Immigration Ban

[spqrzilla]

Seen something from the left about how Trump is only placing travel restrictions in countries where he has no business interests, as in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar are off the list.

Velocitas, Opprimere,
Violentia Operandi

Its a slander. The list of countries is based on a Congressional legislation from 2015, supplemented with countries chosen by Obama's Dept of Homeland Security.

It just occurred to me how brilliant this whole thing was. Trump's moratorium was based on a list generated by the Obama administration and is really not any different from what Obama did 6 years ago so again his opponents get all spun up and end up looking like idiots. But here's the really genius part of it: He's let the fervor against the immigration moratorium build up all weekend so that's all the liberals can think about right now ... and he's releasing his SCOTUS pick this week, possibly today.

Either the Left completely ignores the SCOTUS pick because they're spun up already about the immigration protests OR they fracture and neither protest is able to build a significant head of steam. Timing is everything and this looks positively Machiavellian (but for good reasons).

Here's a liberal friendly source to support that claim:

Um... Jeez I don't know... Maybe cause Somalia doesn't have a real functioning government???

The media is so corrupt.......

Yeah, true... but KSA also supports terrorism via the Wahabi sect so there's that...

And the whole part of they might stop selling us their oil (for now) relativley cheap.

This all just seems like it's a political ploy to satiate the base. I'm no fan of any organized religion, but broad stroking a whole group of people like muslims would be like generalizing that all white people are complicit in racism because we don't go out and do something about it. Shouldn't those of us that are military age go out a crush groups like the KKK, Aryan Brotherhood and Neo-Nazis to help protect other American citizens?

Hopefully it is just a moratorium so we can figure out a vetting process for immigrants and setup a procedure on how to determine who and how many to let in. It just seems both sides are creating hysteria which only benefits the news networks who can spin the story to suit their needs and get their audience in an uproar to gain ratings and charge more for advertising.

When muslim terrorists do terrorist things, they're simply obeying the dictates and example of Mohammed. The non-terries are actually bad muslims if they are against such actions or do not provide some other means of support. ISIS and other groups have plainly stated they intend to infiltrate the EU and other places with "refugees". These 7 countries as being banned doesn't go far enough.

Starbucks has weighed in on Trump's "Muslim Ban".
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKBN15E05X

Looks like in response they're going to hire 10,000 refugees.

So that means 3 things:
1) The percentage of Starbucks employees making your food and drinks that wipe their ass with their bare hand will go up.
2) Thousands of Americans with Gender Studies or Art History degrees will remain unemployed.
3) More female Starbucks employees will be raped.

The left, which includes the MSM, wouldn't let facts get in their way.

...or history.

(D) are incessant liars.

1. From the article, it sounds like Starbucks is doing that hiring outside the US over the next 5 years so you don't have to worry about them when you get your overpriced fancy coffee at a CONUS Starbucks.
2. I wouldn't hire anyone stupid enough to select a college major like "Gender Studies" no matter what was happening on the immigration front. A high school student who wasn't dumb enough to take out $100,000+ in loans to study complete BS would be a better employee.
3. Not if we push a Go Fund Me project to offer female Starbucks employees training and self-defense firearms ... then get SAF to sue Starbucks to allow those women to carry at work for their own protection ...
