So... the president may set a lower limit. What's your point?

Sun Tzu doesn't agree. Not a lawyer but I wouldn't be surprised if Trump and his advisors are hoping this is fought in court.

I think we've all been to America, and we are talking about how refugees "mesh" in America.

Indonesia? Try Somalia or Yemen. Indonesia lmfao! 1 month! Lmfao!! Good for you you world warrior!

We definitely shouldn't do anything Trump wants us to do. Great logic from The Master, as always.

Well done.

Most don't. Too much a cultural difference. Just the way it is...

This is paranoid racist drivel.

As always, there are no moderate Muslims because none that don't conform to your stereotypes count.

Need a passport for Canada now. Been that way for a few years now.

And Trump essentially destroyed his own narrative by waiting to reinstate the ban so that the press had a while to bask in his Joint Session glory a bit longer.

I love this quote by Letterman.

Who the **** are you to throw a log in the road of somebody who has a different set of difficulties in life?

My point is that you are lying about the legal obligations of the United States.

But I've been to America. Have you? Obviously not, since you're so wrong about it.

Clearly we need to change the way committee chairs are selected. It's an absolute trainwreck when the chairs of Oversight, Judiciary, Intelligence, etc are too partisan. We need to either up the standard for confirmation to 2/3 or to require 1/3 of the opposing party or something. I can live with the bogus Benghazi type stuff if they AT LEAST investigate their own party when it's blatantly obvious it's necessary.

Just to be clear here, you understand that some of them will die, be maimed, etc while they're waiting. That doesn't bother you as a human being one iota?

If I was brown and Muslim, whether I had a green card or citizenship or whatever, there's no way in hell I'd voluntarily leave the states right now. It's easy to say they can come back just fine now, but that could obviously change any minute... All it takes is Trump going hardcore or a CBP agent deciding to go for it.

Allowing them in doesn't give them the right to come over and kill us. We do have pretty thorough vetting already - we should focus on improving that in an efficient way if people are worried, not doing extreme stuff that actually makes us less safe. I do agree that it's not a hill we want to stand on politically. We need to win other battles to regain power and then implement the right strategy. Win on jobs and the economy, execute on everything of course.

I would argue it's pretty far off from Obama's. Winning this battle is getting the EO to be as narrow as possible through the courts and public pressure.

I didn't say that. I think it's funny how this individual makes his opinion based on a 1 month backbacking tour through no doubt a tourist friendly area of Indonesia. Indonesia?! Lol!

Where have you gone Wookie? Ever been to an Islamic country? Seen some chop square?

Hi truefish,

I spent 6 weeks living in the heart of Yemen and traveled all over the country. The people there were incredible and loving and encapsulated "Western values" better than you could ever hope to.

What bothers me more is the sight of VA hospitals.

Hi truefish,

I was living in Palestine when we got Osama bin Laden. I remember talking to a college-aged Muslim man in a restaurant who was so happy that he almost cried. All he wanted was for people around the world to know how much Muslims detested bin Laden and just wanted peace.

That was when he as being floated for Surgeon General.

For some reason he didn't think being a neurosurgeon prepared him in any way to be Surgeon General but somehow prepared him for HUD.

Can we ban this guy now ffs? Clearly he has no interest in actually talking to anyone and is a pure troll.

Hi trufish,

I have not yet had the good fortune to visit a Muslim majority nation yet, but I would like to someday. My wife was born in Saudi Arabia, however.

Shaking my head at Ben Carson

I don't think anyone thinks they're going to break through truefish's wall of ignorance, there's just an urge to push back against obviously wrong facts lest they go through unchallenged.

Now, now. The concerned citizen just wants to find out who has spent time in Syria, Saudi Arabia, or Somalia, spent time with Islamists while in one of those three countries, was there for a time period of somewhere between 43 days to 2 years (adjusted as needed to disqualify whatever personal anecdotes were provided), and was not there on 'holiday.'
