Trump does not ban travel from residents of Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. In addition, the K-1 fiancee program remains in place.
New York and New Jersey explosions
Neither Afghanistan nor Pakistan is on Trump's list of banned countries.
Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting
Neither Afghanistan nor the West Bank is included on the list of banned countries.
Boston Marathon bombings
Chechnya and Kyrgyzstan are not included on the list of banned countries.
World Trade Center, September 11, 2001
Of the 19 people who hijacked four planes on September 11, 2001, 15 of them hailed from Saudi Arabia. Two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Egypt, and one was from Lebanon. None of those countries is included on the list of banned countries.
He chose countries based on what was decided in the Obama administration.
Anthony Garcia
But why??? Why are the really dangerous countries not included?
Brayden Walker
Because we have interests in some of those countries
Jason Rogers
Because Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and others are considered allies. Also, out of the ones he chose, only Iran has a functioning government.
Jaxon Stewart
Trump choose the countries based on who he has business with.
Anthony Nguyen
>Because Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and others are considered allies Yeah and they're also the main source of terrorism, which means Trump is allied to terrorists, which means he is a terrorist.
They're banned by threat level you dumbass turkroach.
The threat levels which were assigned by the Obama admin.
Benjamin Butler
it's a vetting ban not a terrorist country ban... you fucking ignoramus
Isaiah Carter
>banned by threat level So Saudi Arabia, the country that 9/11 was plotted out of, isn't a threat? kys
Angel Bailey
Why would Trump use Obama's assessment? That is insane!
Jace Carter
We're still currently trying to keep Afghanistan stabilized. They'd pretty much lose years and years of progress towards actively trying to win over the hearts and minds of Afghanistan if they put them on the ban list. Pakistan is lumped in because it's basically just an extension Afghanistan.
Elijah Russell
That makes no sense - Iraq is on the list.
Anthony Smith
>saudi arabia is a geopolitical ally already > Egyptian government wants to be secular and is cracking down on Muslims after they temporarily took over and Obama condemned the government for doing so
Jonathan Torres
Ask Obama, you failure.
His administration designated these as countries of concern.
Christian Mitchell
Iraq has been overrun by ISIS.
Ayden Reyes
> saudis are responsible for terrorist activity 15 years ago
And the countries on the list are terrorist hotspots NOW
Besides, you do realize that if you keep spamming this narrative about "why aren't ALL muslims banned", Trump might just go ahead and ban them?
I loathe Pakistan more than any other country, but yeah, the US considers them an ally.
Jackson Butler
This has more to do with Intelligence agencies and the sharing of Intelligence than geopolitics or borders. Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Syria etc. have nothing to offer, so fuck 'em.
Levi King
>Besides, you do realize that if you keep spamming this narrative about "why aren't ALL muslims banned", Trump might just go ahead and ban them? That is the point, why is he not banning all of them???
Xavier Garcia
>hehehe is just bait xDDDD >for da lulz xddd
Pathetic.
Jordan Reed
They don't though
Luke Diaz
Trump only gets to do shit Obama said. Okay.
Evan Jones
to give the illusion that he's open to the idea of not banning all of them
>we need stronger vetting >shit still happens >alright well then pool's closed
Luis Wright
That makes no sense.
Either this is all about security and preventing attacks, or it is some kind of publicity stunt. What is it?
The extreme vetting needs to apply to everyone, so the temporary ban should be applied to every country of concern... countries such as Germany and the UK are also a concern, but you could make a judgment call based on whether the person in question is white and Christian, I guess.
Matthew Taylor
Basically they have nuclear weapons, so we can't push them around like most of the rest of the countries in the ME.
I'm sure if they weren't nuclear, US would have "liberated" them decades ago.
Jack Gutierrez
This.
Matthew Brown
>Why is Trump not banning all the right countries???
He's banning the ones that he is going to actively engage ISIS in...
Iran will be saved for last, and is a warning to the rest of them to bend thy knee...
no silly, it means all americans are terrorists because WE are one nation
Benjamin Ramirez
He banned only the countries Obama banned. See that's what has you pissy, you can't criticize Trump's picks because they're Obama's legacy.
LOL you Shareblue / CTR kikes are so predictable.
Noah Hill
>He's banning the ones that he is going to actively engage ISIS in... How does this make any sense? ISIS is just one Islamic group, there are thousands of others just as radical as them.
Noah Bailey
But that makes no sense. Obama is a Muslim. He would never ban the real threat. Why does Trump follow what B. Hussein Obama did?
Dominic Cook
They're both puppets you idiot
Adrian Cook
look at the list of countries he's banned the majority of them are countries from which large volumes of refugees come he may be saying terrorism but he's actually trying to head off the refugee crisis before it comes here
Henry Butler
Saudi Arabia, like Israel, is untouchable.
Dylan Edwards
Those countries are all US 'allies' or have US military bases/important assets in them.
Pakistan is still a pseudo-ally. Afghanistan is still sort of a mess we're curating. Saudi just got sold 10 billion in arms by Obama and has US bases. UAE, US bases. Egypt, Suez canal, longish history of cooperating with US on middle east affairs. Turkey, NATO member, US bases.
The US does not have any significant presence in the banned countries.
Cameron Thomas
Poltards are riding Obama's dick hard and defending his weakness.
Trump = Obama 2.0
Austin Wilson
Yeah and why didn't he add some more? Kek, nice excuse mate.
