"They should add all those dodgey eastern block countries, wait till his wife pops back home, and then deny her entry on return."

Naw, he'd have too much fun groping unsuspecting chicks in her absence.

What's that line about all citizens being equal ? Scary shit. Who's next ?
A homeland security spokesman said on Saturday night that green card holders – in effect, permanent residents – will also be covered by the ban, while a senior White House official indicated it was likely to be extended to other countries. A state department spokesman confirmed that travellers from the named countries who have dual nationality will not be able to enter the US for 90 days. Members of religious minorities from those countries will, however, be granted immigration priority.

NOT all us citizens with dual nationalty ONLY those from the specified countries

Yeah my point was that all US citizens are not equal, apparently.

happened in the UK, a British "Homeland Security" employee of Pakistani origian allowed his wife to visit her family in Karachi. When she was due to return to London she was denied boarding any aircraft. For seven years she did not know why, and did not get to see her two young children. Until a promotion for her husband came up, which required renewal of his own security clearance. It revealed that he had a new girlfriend and simply put his wife onto the watchlist without having to provide reeasons (all classified). The woman is finally back in the UK, the culprit has been fired, but the system has not changed a bit.

The rest of the world reacts - Merkel explains the Geneva Convention on Refugees to Trump:
A spokesman for Angela Merkel said the German chancellor regretted Trump’s decision to ban citizens of certain countries from entering the US, adding that she had “explained” the obligations of the Geneva refugee convention to the new president in a phone call on Saturday.

“The Geneva refugee convention requires the international community to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds. All signatory states are obligated to do. The German government explained this policy in their call yesterday.”
A majority of world leaders have condemned the US ban on humanitarian and legal grounds, Australia being the noted exception:
Australia’s foreign affairs minister, Julie Bishop, said the government would continue to work closely with the Trump administration to implement “strong border policies”. She said: “We share a common view on many issues so we will continue to work very closely with the Trump administration,” adding: “The very best days of the Australia-US relationship lie ahead.”

Meanwhile, in the United States, concerns are being raised that US immigration authorities are ignoring US court orders for a temporary halt to deportations.
A federal judge has granted a stay on deportations for people who arrived in the US with valid visas but were detained on entry, following President Donald Trump’s executive order to halt travel from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The stay, which applies nationwide, will last at least until a hearing scheduled for 21 February, the judge said, and includes people on valid visas of all kinds and green-card holders.
However, it would only impact those who were “on American soil” – ie those who had been mid-flight or had landed while the executive order was being signed by the president, Romero said.

“Rogue customs and Border Patrol agents continue to try to get people on to planes,” Becca Heller, director of the International Refugee Assistance Project, told reporters on Sunday morning at JFK airport in New York. “A lot of people have been handcuffed, a lot of people who don’t speak English are being coerced into taking involuntary departures.”

The only problem with this scenario is that the Vice president, a hand picked clone of and by POTUS will be next in line. I don't know if he will be out in 6 months but I doubt he'll last the term
Not since the war in Vietnam has any President politically divided the country in such a drastic fashion

More of the same about this amateur hour performance.

Well, never mind the law, shoot the messanger. :popcorn:

Trump fires Sally Yates after acting attorney general contradicted travel ban
Donald Trump has fired the acting US attorney general after she told justice department lawyers not to defend his executive order banning entry for people from seven Muslim-majority countries.

The White House said on Monday that Sally Yates had “betrayed” the department by refusing to enforce a legal order that was “designed to protect the citizens of the United States.

Trump drafted in Dana Boente, US attorney for the eastern district of Virginia, to replace Yates as acting attorney general. The president’s official appointee, anti-immigration hardliner Senator Jeff Sessions, is yet to be confirmed by the Senate.

As the country’s top law enforcement official, Yates, who was appointed by Barack Obama, had control over the justice department’s immigration litigation office, which has handled the federal complaints filed against Trump’s order since his bombshell policy was announced on Friday.

“I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution’s solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right,” Yates wrote in a letter to justice department lawyers. “At present I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful.”
