“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 refugees 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.”

You can bet the Commie media will NOT be reading that statement because it mentions Barack Obama implementing the SAME BAN in 2011..except the Commie media didn’t report on it then..and even if they did these same loons protesting now would have said it makes perfect sense
It is so much more powerful when he speaks directly to the American people, bypassing the Washington media.
They are foaming at the mouth angry. Likely more so now. Because now they must also confront the fact this is merely an extension of existing Obama policy.
Throws it back in their Faces by reminding them of exactly what their Hero Obama did.
The White House Briefing tomorrow will be a hoot.
Well stated. And not a d*mn thing wrong with it, in a sane world. But we are dealing with the liberal walking dead, so the insanity will continue.
I love my President!
GO DONALD, GO!!!
Me too!!
Can’t wait!
YES!

Take that Schumer, Clinton, et al
He’s not getting the message out very well. I think they should probably not have stopped people already in the air, but should have announced that it would begin in a day or two, or that people already processed would be allowed in on a probationary basis.
The implementation wasn’t well thought out, although I would suspect that most people in the US actually support the ban or at any rate the delay on importing any more people from these countries that have a proven track record in terrorism.
There is nothing wrong with Trump’s messaging on this or the implementation.
So glad he set the record straight. I was getting tired of doing it all day!
Finally following actual Immigration regulations, and ensuring American safety, is now “extreme”. The Left is unhinged.
Aclu said that a Croatian woman at lax has been forced to give up her visitors visa and is being sent back to paris
Liberals are like a cult. They sit ion their houses, and then react tot he lies of the media . All over social media this weekend they have acted up like babies with their fake outrage.
He is trying to stop terrorists from getting here and the left are not happy. Why? Do they want more terrorists, is that it?
I have asked that question many times over the weekend and not once did I get an answer, instead I;m racist, idiot, stupid KKK, Nazi. So predictable
Please tell me this isn’t a cave, folks. I need reassurance, because this “90 day” nonsense sounds like a cave.
Are we suddenly going to know who is a terrorist in 90 days? No.
>>They are foaming at the mouth angry.<<
Yea, go figure. Enforce the laws already on the books and people lose their minds. This is exactly the reason Trump’s actions are spot on correct.
Get a handle on this out of control immigration debacle.
Forge ahead.
it was always a 90 day delay in issuing visa’s from those countries on the ban list.
