Donald Trump is expanding his Muslim ban, not rolling it back
WAPO ^ | July 24, 2016 | Jenna Johnson

Donald Trump made clear this weekend that he has not rolled back his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, despite top allies insisting that he had.

In accepting the Republican nomination on Thursday night, Trump said the country "must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time it's proven that vetting mechanisms have been put in place." Trump made no mention of Muslims in the speech, leading many to conclude that Trump had formally changed his position — just as a number of his top allies, including his running mate, said he had.

During an interview this weekend with NBC's "Meet the Press," host Chuck Todd asked Trump whether his comment should be interpreted as a "slight rollback."

An NBC analyst, just after Trump’s convention speech, began to hyperventilate because Trump did not use the word “ban”; Trump used the words carefully restrict, or something like that (meant the same). This analyst actually thought the he was being super-perceptive to notice that on he own; tried to make out that by leaving out the word “ban” that Trump was back pedaling. I don’t think the other analysts bought into his brilliant analysis.

I’ve always thought that much of the “vetting process” was going to set the bar very high — show us your drivers license, and proof of employment for 20 years, and proof of residence in your home country for 20 years, and this, and that, and ...

With the result that no one from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc would ever be allowed in to the US.

Personally, I would want to offer refuge to persecuted Christians facing genocide. HOWEVER the US must first 100% guarantee that Islamic terrorists do not come through the system. Everything else must be of secondary importance.

Trump is Patton, blitzkrieging and rolling his tanks across Leftist PC territory full tilt with no intention of slowing down.

America is starting to win again and I LOVE IT!!!

Okay - expand it like this Anyone whom is considered a muslim convert or the child of a an Moslem who was on a student visa and a progeny (child) was a result of the union - case in point Odumbo shall be exiled from America to the birth place of the worthless bastardized child’s father’s birthplace - Kenya. odumbo should be encouraged to leave the US and leave everything he stole from America. he can live in a grass hut like his brother . There is the correct expansion - getting rid of the parasites.

Civil wars in Libya and Syria....Wrong. GWB had tamed Quadafffy in the Iraq incursion and Assad had been a stabilizing influence throughout the Levant. Obama, but mostly HRC wanted their gold and fomented rebellion. The rebellion comes from outside of the respective countries, most probably Iran, and our SOS supports this crap because he gets a slice of the gold also.

When did America become Muslim refugee central?

It is part of Hussein Obama's mandate, it accelerted when the he became America's first Muslim President. As a Muslim, he hates America as it is. His conversion of America to Islam can only happen if the US is flooded with peaceful Muslims.

The few per cent who kill infidels will make it all happen quicker. And the "peaceful" Muslims will support the terrorists.

Flooding the west with Muslims is the major part of destroying the west, i.e. enslaving American and Europe in an Islamic hell. Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President and his terrorist supporters think Americans are idiots and will let it happen. So far, they are right.

I don’t really see a big expansion. Now it’s “countries compromised by terrorism”.

Sounds fine to me.
