds of binging.
Early last week, I heard a teacher saying that so in so’s daddy was stuck in some Muslim country because Trump’s folks wouldn’t let the guy return. No idea why the daddy was gone and his family is still here. I think the family is Palestinian, but I don’t know for sure or where the man’s flight was originating. Must be a country on the list. There are a lot of Muslim children in this area. Their parents are usually students on student visas. A lot of new babies in these families as well ...
How about a pick-up game of whack-a-lib?
I bet these leftist immigration lawyers are popping the champagne corks celebrating their gold mine.
“We are staring down 1861”
Let them go this time. Just let them know we WON’T send them foreign aid plus they too will have a wall.
How long before they are a third world country?
Not if we turn up the heat on them.
Those “very smart professionals” you know are not all that smart if they believe the military will launch a coup against a president they admire and side with a bunch of moonbat liberals and jihadi wanna-be-s,
Yes and many of them are working in the Dallas and Houston airports. Have you been there lately?
...or mostly Union Goons.
I predict there will be more delays as passengers point out potentially dangerous travelers which will cause more howls for those who expect us to remain compliantly defenseless.
The “protesters” are simply going to tick off an awful lot of people. Just wait until the next election.
I’d say the average Joe will get tired of this stuff soon enough.

People will cheer when President Trump gives the order to haul there paid protestors away.
I understand that The Donald does not like to admit mistakes, and that his first reaction is to double down. This situation is an early test of whether he can resist that very dangerous impulse. I presume that no more than a few hundred people with valid papers are being caught in transit. If so, the thing to do is to get them cleared as quickly as possible so that they can complete their trips. Then tighten up the EO so that this does not happen again.
I am entirely in favor of reducing total numbers of legal immigrants, effectively controlling the borders against illegals, policing visa overstays, and heightened scrutiny of people named Mohammed. Etc., etc., etc. But policy changes should be prospective, not retroactive. The people involved in this situation have LEGAL U.S. papers. Those should be honored absent any negative information about particular individuals.
We have a war to win. Change the policy going forward. That is the whole ballgame. We jeopardize the main project by wrong-footing ourselves regarding a few dozen or a few hundred innocent people with, again, LEGAL papers who got caught in transit.
An overbroad EO has created an entirely needless controversy. Unforced error.
Or we can double down, and triple down, and quadruple down. Heck, my earliest traceable ancestor on These Sacred Shores arrived in 1653, as an indentured servant. I would probably make the cut, although if Fauxahontas sets herself up as judge, I might be too recent an arrival as well. How far back do people here really want to go if we start canceling legally obtained status? Don't forget that Donald himself is the son of an immigrant on one side, and the grandson of immigrants on the other. His American roots are pretty shallow. (Ted Cruz, whose native-born status he challenged, can trace family in America back to the 18th century.) Heck yes, let's get out a big eraser, say legal status can be arbitrarily canceled, and chop away. This could be fun.
Frequent fliers certainly will. I’d say bad press all the way round.
Yes, it feels like the beginning of a divorce.
