he seems to be living up to the promises made in the run up to the election and given that he won ,it would seem he has the people on his side they knew exactly what they voted for he blurted it out at every opportunity .

Re: US Election 2016
 

Winning an election doesn't justify immoral acts. How would you like if you were separated from your family in a country you were legally entitled to live in and had been living in?

These are legal immigrants. All the proper documentation. They live in America. They're being denied entry back in because of where they were born.

Re: US Election 2016
 

its an election promise being fulfilled ,and not being american i don't see it as any of my business ,in the same way that i don't expect Americans to interfere with our domestic policies , i would imagine the wording of the executive order will probably be amended if it is deemed necessary.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Neither Trump nor his supporters had the first clue of the consequences of some of his proposed actions ,they simply voted for populist nonsense and will now pay the price .

I can't read that link as it's behind a paywall.

But if you're a dual-national that means you have an American passport and are an American citizen. You can't ban your own nationals.

There has to be something incorrect about that story surely.

Re: US Election 2016
 

So you think that fulfilling election promises trumps peoples legal rights and allows for breaking families apart,and it's very much our business because whatever that idiot does will directly affect the rest of the developed world ,we are still recovering from the last time America sneezed.

Re: US Election 2016
 

It means dual-nationality of a nationality other than one of the banned countries. So a British-Iranian for example. Not dual nationality with America.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Nice sub link Damien.:rolleyes:

Re: US Election 2016
 

An Iranian with American nationality is banned ,an American with Iranian nationality is not .The ban applies to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia with more countries to be added to the list

if you type "Trump Visa Ban Also Applies to Citizens With Dual Nationality, State Department Says"you will get the full article from the WSJ

Re: US Election 2016
 

Oh, ok.

Well he's doing two - three things.

- he's honouring his election promises, something our politicians could learn

- he's sending out a hardline message to any would be terrorists or accomplices.

- he's setting out that in his presidency he is not scared to go to places that previous politicians wouldn't dare go for fear of political correctness and upsetting people.

Is that wise? Maybe.

Is it right to penalise innocent people?? I would say not.

But he is setting his stall out early.

People voted for change and for action, and they're going to get it, it would appear.

Re: US Election 2016
 

What if that election promise is unworkable rubbish ,should he still honour it?

Re: US Election 2016
 

May has to Brown nose Trump otherwise our country will be up the creek without a paddle.

Re: US Election 2016
 

People have pointed out that Mo Farah, who trains in Portland, won't be able to now. Not a surprise given the order but a sign of how barmy this policy is.

Still no official rescinding of the green card issue but a couple of people have been released so far, others were sent back before they got on the plane. It's being enforced in Dublin Airport as of a few hours ago. CNN reported they'll be allowed back in after an interview with an official if the official judges it to be fine but no idea what's going on.

Re: US Election 2016
 

He should try.

Re: US Election 2016
 

And yet the countries that the 9/11 terrorists came from are not on the list of countries that are banned...
