Originally posted by deanallison:One thing I can say about the recent events is I find it very uncomfortable seeing people stranded at airports, people who have spent maybe all they have to come to America, Ive always said regarding Trump let's wait and see what he does but I feel he could have went about this a much better way. It seems like he didn't give people enough notice to change there plans based on these bans and it's left them unfairly out of pocket, I might be wrong however, what was the timescale in terms of notice given to public and the ban coming into effect?
    Almost instantaneously. That's why there was so much confusion and people being detained and questioned for hours. Even with valid green cards and visas. Donald's explanation was that if we were to wait a week all the bad would try and come in because there are "a lot of bad dudes." https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/826060143825666051
  2. His tweeter feed alone makes me uncomfortable lol

    There hasn't been a terrorist attack in America from anyone from those banned countries since the 1970s. Before U2 were a band (to put the longevity into perspective). If there were any "real" threats, it would be the countries Trump does business with.... i mean the countries that aren't banned.
    Sure there is. Some of the terrorists went to these ISIS controlled areas for training, others were obviously inspired by them. ISIS def. wants to kill the US citizens and pretty much everyone else. They have been successful several times. So do we implement a travel ban or see what happens next?
  4. Well if we do implement a travel ban, why not to the countries that actually pose a threat? Like I said, the countries that have been banned havent produced an attacker since the 1970s.
  5. More Americans kill Americans than Muslim radical terrorists. SAN Bernadino was a US citizen (born and raised) and so was the Orlando shooter.
  6. Ps, republicans just repealed the policy that restricts gun sales to those deemed severely mentally ill. So there's that.

    San Bernadino went to an ISIS training camp and became radicalized 2 years prior. Orlando shooters father was an Afghani refugee who also held extreme islamic views

    The FBI knew about both, tracked them and didn't do anything. Even let them buy their guns. Yeehaw.

    What does this statement mean anyways? We should be fine with adding to the body count.?
  10. No. I'm just saying it's silly to discriminate an entire religion when in reality that particular religion isn't killing Americans domestically. People can do things in the name of Islam, but doesn't mean all of Islam stands for that. Just like how I'm a Christian, but don't share the views of white supremisists who kill in the name of Christianity. Hitler was a very "religious" man but I wouldn't consider him Christian
  11. Well the old administration didnt do a great job. Cant argue with that. "Yeehaw" thats disrespectful.
  12. Does an administration choose and directly work with the FBI and make calls, or does the FBI work alone? I'm genuinely curious, I'm not sure.
