House Democrat: 'American terrorists' are the real threat (He means you and me)
The Washington Examiner ^ | January 30, 2017 | Pete Kasperowicz

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Monday that President Trump was wrong to issue an executive order temporarily banning immigrants from Muslim-majority countries because American citizens are the real terrorism threat in the U.S.

"The real threat here so far is home-grown, American terrorists, and not people from these seven countries," Nadler said on CNN.

Trump on Friday issued an order suspending immigration from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. The 90-day ban is meant to give federal agencies time to review the information they need to verify the identity of immigrants seeking to enter the United States.

It also shut down the refugee program for four months, and indefinitely suspended acceptance of Syrian refugees.

Democrats and even some Republicans have said the order goes too far, but Trump's team has said the temporary ban is needed in the face of terrorism threats that some immigrants could pose to U.S. citizens.

A federal court has already stopped one part of Trump's plan that calls for the deportation of some immigrants. Nadler predicted Trump's entire order would fall in the courts.

"I think the courts will stop it," he said.

Most lawyers who've written about it say the courts will ultimately affirm it as within the president's powers.

Even if he’s referring to the Boston Marathon bombers let me just point out that they would not have been born in this country but for the fact that their parents immigrated here.

All I can say is I’m thanking G-d for Donald Trump in the White House.

And asking Him to protect DJT and his family.

Do Nadler and Schumer, both Jews, know that 16 Muslim and Arab countries ban Israelis and people with Israeli stamped on their passports? Would they care?

Nadler’s just afraid he’s going to lose his favorite syrian restaurant chef. Then where’s he gonna get fat?

Oh, please start that! 76%+ against maybe 12%, with the 76% being better armed, having many more veterans and LEO and etc... History’s shortest civil war.

You wish.

I was 15 and in college when the president banned Iranians from coming to America. That president was Jimmy Carter...

So if Nadler believes that “home-grown, American terrorists” are the real threat, then does that mean he supports surveiling mosques, or tracking potential terrorists? Somehow, I think not. Libs never think through their ridiculous statements.

Sounds to me like he’s talking about Muslims already here, though he’s wouldn’t probably say the word Muslim in that context. There’s nothing that indicates he’s talking “you and me”.
