WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday that bans Syrians from taking refuge in the United States, halts the U.S. refugee resettlement program for four months and temporarily blocks people from a handful of unnamed countries from entering the U.S. at all.
“I am establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. We don’t want them here,” he said at a swearing-in ceremony at the Pentagon for Secretary of Defense James Mattis. “We don’t want to admit into our country the very threats we are fighting overseas.”
Trump approved the refugee ban amid the biggest refugee crisis in history and on Holocaust Remembrance Day, which honors the millions of people killed during World War II, many of whom tried to flee to the U.S. but were turned away.
It’s not the blanket ban on Muslims that Trump advocated for during his campaign, and it does not single out any country by name other than Syria for its refugees.
But Trump did say earlier in the day that he would prioritize helping Syrian Christians. He also mentioned “radical Islamic terrorists” while signing it. And in the text, it carves out an exception for admitting refugees who are religious minorities even while nearly all others will be barred for 120 days.
Here’s what the order will do, with immediate effect:
Block refugee admissions from the war-torn country of Syria indefinitely.

The famous photo of the shitskin drowned was altered. The body was moved so the propaganda would be more effective.
Interesting insight into the subhuman left. Even a child's body is just a means to an end for them.

Yes, closing doors saves lives. Our lives...
And beside that - the boy on image, moved to the beach from beside rocks for an artistic photo, died, because his father, already well in safety, wanted to move his family to Europe FOR medical BENEFITS of repairing his (father's) teeth...
Stopping "BENEFITWARD FLOW" of refugees can also safe many lives...

That kid is still alive. Probably chilling in Tel Aviv.

Fun fact: His father only wanted to go to Europe because he wanted some cosmetic dental work done (for free of course). His sister (dead kids aunt) says so in an interview with canadian media

closing the doors will save their lives as well. Less people will be inclined to try to seek aid and shelter in another country. They won't make the dangerous trip across the Mediterranean sea (this doesn't really apply to refugees going to the US)

>stuffing the picture of a child who is dead because his parents wanted their teeth fixed for free in Germany so they tried to cross the fucking ocean on a smuggler boat , for cheap emotional I pact on impressionable minds in order to propagate the invasion of a endless Islamic horde of men in their peak reproductive ages ,