Kayden Ramirez
it's this. no ficki ficki in Trump's America
Colton Cruz
We're allied with them. Not trump as ana individual. You calling us all terrorists m8?
That kind of bigotry could lead to the radicalization of Americans in your country. Prepare for mobility scooter suicide bombings
William Sanchez
>>How does this make any sense?
ISIS is just the most commonly accepted name for the "Bad" Guys at this time...
If it was 2001, it would have been Al Qaeda, in the 80's it was the Russians, and so on...
I don't believe in ISIS BTW, nothing more then psyops created propaganda by the Obama Administration to push the Globalist agenda...
saudi al arrabiata because of oil, everything else I dont know
Jonathan Morales
This
Also legally it was an easier option as it was done before
Cooper Ross
>it's this. no ficki ficki in Trump's America
Afghanistan is the largest origin country of refugees next to Syria and it is not on the list. Neither is Eritrea which is I think number 4 of the refugees countries etc.
Asher Long
Saudi arabia ally?
More a like customer.
Jaxon Ward
cechnya is not a country you ficking turkroach
Robert Young
What if he is blocking countries where the CIA is well established and operate mind controlled terrorism from on the US?
Andrew Ward
keeping on good terms witn pakistan is a good idea so we dont bait them into nuking india and starting ww3 (yes, an india-pakistan conflict will be how ww3 starts)
good to stay on good terms with saudis because they can take refugees which is good for us.
Elijah Cook
The point was to piss off liberals. That's the point of everything trump does. It's not a mean to an end. It IS the point. Trump needs an enemy to justify ever increasing power grabs. All dictators do.
Aaron Flores
Trump didn't ban Russians, that means he works for Russia!
Jordan Parker
Saudi Arabia Ally?
More like a customer than an ally.
Bentley Hughes
Anyone thinks Trump wants to be dictator shouldnt vote in the election. Are you fucking retarded. Even if Trump implies such thing Congress would impeach him.
USA isnt a random country. Read your fucking constitution. People are loyal to your constitiuton not persons in tour country.
Jayden Wright
The fact that Pakistan is not on the ban list supposedly guided by current threat perception to US security should say it all.
In the rational pursuit of security objectives, you don’t marginalize your expert security agencies and fail to vet your ideas through a normal interagency process. You don’t target the wrong people in nutty ways when you’re rationally pursuing real security objectives.
When do you do these things? You do these things when you’re elevating the symbolic politics of bashing Islam over any actual security interest. You do them when you’ve made a deliberate decision to burden human lives to make a public point. In other words, this is not a document that will cause hardship and misery because of regrettable incidental impacts on people injured in the pursuit of a public good. It will cause hardship and misery for tens or hundreds of thousands of people because that is precisely what it is intended to do.
To be sure, the executive order does not say anything as crass as: “Sec. 14. Burdening Muslim Lives to Make Political Point.” It doesn’t need to. There’s simply no reason in reading it to ignore everything Trump said during the campaign, during which he repeatedly called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States.
Even while he was preparing to sign the order itself, he declared, "This is the ‘Protection of the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.’ We all know what that means." Indeed, we do. This document is the implementation of a campaign promise to keep out Muslims moderated only by the fact that certain allied Muslim countries are left out because the diplomatic repercussions of including them would be too detrimental.
Jackson Watson
Think of it in law terms, there needs to be a precedent or an obvious reason as why a precedent can be set.
So Trump applies the ban based off of the precedent set by the previous government, they've already outlined the countries which can be "banned".
Now if a terrorist attack happens from a country outside that list, it gives Trump more of a justification for a sweeping ban -- opposed to if he had done it right off the bat, which may have been unsuccessful due to lack of precedent.
This means that either way he has fulfilled one of his campaign promises, a pause on muslim immigration until the vetting process can be scrutinised and potentially improved. Since it is likely he will re-run in 2020 (already registered himself as a nominee), he's already solidifying his platform as the president that keeps his promises to the public.
Julian Hill
banning Iran even tho most of its people there integrate easily with the west and dont give two shits about islam
kek america kek
Sebastian Peterson
Why Iran? They don't have terrorists but just a mean government. They are Lawful Evil
Justin Gonzalez
Wrong, all citizens from the area should be banned. IRan, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, you name it.
Mason Reed
Nobody cares.
Any Muslim country banned is a good thing. Are you implying we should ban the rest of them too?
Joshua Bennett
Dunno. The banned countries has high risk terror according to intelligence.
Camden Gutierrez
He is keeping shitskins from coming and allowing shitskins to come that will fall into his trap.
Another serious Muslim attack and Trump can go full Deus Vult in the ragheads and send in mounted cavalry police to crush all protests while issuing a nation wide press blackout because terror attack and war.
Asher Cook
whatever Turkey
Ayden Sanchez
kek is pleased with this comment
Carson Jones
>whatever Turkey Turkey should be on the ban list too, Muhammed.
Brody Russell
>Are you implying we should ban the rest of them too? Yes, what did you think? All the ones on this graphic should be banned.
Jonathan Fisher
P.S.
vouches for this
Isaac Williams
He's jewish. Im very sad you just now are figuring this out.
Thomas Hernandez
>i will defend anything this fat fat man does okay 2 million Syrians can stay at your house then
Anthony Morales
You've been betrayed. The Alt Right never cared about helping you only the koch brothers.
James Reyes
Germany should be on the list realistically.
Aaron Nguyen
He's banning the unstable shitholes with Isis cells. And Iran because fuck Iran.
