Trump's immigration ban sends shockwaves
By Jeremy Diamond, CNN

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's seismic move to ban more than 130 million people from the United States and to deny entry to all refugees reverberated worldwide Saturday, as chaos and confusion rippled through US law enforcement agencies, airports and foreign capitals trying to grasp the US's new policy.
At John F. Kennedy International Airport, where passengers can often spot the Statue of Liberty on their descent into New York, two Iraqis who had been granted visas to enter the US were detained and prevented from exiting the airport. Customs and Border Protection officials cited Trump's new executive order, which bans citizens of Iraq and six other Muslim-majority countries -- a total of at least 134 million people -- from entering the US for the next 90 days. It also suspends the admission of all refugees for 120 days.

One of the problems is "the stuff" is being pushed out by such unbiased media outlets as CNN, FOX, Washington Post, The Grauniad, BBC and New York Times. It means wading through reams of text to find the full story when the "intelligentsia" are arguing on the basis of the headline and photo............................jeez but am I glad I am not clever? @)(++(*

It may happen as Trump, by his own actions is shown to be totally off his rocker, will make some of his supporters wake up to reality.

So building an enhanced barrier to keep Mexican illegals out of the USA and prevent criminals slipping across the border is a bad thing? Similarly, is stopping unchecked immigration from seven countries known to be the spawning grounds of Muslim terrorists such a bad thing?
