Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting

“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.

We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.

This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.

I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”

The usual BS, including the usual attack on the media.

If he wasn't so chickenshit, he'd be answering questions from the media.

1. Sorry, that is not a link to a reputable news source

[unblock]

2. "it's not a '*muslim*' ban, it's about protecting us from 'radical *islamic* terrorists'"

"oh and by the way, we're letting in *christians*."

"so there's no religious test, see?"

3. He can't put together a coherent sentence.

How can he give a statement?

4. If he doesn't knock it off the people are going to get so angry they bum rush the White House

5. Trump is lying about this issue

6. How long till he posts enough evidence to hold it against him???

At this rate, we'll have enough proof of him doing something illegal or unconstitutional to put him in a cab, and send him back underneath his rock. Moron. Talk about stupid crook stories.

7. I doubt if he tweeted that....looks like something a staffer posted

8. Oh don't bring up Obama, you worthless fraud.

If Obama couldn't talk about his predecessor, why should you?
