Corcaigh Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Tom Namako ✔ @TomNamako Judge asked if people would suffer irreparable harm if sent back to dangerous places. Govt essentially didn't have an answer "Govt essentially said ... 'we don't care what happens to them.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatBuzz Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Think about this. It is possible that a person that is active duty military could be denied entry to the very country they are fighting for at this moment. Let that sink in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iraqis who have put themselves and their families in enormous peril over the past decade have been rejected today. Malcolm Nance @MalcolmNance 9h9 hours ago More TWO MORE!

mikered30 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I don't recall an excessive amount of outrage for a "Muslim ban" 5 years ago against Obama when he banned Iraqi refugees for 6 months, even for interpreters that helped the US. The countries that Trump selected are based on a 2016 law concerning immigration visas as "countries of concern." according to CNN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I should just go ahead and change my party affiliation. It's been a big deal to me to be a true independent and I have been one since my first presidential vote for tricky dick. This time, I was a big boy and put aside my strong dislike of Hillary to keep Trump out because I knew any other move led to this (being intelligent and all) and no other "principle" short of putting hc over djt made sense in the end no matter how grudging the admission. I knew any choice that was not a vote for hillary would elect trump. Duh. So I really re-engaged with the regional political scene. I will continue in that fashion and from now on work hard for the D party/candidates only. Thought I'd make it to my grave as an indie. Oh well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Have to say, I'm rather surprised at the quiet from Team Trump, on this. Dont know if they're actually thinking before acting, or if they can't find a volunteer to go take one for the team (other than the obviously fearless Conway), or if they've all taken the weekend off.

It wasn't a ban. They did vastly slow down the rate by a lot. 2. It was done in an organized way that didn't cause people to get to the US and be stuck in airports or be sent back. 3. There was no stated special exception for Christians. 4. There was a specific triggering event, and it was related to that specific country (Iraq) 5. It didn't apply to people holding green cards (or as near as I can tell people that were dual citizens, (i.e. people that were British and Iraqi citizens were not barred from coming into the US from Britian.)) http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/13/world/middleeast/13baghdad.html If what Obama did is an apple, this isn't even a fruit.

If Malcolm Nance himself calls them "my Iraqi Special ops interpreters", that's more than good enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
