Top Democrats fume after Trump expands travel ban to six new countries
Fox News ^ | 2/1/20 Published 2 hours ago | Adam Shaw | Fox News

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was one of a number of top Democrats to rip into President Trump’s decision to expand the travel ban to include six more countries on Friday -- with Pelosi describing it as “discrimination disguised as policy.”

“The Trump administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law," she said in a statement. "The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy."

The initial seven countries have restrictions on both immigrant and non-immigrant visas, but Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf told reporters that the six countries announced Friday are very different from the current seven, which is why the restrictions are lighter.

“These countries, for the most part, want to be helpful, want to do the right thing, have relationships with the U.S. and are in some cases improving relations, but for a variety of different reasons failed to meet those minimum requirements that we laid out,” he said.

Criteria considered when judging countries included to what extent the countries share information on passports and prospective bad actors, as well as whether or not the country poses an elevated national security risk in relation to crime, terrorism and illegal immigration.

But the more nuanced approach did not appear to soften Democratic complaints about the move.

They already did. Early on, they accused PDJT of doing nothing while this pandemic would kill us all. LOL Major fail, so it’s back to the race card.

ESAD, Pelosi. Why don’t you go ahead and impeach him for it?

I find I am so repulsed by “What’s her face” I will not look at her anymore. Her brain is an illogical bowl of mush and mired in “power rhetoric”, her pronouncements are nothing more than rants of an insane woman. It seems she has plenty of company in the Senate. I wonder who is actually thoughtful and logical in that place?

When, oh when, will we be rid of her? Some of her comments are so immature I wonder if her deranged daughter made them up.

Obama’s petty tyrant judges tossed out the ban last time because they deemed it was actually a ban on Mozlems. That would have been a feature, not a bug.

Did she stop her chops? Not only no but Hell no.
Not easy to see unless you zero in on the bottom chops.
Those bottom chops flutter as they send the top rebounding to where they belong. A dead give-away to her loose dental situation.

Nigeria has a pretty sizeable fee for a visa for American citizens wanting to enter the country.

And what is common to all of these countries? Major islamofascist organizations and islamic demographics who are instructed by their imams.... to infiltrate the Great Satan.

Pelosi is operating (with a short deck), as if these are poor refugees... when in fact they are fronting money to democrats to buy their way in. Since they can no longer get into UK because the EU cannot make them take them.... the rise in the “immigrants” who are a danger is due to that avenue being closed to them. As the EU dissolves over this issue the pressure is on the EU loving globalist democrats to “open our borders”.... which is totally illegal, and Constitutionally in control of the President.

Really, who would take more Somali skinnies, like Ilhan Omar— who married her own brother to “get him in” and is in a crap load of trouble (3 federal investigations including ICE).

Trump is cleaning house, cleaning up the kickback money scheme through various countries and US sponsored non-govt. organizations who are “selected” (like Yovanovitch did in Ukraine) for US AID funding— on the basis of tacit unwritten agreement for the “non-profit” NGO to kick back 20% of their contract as “bakshish” (as they say in the ME— a BRIBE) back to specified candidates democrat, and to the DNC. This source is drying up, as it should.

Pelosi is on the ropes, mentally and in any kind of “leadership”. One look at the absolute slimeball that is Schumer, after the no witness vote- saying all kind os shite, about “unprecedented”— means as a democrat gang of Intel 8 he is one of the coup enablers and plotters. And he and Nancy are scared shiteless about their actions in the “russia, russia” false narrative and FISA court abuse. They could be prosecuted, and will definitely be “outed”.

Could someone explain to me how a travel ban threatens our security?
Really? You don't get their thinking?

If we aren't nice to them, they'll hate us and want to hurt us...AKA "threaten our security"

I'm barely worth a farthing compared to how much this amoral chiseler has diverted into her personal coffers, but even my dentures fit better than hers. I bet she smells like a can of perfumed tuna fish.

“If he did nothing, they would fume about that as well. So, better to have them fume with regards to his taking the right steps, opposed to him doing nothing”

I’m totally shocked that Piglosie or Schumer haven’t trotted out to the media megaphone and denounce Trump on his handling of the Coronavirus situation as well...... just a matter of time.

travel ban threatens our security,


Okay you dizzy bitch, explain to me why limiting our exposure to overseas terrorists from Muslim nations that want to kill us is a threat to our security.

The real threat is the you and your brainless others in the demonrat party.

I think that with Coronavirus expanding rapidly, ANY travel restrictions are appreciated by the general public.

Immigration policy can and should discriminate. It’s not related legally to domestic fair housing laws - not at all. We should admit people who will be assets and contribute to USA. ( I’d also admit some genuine humanitarian cases but not let this serve as an open door to more islamic twrrorists or terrorism supporters - or Mexican or communist Chinese drug pushers etc)
