I personally think the entire world should start boycotting Trump's businesses and US products until they elect a competent adult as President.
And those are a lot of potential voters. Probably Democrat ones. This is about long term demographics imo. Basically WASPs protectionism. Misguided or not these are bound to be motivations.
When has an individual from Iran been a cause of terrorism in USA?
I read it gets around it as its apllied to only certain countries. Malaysians aren't affected for example. Whereas Christian Syrians presumably are.
Never really.
You can perhaps make a link between Iran and the 83 US Embassy bombing in Beirut, but nothing that has involved an Iranian national.
There are sure to be lawsuits, so we'll find out through those. But unfortunately from what I understand the law does grant the executive a pretty broad mandate to allow/deny visitors.
Yes, but it's mostly a red herring. Cheap migrant labor is good for most sectors.
Immigration is a net positive for the US; this is an out growth of Xenophobia that has its roots in a sentimentality for a post WWII America which will never be replicated.
Surprise surprise
Anyone on here still think the blackmail dossier is fake?

That would hardly count though since it happened to US troops stationed in Lebanon. A ban on individual Iranians entering the US isn't gonna prevent US troops abroad being a target. Ridiculous ban.
Yeah absolutely, the fact that's the closest yet most tenuous link you can draw between Iran, terrorism and the US just echos how ridiculous the ban is.
To be fair, Iran is probably the nation most guilty of state-sponsored terrorism that has affected the US.
Are you all depressed enough about Trump yet? No, I don't think so. Here you go..

You mean apart from the Saudis princes who supposedly funded the 9/11 attackers?
What a fecking country. The solution is always to kill your enemies.
The world's gone completely to shit. Strongmen, nationalists and idiots in power or on the verge of power everywhere.
Reasonable chance we will all be dead by this time next year.

Between the tennis today I saw Pence on the news, in this supposed 'March for life'.
Many people in the USA have problematic prejudice against certain immigrants; especially about Muslims but also about Mexicans. Mexican immigrants (including illegals) are less likely to commit violent crimes compared to US citizens. Yet somehow they are the rapists. I also think (100% sure so), that not a single citizen from any of the banned countries has actually committed any terrorist attack in the USA since 9/11. Muslims in the USA are extremely well integrated, but people have a completely different view, because they hear all this fear mongering in the media for over a decade now. The US administrations pushed the narrative that they have to fight overseas to keep them save. It is not that hard to see why people agree with the conclusion that you should ban Muslims from some of these countries.
How the new administration is going to handle Iran will be interesting. Flynn believes every conspiracy that exist ("Flynn-facts") and echoes many of the crazy believes of Michael Ledeen (they wrote a book). They see Iran as the ultimate evil in the world that is trying to destroy the USA (with countries like Nicaragua or Honduras). Bannon believes in the ultimate clash of civilisation: Judeo-Christian west vs evil Muslims. Not sure if John Bolton is still in the race to get any job, but he'd complete the unholy trinity of lunatics. Add the very strong influence of Israel in this administration (e.g. Kushner) and it doesn't come as a surprise that Iran might be in for a treat.
I guess Mattis is by far the least crazy person when it comes to foreign policy and he is hardly a dove. At least he is keeping the nuclear deal alive.
That's nothing new, unfortunately, watch a documentary called "Gods Next Army"
I saw it years ago on Channel 4 in the UK, one of the scariest and most depressing things I have watched. It really seems as if much of their work is beginning to come to fruition and have an effect now too.

No, I mean terrorism directed by the highest authority of the state.
Was wondering why Trump was attacking the NYT on Twitter:

So screaming Obamacare is bad repeatedly for years with no stated plan other than "we're gonna repeal it" and "we're gonna make something better" seems to have caused a bit of a panic now they actually have to come up with something.

Wasn't he found dead on Boxing Day?What a surprise.
Here he goes again, complete with piss poor spelling and grammar.
Such a pathetic and damaged man.

Don't think I can recall a new POTUS making such an impact on one week

We live in a broken world.
They don't call them the mafia state for nothing.
To be fair to Trump he is doing exactly what he had outlined.
He's going against Muslims due to terrorism but guns kill way way more people than terrorism does.

Yep. This happens around the time the senior cyberintelligence official is arrested for treason along with the Kaspersky Lab manager.
To top it off, the head of the FSB’s Information Security Center gets fired.
True. I think some people like me, thought he may pivot to his old pre-election self and moderate his views and policies. But he's doing exactly what he campaigned to do, which makes sense when you think about it, as he has to keep his base happy otherwise his popular support will erode quickly.
I think maybe a Somali or someone of Somali origin might have done something a while back but yeah, as I pointed out earlier the Tsarnaevs were Russian citizens and San Bernardino, after which Trump first suggested this ban, was a Pakistani guy.

Getting seriously worried now. I'm a Muslim American of Pakistani origin. If they can block green card holders, what's to say they can't block citizens?
I thought this new policy only applies to future refugees.
Why the heck are they refusing people who have green cards and are residing in the USA, but gone abroad for holidays?

Nope. it's green card holders who were outside the country when the order was passed. Literally fecking creating refugees out of permanent US residents.
This is fascism plain and simple. We're past worrying how bad things could be, If Trump gets his way there will be a genocide.
Well don't worry about the citizenship issue. Anyone with a passport is obviously in a different category to this.
