So far, 20 GOPers have announced opposition to or questioned Trump's executive order banning travelers and refugees from 7 countries from entering the U.S.
Sen. John McCain: "There's so much confusion out there," McCain said on "Face the Nation." "Obviously this process and these conclusions were not vetted." He warned the order could be used as propganda by ISIS for recruiting.
Rep. Carlos Curbelo: "I expect that these executive orders are in fact temporary and that once the Administration strengthens the vetting process, we can continue our tradition of welcoming those who are persecuted in an orderly manner and without any kind of religious test."
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: "I object to the suspension of visas from the seven named countries because we could have accomplished our objective of keeping our homeland safe by immediate implementation of more thorough screening procedures."
Rep. Charlie Dent: "This is ridiculous. I guess I understand what his intention is, but unfortunately the order appears to have been rushed through without full consideration. You know, there are many, many nuances of immigration policy that can be life or death for many innocent, vulnerable people around the world."
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick: "While we certainly need to enhance our current vetting process and significantly reform our immigration policies to make sure terrorists are not exploiting our nation's proud tradition of freedom and acceptance, the President's policy entirely misses the mark."
Rep. Justin Amash: "It's not lawful to ban immigrants on basis of nationality. If the president wants to change immigration law, he must work with Congress."
Rep. Barbara Comstock: "The President's Executive Order issued yesterday went beyond the increased vetting actions that Congress has supported..."
Sen. Susan Collins: "The worldwide refugee ban set forth in the executive order is overly broad and implementing it will be immediately problematic.

The RINO brother of RINO Michael Fitzpatrick, who used his brother's name recognition to ooze into office thus keeping the congressional seat in the family. He has been in this job only a few weeks, and he's already on his knees servicing the Republicuck management. He never endorsed Trump, and he's already an embarrassment. /spit
The list opposing Trump’s immigration Executive Order:
Sen. John McCain, Rep. Carlos Curbelo, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Rep. Charlie Dent, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, Rep. Justin Amash, Rep. Barbara Comstock, Sen. Susan Collins, Sen. Jeff Flake, Sen. Ben Sasse, Sen. Rob Portman, Sen. Cory Gardner, Sen. Bob Corker, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Marco Rubio, Rep. Elise Stefanik, Sen. Lamar Alexander, Rep. Will Hurd, Rep. Mike Coffman and Gov. John Kasich.
“Rep. Barbara Comstock: “The President’s Executive Order issued yesterday went beyond the increased vetting actions that Congress has supported...”
Blah blah blah. I know she walks a fine line but her constant Trump hand-wringing shows her lack of a principled, conservative spine.
It’s not lawful to discriminate against US CITIZENS on the basis of national origin. This is a really dumb Republican.
The usual schmucks, no surprises here. They’re off the Trump train and, therefore, against We The People.
Rep. Justin Amash: “It’s not lawful to ban immigrants on basis of nationality.”
It is ABSOLUTELY lawful! He can do it for any reason or no reason and to ANY CLASS!
He warned the order could be used as propganda by ISIS for recruiting.
Actually it is 100% legal to ban immigrants in total.
Every Republican in this category that goes against Trump needs to be defeated.The Democrat Party will not be happy until there is blood in the streets.If it must be so be it. I do not want it to happen. I AM 77 YEARS OF age and will volunteer to be on the front lines. My life is over but I am willing to die for those I love. The Democrats are Evil,Demon possessed. THE ATE TO SELF CENTERED AND FOLLOW George Sorts and his money.
McCain, Graham, Rubio, Corker, Alexander, Heller, Hoeven, Hatch, Murkowsky and Flake all voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill.
They have already demonstrated that they are not on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
The Ruling Class’ Objective #1:
“Get Trump.”
After Trump, they come for us.
Yep, the usual suspects, the Cheap Labor Express Republicans.
Dear Mr Putin
I know you don’t owe us anything, but if you could find it in your heart, please release your dossier on John McCain so he will shut up
We would be really grateful
thanks
20 Republicans Who Didn't Criticize Barack Obama's 6 Month Ban On Iraqi Muslims In 2011 Now Criticize Trump
“The Obama Administration Stopped Processing Iraq Refugee Requests For 6 Months In 2011”
“November 18, 2015 By Sean Davis”
“Although the Obama administration currently refuses to temporarily pause its Syrian refugee resettlement program in the United States, the State Department in 2011 stopped processing Iraq refugee requests for six months after the Federal Bureau of Investigation uncovered evidence that several dozen terrorists from Iraq had infiltrated the United States via the refugee program.”
http://thefederalist.com/2015/11/18/the-obama-administration-stopped-processing-iraq-refugee-requests-for-6-months-in-2011/
“”Obviously this process and these conclusions were not vetted.””
But we have McCain’s assurance that ALL refugees are properly vetted...what a dunce! We need to separate all refugees when they get here and make sure we place them in each of the districts of the representatives who have no problem with them being here. Let’s make sure they are distributed fairly to all who want them here.. Communities behind security gates - no problems! Let them in, make them feel at home! Cities can’t handle them but those communities certainly can with dwellings that could house 10-12 people easily! Bring them on.
You nailed it.
President Trump didn’t designate those 7 countries in banning their people from flying to America, President Obama did!
Epic – Is Team Trump Baiting Liberal Media and Refugee Protesters By Using Obama’s Own Policy?…

Why would the text of President Trump’s Executive Order suspending travel visas be readily available on CNN , New York Times, Wall Street Journal , but not on White House page ?
I don’t think it’s accidental. The limiting Visa program was President Obama’s action, not President Trump. See link below for full story!
Trump didn’t ban just Muslims. His order bans all people from Obama’s list of 7 terrorist countries
Thanks for the list... I will PHONE THEM ALL TOMORROW.
Please Freepers!!! PLEASE!!
Do this for TRUMP.
PHONE THESE LAME SENATORS offices tomomrrow and let them know the VOTERS are holding their feet to the fire!!
Amash is a moron.
I am 75 years old and agree with you 100%.
PHONE them tomorrow for starters... all of them.
Then we will do what we can to drain the rest of the swamp that Trump can’t drain!
