I'm starting to think the immigration ban is a smokescreen to distract from Trump putting Bannon on the National Security Counsel, while simultaneously firing the 2 highest ranking Generals on that counsel who Trump did not appoint. This is straight up dictator stuff. We should all be extremely concerned.
Why? I never said it would be ok to ban islam. However we are under no obligation to accept anyone. Becoming a citizen is a privilege, not a right and we can discriminate the living bejesus out of this one and make damn sure we only accept people who will be a net benefit for the country.
I don't see Trump's presidency surviving for four years, if he has already sparked a constitutional crisis in the first two weeks.

If we're citing "statistics" and "common sense" we might as well ban the demographic that commits almost all violent crimes right? Men in their 20s, ban em all.
Anyway, this ban includes green card residents who have lived here peacefully for decades and contribute to our society.

I mean they're consistent at least. Remember that time they tried to ban Lutheran immigration during the Troubles? Right? Right?
Funny thing. My family's church was recently vandalized (and attempted arson) by 3 middle aged white guys trying to blame Muslims for it by writing "ISIS" and "shiite" on the walls.
Somehow, I dont blame half the US population for that. Or even half the homeless population since one of them had problems with homelessness.
Oh we won by making them the POTUS and were gonna win again! And you leftists are responsible. You just refuse to admit to yourselves that not everyone is a self hating lunatic willing to believe every lie you tell us. Trump is gonna be in office for 8 years, thats a promise
Ahh, good old goal post moving. First the whole muslim ban agrument didn't work, because it was untrue, then you claim he's still letting in only christians, except that's not true either. It's actually "...to prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual’s country of nationality". Helps when you actually read what was signed. No where does that differentiate between christian, jewish, hindu or any other religion for that matter. So you were wrong there as well. Now it has to do with his business interests. You're adorable.

WTH are you talking about? I couldn't care less if we would ban everyone from gaining citizenship.. less is more sometimes. We are under no obligating to allow any immigration whatsoever. However, whats wrong with accepting people who have proven to be a benefit for the country?
Some comments here make me think America is doomed
You do realize that more than a few of us, including myself, are on the right, correct?
It's just that us real Americans haven't let ourselves be comprehensively defeated and terrified by ISIS the way you alt-Reich extremists have been.
When this is over, we'll have held on to our principles and will press as big, if not bigger, an undo button on Trump as he just has on Obama. Meanwhile, you'll be back at the lunatic fringe, again, and have spent the next 1,2, 3 or 4 years abandoning our American principles in the name of terror and failing moral test after moral test.
Basically Cherise, the majority of Americans, who reject Trumpism and reject you, will have a rather easy time living with ourselves. You people have already compromised yourselves for life. The crazy train offered many chances for you to get off. And you never did.
And it's only destination is a brick wall. Because that is the inevitable end of all crazy trains.
"Previous administrations made it “almost impossible” for Syrian Christian refugees to gain admission, Trump told the Christian Broadcasting Network Friday, although they were “horribly treated” in their country.
“If you were a Muslim you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible,” he said. “I thought it was very, very unfair. So we are going to help them.”
"Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked Giuliani if the ban had anything to do with religion.
"How did the president decide the seven countries?" she asked. "Okay, talk to me."
"I'll tell you the whole history of it," Giuliani responded eagerly. "So when [Trump] first announced it, he said, 'Muslim ban.' He called me up. He said, 'Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally."
