Methink a start but enemies of the Sate will get around them just not so many. We will be fighting terror cells still but now not whole armies like this is France.
You mean some of these terrorists just going to a non-Muslim country to board an airplane bound for the U.S?

Seldom do they directly come here anyway without some pit stop in between and so they get citizenship from France first. It just adds a few years or less.

Bad List imo causes much distress regarding all past work at building Peace in the world. Now Iran has banned Americans from entering Iran. what would you expect?
If you want to go with the list the country that the 9/11 perpetrators were from is not even on the list.
I prefer bridges to global peace
Does This whole thing seem to be creating a big separation, a Trumps war, if you will, between Muslims and Christians? imo yes
I agree with mr O the terrorists if they want too enter the US this action will not stop them, and might just might give them fuel to enflame their ideology.
Smart move, best thing that could have happened. Countries in Europe are already lamenting the fact they let them in due to the crime and terrorists coming in with the refugees.
The order I read was not about refugees; it was about immigration. Immigration from some countries has been halted for now. Religion wasn't part of it. Is there another order besides this one.
This should have been done a long time ago.
No need to act like we have not done this before. We have. It is prudent. It is part of keeping us safe.
@TM -- If you had actually read the helpful link excon provided, in the second paragraph you would have read:
"In an executive order that he said was part of an extreme vetting plan to keep out “radical Islamic terrorists,” Mr. Trump also established a religious test for refugees from Muslim nations: He ordered that Christians and others from minority religions be granted priority over Muslims."
All pigs are created equal, but some are more equal than others...;-D...
There is no link. You and Ex keep listening to the press for their opinion. Why not just read the order to see what it says rather than let the press put their spin on it. You might also like to know this is a temporary measure. And golly gee, the word Christian is nowhere in the EO. However, my opinion is Christians should have priority since their heads seem to be favored by ISIS.
Re: You might also like to know this is a temporary measure.
Oh, REALLY? How long has it been since 9/11/2001? In four months the Magic Pumpkinfuhrer is going completely solve the problem of international terrorism and lift the ban? What makes you think that?
I suspect the ban might be lifted when it becomes clear the courts will strike it down or the popular backlash reaches a high enough pitch, but that will be a political consideration, not an empirical one.
Re: "However, my opinion is Christians should have priority ..."
Yep, all pigs are created equal, but Christian pigs are more equal than F***ING HAJDI pigs. I note your special concern for the more-equal-than-others Christians doesn't extend to the Yazidis, who also have been severely persecuted by ISIS/ISIL.
I hereby reiterate the question I asked you which prompted my recent 2-week ban.
