Headline is a lie. Thee is no Muslim ban! (There should be, but there isn’t)

[central_va]

I call Bull Squat. More globalist scare tactics/agitprop.

[central_va]

Why are you being so nice?

[cymbeline]

“I know a young Syrian lawyer who’s trying to move here from Saudi Arabia to start a business in America”

And perhaps also set off bombs.

[gogeo]

If this scribe favors open borders, let him say so.

If he believes American lives are worth the risk, let him explain why.

[Organic Panic]

STOP ADOPTING THE LANGUAGE OF THE LIEBERALS!!! It is NOT a muslim ban. It is NOT a travel ban.

And really? The US economy CAN’T survive without 6 months without Somali and Sudanese immigrants?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Indeed.

All they are doing is paving over original lands, farmland, prairie, crowding the cities, urban sprawl, destroying habitats, causing pollution, traffic, education issues, crime, drugs, overpopulation, welfare, conflicts, terror

We don’t need them. It hardly makes sense to abort a million Americans a year and replace them with unappreciative Third Worlders.

And since we can’t take them all, why take any? Isnt that what the left tells us . .since we can’t kick em all out, why deport any one?

[Rebelrage]

OMG! A trade war with Yemen! Our economy will tank! Where will we get our child sex slaves?

[Behind Liberal Lines]

It’s not a Muslim ban.

Fake news.

[RightGeek]

Don’t forget the Sudan and Somalia too!

[Secret Agent Man]

They didnt care about businesses under obama, suffering, because of government edicts by the fairy king.

[Ford4000]

Not because they were big fish in a small pond but rather because pride and arrogance is baked into their culture. It is the reason they find Islam so attractive - it appeals to their toxic pride.

[husky ed]

Great facts. Much pie charts

[terycarl]

I know a young Syrian lawyer who's trying to move here from Saudi Arabia to start a business in America and is stymied in his diligent efforts to start a new life. The whole prospect of immigration discrimination is un-American.

Saudi Arabia is not on the list....terrorism is un-American as is being beheaded. Tell your friend to stay home, join his country's military and restore order to his own country.

[sergeantdave]

One can always count on Forbes to look stupid several times a day.

[PIF]

Its all those IT specialists and coders coming out of those countries - those people are extremely well educated and literate - just look to all those Somalis in MN ... /s

[SuziQ]

So how much of US business comes from those seven countries? There are some students from those nations, but as far as large amounts of money coming into the US economy, I don’t think a 90 day or 120 day pause or ban or what have you, is going to make a hill of beans difference in our economy.
