"Unlawful" and "extreme" is how West Michigan Rep. Justin Amash described President Donald Trump's executive order to ban refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries.
"It's not lawful to ban immigrants on the basis of nationality," Amash said in the statement.
Trump's order blocks citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Libya from entering the country for at least 90 days. It also bans refugees from anywhere in the world for 120 days -- and from Syria indefinitely.
"Ultimately, the executive order appears to be more about politics than safety," Amash said. "If the concern is radicalism and terrorism, then what about Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and others?"
Unlike many Republicans who endorsed Trump when he secured the GOP nomination, Amash never formally gave the candidate his support. He said he would neither vote for Trump nor Hillary Clinton, and would remain critical of Trump's decisions in office.

Yep. That’s next.
Can’t deport the dreamers!

Thanks, Hoosiermama.
No kidding! I thought I was recovered from my whiplash I incurred during the primaries due to dp changing his/her mind every other day.
I see my neck is starting to hurt again from those weak in the knees.
I presume you are using the archaic version of the word, i.e.”the serpent in the Garden was very subtle”...
You presume correctly.
Nah.
Trump is not precise in that sense.
Certainly you may be, certainly he could have been but he writes like he talks in fits & starts with pauses.
The punctuation not withstanding there would have been no point to saying “if they don’t get on the team, & fast.” if the following sentence or clause (which would have been more grammatically correct) did not refer back to the if.
You guys are fun. It was indeed odd to post a 2 month old article at this point without the motive to denigrate the freedom caucus. I didn’t pick up on that until you mentioned it.
; )
I was all in for Cruz. Then Trump came down that escalator. Started talking in actual English language about illegal aliens and refugees from places where they want us all dead. It hit me hard right then.
And from that point on, my other choice, Cruz, started to sorely disappoint, and even show that he was not who he pretended to be. Cruz is brilliant and a constitutional scholar, but he wasn’t American on paper until age 16, entered the country as a foreigner, and pretends to be so holy while having these cheesy (literally) affairs everywhere. Like a televangelist. He’s just not good or honest. And not being a billionaire, he’d be beholden to others as Pres.
So now we wait and support and hope and pray. Some good segments on Hannity tonight, good commentary.
A REPUBLIC shouldn’t have a MASSIVE health care law and a president who got into office LARGELY because of conservative support should be hitting at RINOs, not conservatives.
**********************************************
That’s something you’ve posted to which I can agree!
The Fed Gov’t. has no business trying to run the health insurance system.
Donald Trump Haters from the “Conservative Movement” have not helped their cause in the last year or more.
Back in January 2016 I saw Glenn Beck turn his back to protest in Oregon, fearing violence but not willing to commit his peaceful spirit to the situation.
More worried about trashing Trump than helping the unjustly jailed ranchers, the Hammonds.
I ended up supporting Trump as an alternative to these Russia Hating Trump Hating types like Beck and Levin.
I hope President Trump releases those people and takes other steps to bring justice to the Oregon protest case and the Nevada protest from April 2014.
Those Trump Haters must have subordinated themselves to the foreign interests that want war with Russia.
the Quinnie poll you're using has been bandied from here to Tripoli. Jim Jordan mentioned it this morning. It is a bit odd, tho, it came out 4 days after the Fox poll that showed:
Overall, 34 percent favor the current Republican plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. And while a majority of Republicans favors it (69 percent), a sizable minority is either against it (15 percent) or unsure (16 percent). Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats oppose the GOP health care plan (86 percent

released yesterday, Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll - under 40 percent approval, couched against their 'over 60 percent disapprove' of the way Trump is handling health care.

. Maybe that 17% is how many Democrats approve?
polls is polls is polls
Seriously, I expect him to start with that hateful kook, Amash. I would like to help. :)
Freedom Caucus doesn’t speak for me and I let my congressman know it.
I stand with Trump all the way!
Your name calling is way out of line!
Agree
Once again this idiot makes a fool of himself....
‘30 guys can’t elect a Speaker against 200+ RINOs.’
That’s true. However, the FC could have prevented Ryan from becoming Speaker. Instead, they enthusiastically backed him.
Other than opposing Trump, what merits that comment? I may not agree with several of his positions, such as on the immigration EO, but he doesn't deserve demonization. Several here imply he is an Islamicist. That is not true:
Born in Grand Rapids, and raised in Kentwood, Michigan, Amash is a second-generation Arab-American of Palestinian Christian and Syrian Greek Orthodox descent. His father, Attallah, is a Palestinian business owner, whose family emigrated to the United States in 1956 through the sponsorship of a Christian pastor and his family. His mother, Mimi, is a Syrian immigrant to the United States.
Amash attended Kelloggsville Christian School in Kelloggsville and graduated as class valedictorian from Grand Rapids Christian High School. He graduated from the University of Michigan magna cum laude with a B.A. in economics and earned his J.D. at the University of Michigan Law School in 2005. Amash admires economists F. A. Hayek and Frédéric Bastiat.
Amash is married and the father of three children. He belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch.
After graduating from the University of Michigan, he became a consultant to his family's tool business. He worked as a corporate attorney for his family's business for a year, before being elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2008.
Well Trump was just following the law that was written for the President..
