NYT:
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday signed a revised version of his executive order banning migrants from predominantly Muslim nations, removing Iraqi citizens from the original travel ban at the urging of the State and Defense departments.
The order, which comes about a month after federal judges blocked Mr. Trump’s haphazardly implemented ban in January on residents from seven Middle Eastern and African countries, was delayed for about a week as the White House sought to better coordinate its activities with federal agencies.
It was also pushed back to maximize its public relations impact, according to three administration officials.

In other words, Ghasem Soleimani's guys from Karbala and Najaf can come to the US, but not Rouhani's supporters from Shemroon!
Such a joke...this whole ban nonsense.
Got to protect our great nation. Sorry to have to get rough like this.
Problem: we on't protect our nation. Pakistanis, Saudis, Afghanis, Iraqis, etc..., who have been committing acts of terror in the U.S. are still coming in.

90 days and the fact that it is possible other countries will be added to the list ( i know it is a bit shaky but still) is not a heavy price to pay for protecting what we love.
Fact of the matter is that the IRI IS an active sponsor of terrorism all over the world.
Besides. You got a whole wave of potential lawsuits and a whole host of other actions coming our way...so who knows man? Maybe something good would come out of this thing , after all.
No way other countries will be added. He's had since January to think about this. He even removed one: Iraq!
Ok. Fine. But it is not over yet.
I was taking a look through the text of the EO...It is all a bunch of things not even worthh the hassle.
they may ask you to name social sites you visit, Who are your contacts, some basic stuff. Now , If someone is so unwilling to give that info, Then by all means they should sit their behinds at where they are and forget about the Amereeekan deereem!
I recall there was a time, not so long ago, when calling terrorists, "Muslim/Islamic" was deemed an insensitive thing to do. But now that Trump is in the White House, all of a sudden the anti-Trump camp entities seem to be competing against each other in using the terms Muslim or Islamic.
That said, the population of the countries affected by Trump's temporary ban is only about 12% of the total number of the Muslims worldwide. And not all the people living in those countries are Muslim.
GR jan
In addition to the fact that decisions will be made on a case by case basis, so No way in hell that this can be interpreted as a Ban on ALL muslims.
Doctor Jaan,
Bannon said it best.
"They’re corporatist, globalist media that are adamantly opposed to an economic nationalist agenda like Donald Trump has." Stephen K. Bannon speaking of the mainstream media
I am pretty sure that statement was made by one of our pals right here on this site:)
