EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE: Trump to Sign Several Decrees Restricting Immigration From Middle East Countries

In an effort to avoid becoming Sweden, President Trump is expected to sign several executive orders, sometime this week, which will restrict immigration into the U.S. from nations rich and replete with jihadis wholly interested in committing heinous acts of terror and/or impose theocratic rule over an otherwise very liberal and free thinking America.

According to Reuters, the nations on Trump’s blacklist includes Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Noticeably missing from this list is the number one state sponsor of terrorism, Saudi Arabia.

According to the MPI, the immigrant population from MENA in America has nearly doubled since 2000.

Here is the geographic distribution of MENA migrants throughout America.

      This could be another Trump trap for the media.

        He does like to keep them busy with the petty bs, while he does real work in the background. 7D chess.

      Quite possible Pakistan has a good handle on who is in their country and helps us out with good data on immigration.
      Those other countries are a mess and have no clue who is who.

      If we’re going to keep the crazy headchoppers out of the US, better throw Germany on the list too.

    Easy on the Canadians. Buy our oil instead of the middle east bullshit and we can lock North America down. Also help us get rid of the fashion show Barbie who is running our economy into the toilet.

      You are right – I humbly apologize. I meant Mexico. I am dyslexic.

      Canada? Can’t swing dead cat in Canada without hitting a Canadian. Limp wrists that wouldn’t exist except for the power and beneficence of these United Steaks. Bow to god emporer Trump and be thankful for your continued existence!

    If he’s going to continue the BushBama wars and go even further by appointing a nutjob racist as ambassador to Israel and moving our embassy to Jerusalem, then he should ban all Muslims and keep an eye on the ones already here. You know …just in case they don’t enjoy their own being blown up.

      The Middle East has been dysfunctional for 2,000 years. There is no hope. If we’re going to pick sides, the Jews are better than the Arabs any day of the week. Move the embassy to Jerusalem.

        “…dysfunctional for 2,000 years.”

        Yeah, we’ve been programmed to groupthink that. But like us, they’ve had warring times, and times where they’ve advanced civilization and civility.

        One should wonder what they’d have become were it not for western wars in their lands, European powers’ territorial divisions of their lands that were inherently unsustainable, and American assassinations and coups. My guess is that Muslims of the radical wingnut variety would be much more rare.

    The President has once again done a great service to these United Steaks. Now ‘We The People’ will finger ring them. The eating of hamburgers fries and not loving trashbag wearing will become normal to them in about ten seconds. Go get a wife now boys before they are all gone.

    NJ / NY no longer seem safe for you. You should move to Alabama. Few immigrants there. Seems a good fit for the new you. Roll Tide.
