A lot of the usual suspects - McCain, Graham, Rubio, Portman, Flake, Sasse, Collins, Kasich, a couple other senators which are Corker and Gardner and then there are various Congress folks.

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."

This is absolutely false. Obama did it with Iraq for 6 months. A President has that authority. Here is a link to the law:

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.

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.


Every traitor in America uses some variation of these words. Every single one.

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.

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.

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

BREAKING NEWS FLASH:

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.”

“”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?…
Posted on January 28, 2017 by sundance

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!


President Trump didn’t designate those 7 countries in banning their people from flying to America, former President Obama did!

Trump didn’t ban just Muslims. His order bans all people from Obama’s list of 7 terrorist countries

Some of these morons just don’t get it.

1. 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 propaganda by ISIS for recruiting”
You mean you’re confused. We are not the breeding ground for terrorists.
2. 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.”
I hate to tell you but a more thorough screening process based upon rave4 or religion is considered profiling. And we all know what happens there.
3. 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.”
His order was fully considered. It has two int4entions. One, to keep Muslim terrorists out of the country, and two, to let them know we mean business doing it. We are not going to to fold and run.
4. 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.”
If you’ve got a better idea that has not been used before, then start singing fat lady.
5. 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.”
Work with congress? Show me what you’ve done. I can come up with a lot of points of your failures like Orlando nightclub shooting. Well done, idget!
6. Rep. Barbara Comstock: “The President’s Executive Order issued yesterday went beyond the increased vetting actions that Congress has supported.”
Like what, Barbara? So far you guys have done nothing as people die inside our borders.
7. Sen. Susan Collins: “The worldwide refugee ban set forth in the executive order is overly broad and implementing it will be immediately problematic.
To guarantee we will not allow evil people to get inside our borders to kill us is problimatoic to who? Far as I can see, to the murderers.
8. Sen. Jeff Flake: “It’s unacceptable when even legal permanent residents are being detained or turned away at airports and ports of entry.”
How many of them are murderers or support them Jeff? Please point them out so we4 can get them.
9. Sen. Ben Sasse: “If we send a signal to the Middle East that the U.S. sees all Muslims as jihadis, the terrorist recruiters win by telling kids that America is banning Muslims and that this is America versus one religion. Our generational fight against jihadism requires wisdom.”
They already are stupid. This is why there are so many of them, there are over 75 million of them world wide. And again, which ones are they?
10. Sen. Rob Portman: “This was an extreme vetting program that wasn’t properly vetted.”
Give me another one
11. Sen. Cory Gardner: “I urge the Administration to take the appropriate steps to fix this overly broad executive order.”
Okay, then every time one of them kills someone for their cause in the US, you go to jail for supporting them.
12. Sen. Bob Corker: “This executive order has been poorly implemented, especially with respect to green card holders.”
No, it was well implemented. You just didn’t like the r4eason for it.
13. Sen. Lindsey Graham: “Such a hasty process risks harmful results.... And we should not turn our backs on those refugees who have been shown through extensive vetting to pose no demonstrable threat to our nation, and who have suffered unspeakable horrors, most of them women and children.” (in a statement with John McCain)
Graham, you have no idea what unspeakable horrors are. Can we say Orlando nightclub again. Those people did nothing to deserve that.
14.Sen. Marco Rubio: “While I am supportive of strengthening our screening processes and securing our borders, a blanket travel ban goes too far,” according to the Washington Post.
Repeat. Find something better.
15 Rep. Elise Stefanik: “I oppose President Trump’s rushed and overly broad Executive Order.”
Do you or not support anything?
16. Sen. Lamar Alexander: “This vetting proposal itself needed more vetting.”
And the wasted ink to cover your statement was also redundant.
17. Rep. Will Hurd: “This visa ban is the ultimate display of mistrust and will erode our allies’ willingness to fight with us.”
Allies don’t allow their people to kill our people.
18. Rep. Mike Coffman: “While I’ve supported heightened vetting procedures for those wanting to travel to our country, I have never, nor will I ever support a blanket travel ban for people solely based on ethnic or religious grounds.”
Grow up Mike. People are dying. Do your job.
19. Gov. John Kasich: “In probably many Arab capitals today, people are like, ‘What is America doing?’ He told WashPo.
In many Arab countries today, most of their people don’t even knows this happened. That’s why they are trapped in their own country by their government being fed mushroom food.
That’s enough. These people don’t have any idea what they are saying. They live in La La land. Nothing ever goes wrong there and they are safe. They cannot fathom the reality. They need to go.

It appears these 'esteemed colleagues' are unaware of 8 U.S. Code § 1182(f) - Inadmissible aliens paragraph, first sentence -

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

One wonders if Mister McCain (McCain should take "Mister" as an insult, as is its intent) believes that it's a fair trade: the unfathomably LOW regard for him from GOPers and Conservatives in exchange for heavy petting from the likes of NYT, WaPO, and approval from his less-than-non-popular and genuinely odd soulmate, Lindsey.

Poor ol' John, he don't realize that ISIS don't need a reason to recruit. Ascribing normal actions to animals.

We’re heading towards dictatorship. It’s not the Executive branch’s fault. The problem is Congress. They’re too afraid of the media. Congress is becoming more and more irrelevant.
