Chief of Staff Reince Priebus Suggests Trump Could Expand Country List Under Travel Ban

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.

I totally agree. Start all over again with a clean slate and vet using current /Trump standards.

The bad guys in this country running ISIS training camps need to disappear.
