Don't believe everything you hear on the news........This is not a Muslim ban.....The VAST majority of Muslims can enter the US.

It is a ban on muslims. Trump even said as he was signing it "we all know what that means". This ban is extremely discriminatory.

Actually, it isn't a ban.  It's a 90 day halt for citizens of SEVEN countries......Muslims from any other country are free to enter the US.....There is a lot of misinformation out there right now.

"Halt" "block" "bar" "ban" "suspended" they all essentially mean the same thing. They won't be allowed in for at least 90 days for now.

I sincerely hope this can be resolved much sooner than 90 days. We ALL need to be with our loved ones as soon as possible.

Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting

Donald Trump....

“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.

We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refuge...es from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.

This is not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.

I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”
