President Trump could issue additional executive orders expanding the list of Muslim-majority countries whose people are banned from emigrating to the United States, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said Sunday.
Future White House executive orders could include countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Egypt being added to the list of banned countries, Mr. Priebus said during an interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press.”
“Perhaps other countries needed to be added to an executive order going forward,” Mr. Priebus said regarding expansion of Mr. Trump’s immigration action. Administration officials stuck to the initial list of seven Mideast and North African nations — Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Libya and Yemen — banned under executive order since they were “already been codified and identified” as presenting a terrorist threat by the Obama White House and Congress, he said.
“This is all done for the protection of Americans,” Mr. Priebus said. “President Trump is not willing to get this wrong.”

Simple solution is to cancel all green cards, all visas, including H1B and L1. Do this for all countries. Then there is no problem with who is being singled out. Let the Trump administration’s new staff and directives then filter people reentering or coming to the United States for the first time.
The medias heads are already all explodey, what are they gonna do for an encore?

15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi nationals.
Saudi Arabia should definitely be on the list.
It’s a Pakistani cleric that is operating the training camps across America.
Pakistan should definitely be on the list.
who knew Reince had a pair! POTUS 45 brings out the best in everyone...
He might want to throw in Belgium, Malmo, the Arrondissement of Paris, and the like. Places where ISIS is particularly successful at finding recruits.
Saudi Arabia and Pakistan definitely SHOULD be on the restricted travel list. Both are known ‘bakeries’ of terrorists and their training grounds. Expanding the list may even increase it’s credibility. Everyone knows that the Saudi’s promote and export terror, but since they have billion dollar investments around the world, the Saudis are rarely called out on this. They are used to literally buying silence and passivity. It worked with the Bushes and Obama.
lol
THe funniest part is, they haven’t learned a damn thing yet. They still don’t know why Trump won, and why he’s doing what he is doing with the support of the majority.
Also, if Trump just wanted to “ban Muslims” (which he does NOT) then wouldn’t he have banned those from Indonesia, which is the largest muslim country with 87%?
Then it must drive the media nuts, in the midst of all this hoopla to see Trumps approval rating trending steadily upward...
Hahahahaha!

GOOD!
They need to ban “students” from these countries too. Get them out of our universities.
That is what I’m talking about - the country list needs to be widely expanded.
if Trump kicks out the Saudis, he will probably be a greater president than Reagan.
Yes. Oust the ringleaders.
He sure can, and I think he will. The current seven countries on the travel ban list are only the opening salvo. There will be more, as our intelligence agencies uncover information about terrorist threats emanating from other muslim hellholes.
I've been saying for some time that we need to have a (minimum) 25 year moratorium on immigration, just on general principles.
One in seven people now currently in this country are of foreign birth. From what I've read, it's the highest percentage of foreign born we've ever had here.
We've taken in far too many, much too fast to allow for proper assimilation. No country can survive an invasion such as the one we're undergoing. It's destructive to the cohesion and basic character of our nation to allow it to continue at the current pace.
An army of lambs led by a lion is preferred to an army of lions led by a lamb.
If we’re not careful, we’re gonna have an army of lions led by a lion.
