Am I missing something. Lots of those mentioned have been in the US a long time and have had time to become a citizen. Why haven’t they become citizens?

I’m sorry for some of these people but, they alive, as opposed to those who died on 911 and the hundreds of thousands since.

Islam is sick and the patient needs to heal itself.

They should be grateful The - - United States Marines aren’t adding another verse to their song.

A few hours after taking part in the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., he left the U.S. to do ethnographic research in Afghanistan.

Sounds exactly like the sort of "Muslim" Democrats, college professors and social media moguls want here.

Well. I wrote a good comment but found I must join LinkedIn to comment which I won’t do.

Trump endangers entire world:

New Phd graduate could not immediately join long term medical study exactly duplicating countless other studies now in progress.

Minorities and immigrants hurt most.

And the Muslim ban will cause athlete’s foot and halitosis. These hysterical media pronouncements are ridiculous.

There are people all over the world who dream of coming to America. We are under no obligation to allow them all to come.

Furthermore, it is completely possible for someone to study science for nefarious purpose. And apparently, it is more likely for a jihadist to have a degree in science or engineering than any other discipline, if they are college educated--at least, according to this editorial, Are scientists easy prey for jihadism? published in The Guardian in 2015.

Yes, we are justified in putting a stay on a post-doctoral scholar until she can be vetted properly.

You know what they say about that in Russia.

Toughski shitski.

Well, that’s what they said during the cold war.

Now they say, “Beslan.”

No pigdog murder muzzies wanted. Not now; not ever.

“There is excellent research being done in the U.S. but I won’t have the opportunity to even think about there now,” she says.

Our concern is the security of America and the safety of our families, not her immediate employment.

Is she irreplaceable?

Will the study collapse without her?

Will MIT's prestige take a hit because she could not immediately accept employment there?

Good maybe an American gets a chance now, plus I am so fed up with all these sob stories and this fake outrage by the left and media.

This article makes no sense.

One thing, though, slipped by them: “Even before Trump, it was already pretty rough; this will make it even more difficult.”

Wasn’t some of the 9/11 killers also engineers? So just because someone has a PHD or is smart does not mean they should come here.

Immigrant scientists: doing the work American scientists are having too much fun spending their checks for ‘climate change’ research on drugs and prostitutes to do!
