“One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.”

Why?The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven—
All's right with the world! -
It's so surreal that people who have never risked their lives to save anyone (much less Iraqi Muslims) like to tut-tut at those who actually did."Faith is nothing but a firm assent of the mind : which, if it be regulated, as is our duty, cannot be afforded to anything but upon good reason, and so cannot be opposite to it."

I think it's a comment about Trump's attitude towards Muslims. Trump is the tut-tut target.Originally posted by scott View Post
Did he risk his life in a situation that I am unaware of? Military school doesn't count.

Trump has never risked his life for anybody. He talked about how he'd like to have a purple heart because that would have been simpler.Originally posted by Djharkavy View Post
Just because you all voted for the man doesn't mean you have to keep defending him when he turns into a monster. He's keeping people who have visas and green cards from reuniting for their family. They're legal.Comment

All of what OK? A bunch of underoo-bunched Leftists beclowning themselves by howling about green card holders being forbidden from the US when in fact that's not true at all?Originally posted by Tom Servo View PostIt's been ten years since that lonely day I left you

Yup!! A 90 day hold on visa's until a more stringent vetting process is in place is just fine thank you.Originally posted by Tom Servo View Post
I've been detained in both Mexico and the United Arab Emirates. In the UAE it was because I was traveling with weapons and stayed in country for three days. I knew it would happen. The detention was for their secondary screening system to run it's course. In Mexico I was traveling with an extra suitcase full of out dated medical supplies I was carrying to an EMS unit near Cabo. I conceded to carry them because I was headed there for vacation. The fire captain that was supposed to meet me at the airport got the times wrong and was not there. Joyce and I both were detained for five hours until the captain showed up. I got awarded a T-shirt out of the mess.
Many countries have far tougher laws for visa and immigration than we do. It's time to realize that.If it pays, it staysComment

This graphic is from 2015. It took 2 years or more for a refugee to get through the process. They have since added specific checks on social media and internet history.Originally posted by Frostbit View Post
What did you think is missing to make the process more stringent?

Don't be an ass. It WAS true, whether due to overzealous execution as Trump implied or not. He backed off and the legal resident aliens were readmitted.Originally posted by Adam View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)Comment

What a crock. Due to limited resources and records, you can no more "vet" these people than you could a man from Mars.
