It appears he’s just trying to play hardball with DJT
Oh yeah, the guy with the gigantic narco-economy operating within his borders is all about protecting mexican citizens.
Hahahahaaa! oh thats a good one.
Well, he probably does stand a better chance of protecting them here than he does there.
He should have first asked 16 republicans, the DNC, the powerful Clinton machine and the mainstream liberal media how that worked out for them.
Did you guys expect this?
I didn’t.
I find it rather worrisome.

More executive orders
A five year ban on lobbying for all White House officials. An order banning administration officials from ever lobbying the U.S. on behalf of a foreign government and imposing a separate five-year ban on other lobbying.
An order to begin restructuring the White House National Security Council. Aides said the changes would help the council better adapt to cyber, digital, terrorist and other modern-day threats.
A request for the Department of Defense, via the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to deliver a preliminary strategy to defeat ISIS within 30 days to the President.
I have a feeling this will end up being untrue, but we’ll see. Hopefully it’s not 
Why do you hope that permanent residents are part of the temporary ban?
Because it’s mostly muslims who will be effected.
In my opinion one of the worst ideas in modern history is immigration of muslims into non-muslim countries.
I hope a hypothetical question for you-
Do you believe that U.S. citizens who have immigrated from, say, Iran, should be included in the temporary ban as well?
Nope.
Why the difference between citizens and permanent residents?
It would delegitimize the concept of citizenship if the government could strip people of their citizenship (except for extreme cases). A permanent residence on the other hand is a trial run of sorts to see if you are a good candidate to be a citizen.
If I leave the US for more than I think 18 months It will mean that I have technically abandoned my permanent resident status and I will lose my green card. If an American citizen does the same he or she suffers no recourse.
Is this wrong to you as well?
We can only hope.

If you thought 2016 was bad for you, I’ve got bad news for you: your worldview will continue to crater in 2017.
That’s silly, 2016 was great to me, and my worldview hasn’t been affected by anything that has happened recently.
This is the article you linked. The strange thing is that the author makes a statement, then provides a quote taken from an e-mail without providing the question which was asked to illicit that response.
That isn’t a story or news. Its shitty journalism.
Do you have anything else that substantiates the position stated in the article?
“The Department of Homeland Security said that the order also barred green card holders from those countries from re-entering the United States. In a briefing for reporters, White House officials said that green card holders from the seven affected countries who are outside the United States would need a case-by-case waiver to return.”
“President Trump’s executive order banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. also applies to green card holders from those countries, the Department of Homeland Security said Saturday.”
So they can return.
This just effects those currently landed in the US or mid flight right?
The ban will still take place if I understand correctly?
