"Trump?s immigration order is a reasonable step"

Trump's immigration policy is xenophobic and it hurts our country. Not only is it immoral, but it deprives our country of the talents of the immigrants, it weakens our intelligence-gathering, and it is a gift to ISIS recruiters. Moderate Muslims in the Middle East will now be more tempted to think "Wow, the US is declaring war on Muslims! I guess ISIS was right!" And this ban is not going to stop terrorists, since we've had a cautious and thorough screening process for years - it typically takes two years to get a visa to come here from a country like Syria. So Trump's policies won't reduce terrorism, they'll make it worse! It's tragic to see Trump weakening America.

You got it.
Liberals profess to be tolerant compared to their conservative counterparts. The truth is that liberals are only tolerant of people with whom they agree. Rather than using civil discourse to debate conservative thought, liberals seem to have an inherent tendency to demonize and demean the human value of their political opponents. If you oppose higher taxes and bigger government, it's because you are a greedy, selfish person. If you oppose affirmative action, it's because you are a racist. If you support enforcement of our immigration laws, you are bigot or a rabid dog.

Let's step back to Obama's "Red Line". Had Obama been a strong and decisive leader instead of an apologist, this immigration crisis would not be happening. The middle east has fallen into chaos under his watch. The left needs to step back and let the current administration sort it out.

RABBI SHMULEY: Obama Created Refugee Crisis. Trump Should End It.
The Syrian refugee crisis did not begin under Donald Trump, who is in office for 10 days. Rather, it came about through the callous and indifferent foreign policy of Barack Obama who refused to intervene in Syria, even as the slaughter there turned to genocide. Sunni Muslims, including children in Damascus and Aleppo, were being slaughtered by Shia militias, and Assad?s Alawite government, with the active support of Hezbollah and Iran. Obama did nothing.

Ridiculous. Trump decided not to include Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates because he has immense business enterprises in those countries, despite the fact that most of the terrorists that launched attacks here have origins in those countries ( none came from the countries he has targeted).

I've heard it before. None of the Islamic terrorists were from the 7 countries identified. And if any were I'm sure liberals would still vilify Trump anyway? The point is that these countries were identified (by Obama) as having a high likelihood of supporting Islamic terrorism and ISIS has said it wants to use refugees. Let's be prudent and try to identify potential risks before they enter the country. Remember, Trump has already stated that the U.S. will admit 50,000 refugees a year and once they are in the country it is much harder to detect potential terrorist threats, especially for the FBI these days.
Relax. It's a TEMPORARY ban (i.e. suspension). Trump has already changed the green card exception.

1. Let's face it.... no matter what Trump does liberals will probably not like it.
2. I'm tired of worrying that radical Muslims who already hate us enough to want to kill us, will now hate us even more. What's the difference?
3. Graham and McCain are entitled to their opinions. Not everything Trump does will get the support of all Republicans and that's OK.
4. Spicer said it correctly. The U.S. is granting a privilege to refugees and immigrants who want to enter this country. It is not a right and we should do it on our terms. They are free to immigrate to other countries.

Anyone who believes that the slipshod, haphazard Executive Order of last Friday is not a ban on Muslims should consider the fact that a Muslim ban is precisely what Mr. Trump publicly espoused until he had to back away from it after the heat became too intense. The country whose natives have posed the greatest threat to us is Saudi Arabia, yet its residents remain free to come here. I wonder if the writer feels that the detaining of individuals at airports was good thing, whether the roundup went "very nicely" and was carried out "professionally" as the president had the audacity to say. "Anonymous" is correct. There is every reason to conclude that a man whose life has been dedicated solely to the accumulation of wealth and boasting about it left off the banned list those countries in which he has business interests.

Countless people called on President Obama to pursue policies that would rescue the innocent people of Syria. He steadfastly refused. The result was not only the murder of 500,000 Arab men, women, and children, but the displacement of millions of refugees, which is the crisis we now face.
There can be no question that America must take in immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants. But these people should have never been forced to flee their homes in the first instance. The West should have stopped Assad from butchering his people at the source. Obama should have led the charge.
Now we have this crisis, and America must accept the refugees it can while still vetting immigrants to make sure American citizens are safe. President Trump is having to address a vast humanitarian crisis created by Obama?s inaction.

The writer is correct that the temporary suspension is legally justifiable and prudent given that the U.S. has information that ISIS wants to use refugee programs to hide Islamic terrorists. However, liberals in the U.S. (especially influential college age ones) can only think with their hearts. Facts and common sense rarely enters into the equation.
The writer also has good facts and points about the persecution of Middle Eastern Christians that were completely ignored by the Obama administration. Then again, given the facts that the U.S. was founded on Christian principles, and hard core liberals hate the U.S. and want to blame it for all of the worlds evils, it is not surprising that some liberals could not care less about the death and torture of Christians.

The only solution to the refugee problem is for the free world to unite in establishing safe zones in the war torn countries. Just like us, these people need their normal lifestyles, habits, customs. Americans will always be leery of burkas, prayer rugs, foreign languages-all 9/11 flashbacks. A few may enjoy American government "perks", but most would rather live their normal lives at "home". Safe zones require a lot of planning, money and effort, but a united free world should be strong enough to provide it.

Trump unlike some of his predecessors assumed office during a period of relative calm in the country. The stock market had hit an all time high. The recession is gradually receding. There are no U.S. large scale military units deployed or engaged in military action. Mr. Trump should have had an easy time launching his presidency. Trump with an all time low popularity rating of 37% for an incoming president, started his first term like a bull in a china shop. Trump hired a right wing ideologue as his chief advisor. He hires his son in law as an aide despite a rule about nepotism in the White House. He winks at the blind trust idea how president's for forty years have handled their finances. Now he possibly has thumbed his nose at the Constitution by using religion as a ban on immigration. Trump has a small base only about 35-40% of the population. All those blue collar democrats who voted for Trump did so on the jobs he promised. They did not buy into this ideological nonsense. Trump and his authoritarian behavior may have opened some eyes that heretofore were closed.

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
