Probably have a justice dept. that will actually deal with our corrupt politicians. Liberals can organize visitation committees to visit their favorite DC crooks once they are put where they belong...in the big house.

"lone wolf"... don't you mean "psychopath mass murderer who shot up a mosque because he's filled with fear and hate"? He's a terrorist, just like the Orlando Pulse shooter, they just have different reverse causes.
And Trump's ridiculous executive order wouldn't have stopped this guy from entering the US and shooting people here. Why don't we just block Canadians from entering now too? /s
It's easy to see the absolute hypocrisy in Trump's order if you just think things through.
Really. Can you explain your involvement in protecting the USA from the threats claimed by the current officeholder?
We'll wait.
It all comes down to this when debating with liberals....it's just not worth it because you can't have an intellectual discussion with incompetence.
When another mass shooting happens in the USA, please come back here and eat crow. If you think we are more safe from this executive order, you are delusional. He didn't even ban the countries where most of the terrorists even come from!!! Oh yeah, I forgot... Trump has business dealings in those countries... SMH
I wonder where a lot of you guys get your news.
Good on Tim. Roll out the legal challenges. This is not "exactly the same" as anything Obama did. And even if it WAS, how would that make it any more right?

Trump is NOT keeping you safe, he is stoking your misplaced fears and lighting a fire under the types of people who are likely to commit terrorist attacks. This. Is. Stupid. Everyone qualified enough to make the call says as such. Anti terrorist professionals around the world publicly face-palmed at the whole thing.
I live close to a lot of immigrants, we have refugees, etc. We get along fine. My daughters' school just had their annual supper for peace, where people bring their multicultural foods to share and learn about each other. The kids have none of your outmoded prejudices. We're proud to look out for each other.
Religious and ethnic exceptionism makes things worse. Fear is the mind killer.

Still that is another discussion, which would be up to legislators. Apple only uses the opportunity available to them, as what is expected by their owners, the shareholders. Tim Cook is after all employed by them, and they will fire him if they were to realize that Tim Cook hire Americans who expect to be paid 40-50% more than equivalent guest workers. It is a capitalist system after all.

Lone wolfs, delusionals and other social outcasts are usually the prime target for recruitment by terrorists, and extremist organizations.
It is great work. Thank you President Trump for making us a safer country, and showing Apple's true colors by causing Tim Cook to come out crying. They should have been hiring Americans in the US all along. My loyalty to Apple is growing very dim.
Edit: I could care less about Apple's employment situation. Hire Americans and avoid this issue.

I care about quality more than speed. You sound like a Project Manager. Lets get it out the door fast...quality be Darned. I don't care if it takes years if it makes us safer. Improving our vetting process is just common sense.
Hilariously silly comment. No coffee yet? Every international company, and Apple is the biggest of that sort, has staff constantly traveling international. They have over 100000 staff worldwide, so of course they cannot hire Americans everywhere. Ever looked at the globe? The problem is not Trump but that half the US does exactly what the world expects and just stops thinking completely.
Turning onwards and building walls has never kept a country much safer.
But ok, keep painting the world black and white. Worked out so well for you.
Cook will lose. What Trump did was perfectly legal. This is just a knee jerk reaction from Cook and others because of their hate for Trump. Case closed. Nothing to see here.
Apple and the other tech companies aren't going to sue until Trump introduces his reforms on the H1B program. That is what this is about. They don't want to lose the ability to further depress wages by abusing the H1B program. People forget Apple, Google, etc, were successfully sued for colluding to depress wages by agreeing not to hire the other's employees.
In other words, none. At least you admit you have zero experience, knowledge, or training in national security. But we already knew that.
To paraphrase, when the entire national security apparatus of the US knows, based on real data, that the new commander in chief is a threat to national security, that's perfectly normal. But you're unfortunately just a bit too narrow in your thinking to consider anything that doesn't fit your narrative. So sad.
The Saint Cloud attacker was born in Kenya (not on the list), moved here at age two, and became a citizen ten years before the attack.
The Manhattan bomber was from Afghanistan, also not on the list. So the EO would have done nothing to prevent either of those.
But to get back to the original question.
From your three examples, the answer is zero, as horrible as those attacks were, there were no deaths of victims. And two of those three examples weren't even from those seven countries.
Not that we should have a false sense of security, but we already vet people coming into the country and statistically speaking people here are in much greater danger from our own citizens.

He can't be both? It's hardly a defense to claim someone isn't racist because they don't discriminate against every minority.
[doublepost=1485965338][/doublepost]
Not even remotely the same thing, nobody is buying those lies. Did Obama block people who already had valid, approved green cards or visas? Yes or no?
I am referring to hiring Americans in the US. And never mentioned anything about the Wall. Different topic. Maybe you haven't had your coffee today
And on top of that, this is the company that has been slammed with a fine for illegal tax accounting in Europe!

i can tell you how a vetting process works for Indians. It may extrapolate to the similar way in these countries or may be not.
As part of vetting process, US approaches Indian law and enforcement to provide background information about the candidate applying for visa. The law enforcement department sends a cop to either the candidate's house or calls the candidate to the police station. Mind you that there is no electronic record keeping in India. And no cop is gonna go into the file storage room to dig out information. Instead, the cop will ask you for bribe and once you give that, you are given a glowing recommendation.
So tell me is 18 months of vetting process is good enough?

Actually ..... no. The implementation could have been smoother. However the majority of the backlash has been whining and crying via incorrect, spun, or improper headlines. If you take the "untruths" and associated complaints out, there isn't much left.

Question: Do you know what the current vetting shortfall is? Has nothing to do with duration.
I suggest you look up the word "ban" in the dictionary, then revisit your comment. Semantics doesn't help the hundreds of lawful permanent residents who were prohibited from boarding a plane to come home or were detained once they arrived home.
I looked it up:
"to prohibit, forbid, or bar; interdict: "
So to say Temporary Ban would mean to temporarily prohibit, forbid, or bar; interdict. Sounds right to me. Where was this posters error?
