It’s only been a week since Donald Trump was sworn in as President of the United States, and he has already implemented waves of change in the way the country protects itself.
During the campaign, the dark horse Republican candidate won over voters with his calls to better vet the thousands of refugees pouring into the US from the Middle East. With the spate of terrorist attacks in Europe as well as the occurrence of several here, it is understandable, to say nothing of imperative, that we overhaul the vetting process that determines whether or not people should be admitted within our borders.
Now that the election is over and he is safely ensconced in the White House, Trump is wasting no time and making good on his promises, using his executive power to introduce and implement his new security policies.

Just days after President Trump’s executive order directing the nation’s immigration and security services to deny entry to refugees from seven countries assessed to pose serious terror risks to the US until the administration devises a way to better vet them, two Iraqi migrants were stopped and held at JFK Airport. This development signals the commitment of the White House to its national security agenda:
“The lawyers representing the two detained Iraqis, Hameed Khalid Darweesh and Haider Sameer Abdulkhaleq Alshawi, told TheNYT they were not allowed to meet with their clients when they learned they had been detained. When they asked who they should talk to regarding their case, a Customs and Border Protection agent reportedly told them to “call Mr. Trump.”
They filed a writ of habeas corpus early Saturday in New York demanding their clients be released, and filed a motion for class certification so that they might represent all refugees and immigrants who say they are being unlawfully detained.
“These are people with valid visas and legitimate refugee claims who have already been determined by the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security to be admissible and to be allowed to enter the U.S. and now are being unlawfully detained,” Doss told TheNYT.”

Of course! this is against what america stands for and its stance of being the land of the free!
I thought we live in the freest country in the world?
But he 1st amendment is still for freedom of religion in this country. Immigration is part of that since this country was founded on it. How is this different from what we said about the Catholics 100 years ago?
I believe the past of Christianity has the same stances. Look up the Crusades, the Conquistadors in the new world, and the Missions of California. Please explain to me why this is different?
They evolved. Islam didnt
So…?
Please look at how the vetting of immigrates as worked in the past. It was pretty damn hard to get into this country. All this is has done is made Americans less safe cause now the Terrorist have an actual reason to hate us now.
If Christians were stuck in the 12th century still committing the atrocities, I’d be speaking out against them also. But they’re not and the islamists are.
Werent these Muslims from Saudi Arabia too? I believe 15 of the 19 involved? Also Osama was in Pakistan. Why are those not on the list?
we arenot all muslims we are not killers should take that bord and hit him over his head with it
