To protect the country is the number one obligation of the President. Trump is doing exactly what a responsible President should do concerning the state of the world and the attacks we have had in the past from Muslim terrorists. What a short memory liberalism has in America.

@dennis,
At least people have given up on pretending it's not a Muslim ban. The fact of the matter is that right-wing terrorists mistaking Sikhs for Muslims have killed more people in America than have people from the countries affected by the Muslim ban. This does nothing to keep us safe.

Today's Lesson:
FACT: Majority Muslim Countries Under the TEMPORARY travel ban:
Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen
FACT: Majority Muslim Countries NOT under the travel ban:
Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bosnia-Herzegovenia, Brunei, Burkinafaso, Chad, Comoos, Dibouti, Egypt, Gambia, Guinea, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mayotte, Morocco, Niger, Oman, Pakistan, Palestinian territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tunesia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Western Sahara
FACT: Other Million+ Muslim Countries
India, China, France, UK....on and on
This is not a Muslim Ban. This is a ban against potential terrorist countries. It is no different than that which President Obama's administration identified. Stop with the hysteria.

@Hysteria,
Why did Trump campaign on banning all Muslims from entering the country? If it's focused on terrorism, why is it a set of countries where we've had zero deaths on American soil by people from these countries?
I'll be waiting for your answers before the next class. Hopefully, you don't get an F again...

How many deaths on American soil before you think we should start vetting?
Obama's administration identified these as countries who do not properly or safely vet those leaving the country. Obama. Not Trump. Obama. So why is it now this huge issue for you @Nice? Explain to me how this is some kind of "Muslim Ban" as you so want to insist, if so why is it only 6 out of over 50 Muslim majority countries?

I hope Donald Trump will lift the ban under pressure comming from the various states. My brother has lost the job opportunity because of it. He lives in Ireland and was about to move to USA to work... Thanks, Trump!

It’s amazing to me when people imagine the boogey man, Muslim Terrorists everywhere, from hijacking self-driving cars to lurking in parking lots, to spying in microwave ovens. Yet they fail to address REAL statistics in our country.
100,000 deaths per year due to infections at hospitals-
4,000 women die per year due to domestic violence
33,000 die per year in car accidents
Toddlers with guns kill themselves and others more that terrorists
33,000 deaths due to gun violence
50,000 deaths due to opioid overdoses
AND why are we NOT talking about the mentally ill citizens in our country who take a gun and randomly kill people. They are by far white and male!
Real story: PRESIDIO, Texas -- Two hunters accused in a shooting on a remote ... near Mexican border blamed immigrants, but really shot each other.
