You said banning people from Muslim majority countries is infringing on freedom of religion (because most of them happen to be Muslims) so I'm asking if you would also consider it an infringement on freedom of religion if he banned people coming from Italy as they are majority Catholic.

There's certainly a strong xenophobic element to the fear of islamic terrorism in the US.
Especially since to me the threat of right-wing christian terrorism seems far bigger.
Still I can't find too much fault in a president not wanting risky immigration from unstable regions.

Hey guys remember when Obama did a ban on the same countries plus more for a longer period of time and no one gave a ****? Good times!

There should have been protests then as well. It still doesn't make it right. It was wrong then and it's wrong now. Every time one of these articles pops up it just screams "well HE DID IT SO NOW I CAN" to me. This country needs to grow the **** up and start doing the right thing no matter who it benefits or who it hurts financially and stop caring about who did it first or who did it better.

Not surprised he did this. It was one of his campaign promises and it's only for 90 days. This was based off a bill Obama had. This could be a lot worse and people are literally crapping there pants. Nothing really wrong here. There's not even a ban on Muslims.

Keeping these people detained in Airports after they already went through the process of getting their visas is wrong. And again, I don't give a sh*t what Obama did or not not do. He isn't the president anymore. Trump is and he's just continuing this ongoing smear campaign against Muslims and the countries they come from. His campaign basically opened the flood gates for rampant racism and religious discrimination and his actions over the last week have only fueled them more.

Yeah we should throw open the borders. Nothing went wrong when Germany and France had that policy. Funny how they're "uniting" against Trump. Man my sides were literally aching after hearing that. No one is targeting religion (even though that is a problem to some extent). And no one is talking about race.
There has been pretty of division you are right. That comes from the fact that the mainstream media was telling everyone in the states that he wasn't going to win through false polls. People are shocked and upset right now and destroying there own towns for no reason. These protests are a joke and will accomplish nothing. People need to wake up and accept reality.

I never said anything about opening the borders. A vetting process is fine because the reality IS that these countries have sh*t going on in them that is serious business but a flat out denial of entry no matter who you are, even for three months, is just wrong to me. Maybe I'm just mad that Asghar Farhadi can't come pick up his inevitable Oscar.
