    The Intelligent Pragmatism Behind Trump's Refugee and Visa Suspension

    The Intelligent Pragmatism Behind Trump’s Refugee and Visa Suspension…



    Posted on January 28, 2017 by sundance



    Many people are wondering why suspend visas relating to travel from: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Why those countries specifically? What’s this all about.
    The answer to that question and many other questions surrounding the recent executive actions of President Trump can be answered deliberately by looking forward, not backward.





    Due mostly to the action of Russia, Islamic extremism is currently in retreating position from Syria. In the weeks and months to come, radical Islamic extremists of various factions will be facing even more defeats as their strongholds are recaptured. In addition to their current geographic locations, where will the extremist elements go in retreat? Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.


    Do not forget that between the November 8th, 2016 election and the January 27th, 2017 signing of these executive actions, President Trump and the incoming security/intelligence apparatus have been in contact with mid-east envoys who historically understand the predictable fall-back plans of the violent extremists within the Muslim Brotherhood.


    The Brotherhood is the political face of the various extremist factions. International partners for the U.S. including King Abdullah (Jordan), Fattah Abdel el-Sisi (Egypt), and Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), hold a time-tested understanding of where the extremist elements within Islam exist and where their moves can be predicted.






    You might remember how fluid the extremist elements were in their travels from Afghanistan (Iman al-Zawahiri’s al-Qaeda leadership), into Egypt (Mohammed al-Zawahiri – Brotherhood leadership), and then into Libya (Hillary’s “rebels”) and Syria (al-Nusra – McCain’s “rebels”) during the activity from 2010 through today.


    The trails used by these extremist elements are well traveled, often predictable, and ultimately connected to ebbs and flows from their home region and network of support. The origin of many extremist travels begin in: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.


    ♦ BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND – If a larger regional plan is going to defeat the extremist elements with the use of regional allies who know these affiliates best; and with General James Mattis at the tip of the spear; the forward review becomes a matter of simple pragmatic security precautions on visa suspensions from the areas of greatest concern.


    As a member of the Trump national security transition team James Carafano outlined:

    […]
    As the space for the Islamic State, or ISIS, gets squeezed in the Middle East, the remains of the tens of thousands of foreign fighters will have to flow somewhere. Every nation, not just the U.S., believes they are most likely to flow to the countries cited in the order. That fact, and only that fact, is why those countries are included on the list. Indeed, when it comes to visa-vetting, that’s why the European Union has restrictions that are comparable to the United States. (link)





    President Trump is simply being pragmatic. He understands that when these extremists start losing they will fall back, regroup and lash out. The suspension of visa approvals from the predictable extremist territory they will occupy in retreat is simply Trump trying to protect the U.S. from the consequence of the extremist defeat.


    Remember, President Trump already outlined what and why during his September 7th 2016 speech in Philadelphia when he outlined the strategy for Peace through Strength:

    (TRANSCRIPT) […] In a Trump Administration, our actions in the Middle East will be tempered by realism. The current strategy of toppling regimes, with no plan for what to do the day after, only produces power vacuums that are filled by terrorists.


    Gradual reform, not sudden and radical change, should be our guiding objective in that region.


    We should work with any country that shares our goal of destroying ISIS and defeating Radical Islamic terrorism, and form new friendships and partnerships based on this mission. We now have an Administration, and a former Secretary of State, who refuse to say Radical Islamic Terrorism.


    Immediately after taking office, I will ask my generals to present to me a plan within 30 days to defeat and destroy ISIS.


    This will require military warfare, but also cyber warfare, financial warfare, and ideological warfare – as I laid out in my speech on defeating Radical Islamic terrorism several weeks ago.


    Instead of an apology tour, I will proudly promote our system of government and our way of life as the best in the world – just like we did in our campaign against communism during the Cold War.
    We will show the whole world how proud we are to be American.


    At the same time, immigration security is a vital part of our national security.


    We only want to admit people to our country who will support our values and love our people.


    These are the pillars of a sound national security strategy. (continue reading)

    Another Promise Fulfilled – President Trump’s Temporary Halt on Refugee Influx and Seven Nation Visa Suspension…


    Posted on January 28, 2017 by sundance


    In yesterday’s executive action (full script not yet released) President Trump suspended the visa travel program with Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days in order to assess the screening process for immigrants, and


    Additionally, as reported by Reuters, President Trump put a four-month hold on the State Department refugee program, while the vetting process is reviewed and security practices put into place to enhance the screening process.







    The reaction from the left-wing open-border globalists was entirely predictable. However, even though their response was predictable, it is still incredible to see the complete lack of cogent understanding within their arguments. This quote from CAIR is a case study in abject moonbattery:



    (Reuters) […] The order seeks to prioritize refugees fleeing religious persecution, a move Trump separately said was aimed at helping Christians in Syria. That led some legal experts to question whether the order was constitutional.


    One group said it would announce a court challenge on Monday. The Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] said the order targets Muslims because of their faith, contravening the U.S. Constitutional right to freedom of religion.
    “President Trump has cloaked what is a discriminatory ban against nationals of Muslim countries under the banner of national security,” said Greg Chen of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. (more)



    Seriously? This is not the first time we’ve heard and seen this absolutely insane argument in the media. The United States Constitution ONLY covers American citizens, and lawful resident aliens. FULL-STOP.




    The U.S. Constitution is not a global document protecting the rights of Iranians, Iraqis, Libyans, Somalians, Sudanese, Syrians and Yemeni nationals. This legal narrative is complete nonsense, yet it shows how years of global liberalism have completely diminished even the most basic structural concepts of law, rights and privilege.


    The fact that Reuters would even publish such a ridiculous proposition, reflects how far down this road of Brangelina Peacenik ‘we-are-the-world’ moonbattery we have traveled.

    If the President of the United States wanted to effectively ban anyone who shows up at a port of entry wearing a yellow shirt, he/she is entirely within his/her legal and constitutional right to do so.
    Cont. […]Trump’s order also suspends the Syrian refugee program until further notice, and will eventually give priority to minority religious groups fleeing persecution.
    Trump said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network that the exception would help Syrian Christians fleeing the civil war there.


    Legal experts were divided on whether this order would be constitutional.


    “If they are thinking about an exception for Christians, in almost any other legal context discriminating in favor of one religion and against another religion could violate the constitution,” said Stephen Legomsky, a former chief counsel at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Obama administration.

    WRONG. President Trump can establish any arbitrary standard for the allowed or preferred U.S. immigration process, he deems in the nation’s interest. President Obama did exactly the same thing with the reverse ideological intent.




    In fact, President Trump could, by the constitutional power of his office, completely shut down the entire immigration and naturalization process, halting any further emigration to the U.S. permanently.

    […] Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law, said Trump’s action would likely be constitutional because the president and Congress are allowed considerable deference when it comes to asylum decisions.


    “It’s a completely plausible prioritization, to the extent this group is actually being persecuted,” Spiro said. (read more)

    No person outside of the United States has a “RIGHT” to come to, or live in the United States of America. Guest visitation (Visa approval) is a privilege, and emigration is entirely a structure of policy controlled by the executive branch of the U.S. through the Department of State.

    Islam will never rule the world or turn the world into their third world oppressed toilet countries from which their people are fleeing. More and more people are waking up each day to see how these zealots want to take over the world and create tyranny and slavery for all. The liberal idiots just do not get that this threat to our freedoms is very real and very likely if we do not act now.
    Freedom isn't free... Don't forget the men who died and gave that right to all of us....
