Nothing wrong with it at all. It's a temporary ban on individuals from high-risk countries until a review lasting a few weeks has been carried out on the USA immigration system which will determine stricter measures to be put in place to better vet against the entry of potential security threats. Pretty logical procedure.

Are we really to believe that such reviews haven't taken place before? What happens if the facts don't match what Trump has decided to make up in his head? It all stinks to me if I'm honest.
Good post, in the present system that is certainly correct.
The constitution is interpreted by 9 judges. They have to decide if banning people from 90% Muslim countries = banning Muslims, and if they have the authority to contradict executive action on national security. On both counts they're likely to say no.
It's a small thing in the context of a man who spews so much drivel but his complete failure to grasp what the "fake news" phrase is actually about is bugging me.
We are definitely the bad guys
If the facts don't match then he'll have to abide by them, he's a successful businessman and not stupid enough to overrule his own appointed secretaries. He made a pledge during the election campaign to reassess immigration policy, he got voted in, he's able to do this with his executive orders, so now he's doing it with a "better safe than sorry" approach.
I'm sure similar reviews have been taking place all the time but never by a non-hyper sensitive PC politician.
This from a guy who claims he worked in the white house when Clinton was there.
Because they are racists
The uncertainty around green card holders makes absolutely no sense. It basically punishes whoever was unlucky enough to be travelling when the announcement was made. Why not also withdraw all green cards given to people from those countries?
Disgusting
Dont give him ideas.
It's her fault for wearing a short skirt
Aye. Aside from any sort of moral objections, it's simply bad government.
How's this liberal Republican thing working out.
Going on with what?
Best case scenario - this was only done so Trump can say he kept his promise and things will go back to normal after 3 months.
Honestly, those of you who didn't vote in the election should be ashamed of yourselves.
See my post above yours...there is no uncertainty.
Green card holders from those countries who are currently outside the US won't be allowed back in for the time being.
This is from DHS.
That's a big assumption
Wait and watch till he does something.
Yeah just saw that after posting. Also seeing reports on Twitter that they're being pressurized to sign a form giving up their green card at the airport and are not being allowed access to lawyers. Can't imagine what a nightmare this must be for those stuck at airports.
Thankfully I returned to the US (student visa) in December, I don't think I'll make thew trip next year.
Hopefully she suffers heavily politically for this, supreme cowardice mixed with sycophancy in rushing over there so quickly.
I'm more bugged by all the capitals. The content is just disturbingly entertaining, like watching motor racing for the crashes.
You don't think she said the right thing?
It's one thing to tell him to his face what she thinks of the US policy but quite another thing for her to cause friction by publicly criticising his every move. It would be utterly foolish. We don"t want a leader who chooses to come to blows with every foreign leader whose views we disagree with. Just think how many of those there are in the world.
Hahaha...take a poll in the UK, I bet at least 50% agree with Trump and want the UK to do the same.
The liberal elite
We've done loads of polling on Trump and his ideas, he's hated here to the extent that Nigel Farage has to say he doesn't agree with him on everything.
Maybe with this shit house of country who knows but with regards to Trump, he is deeply unpopular over here
Don't worry, he's focused on the waterboarder too.
If this is true, his presidency will end up shorter than Allardyce's England coaching career and we will be blessed with President Pence.
Neither Trump or his policies are popular in the U.K.
It's not true. Who the feck sits on news like this? It'd be on PornHub by now.
I don't know, the Brits have weird injunctions and gag orders in press over important news. May be they've been put on hold until May solidifies a trade deal or two in favor of the UK.
Not a chance. It was pragmatic.
This is why I said hopefully.
