the white house is publishing a weekly list of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. every piece of news has been bad so far but this is the first one that positively made my blood run cold.

Godwin's law kinda goes out the window when they legitimately copy the actions and policies of Hitler.

A federal judge has blocked the Muslim ban! :D
A petition to take back the invitation for Trump's visit here because of him banning Muslims from entering the USA now has nearly 20,000 signatures. Ridiculous. It's US policy so nothing to do with us.

Um, a British Conservative MP who was born in Iraq is one of those affected by the ban travelling into America, in addition to many more British citizens born in the countries affected. I'd say it has more than nothing to do with the British government.

There's outcry because I'm sure it's not even a legal policy. I'm sure these things have to go through different stages of vetting before getting passed. At this rate Trump could decide he doesn't want Fruit Loops to be eaten in the US anymore. It's completely wrong, and our PM needs to grow a backbone and tell Trump it's out of order.

Yes they usually have to go through legal processes, Congress etc, but Trump's issued an Executive order for it to take effect immediately which he can do in certain circumstances such as for National Security I believe.

As far as I have understood it this morning from Sky News, it's only a Presidential Executive order for a temporary ban for a month until they decide what to do about muslims and terrorism in the longer term.

So, as a resident of London, are you not bothered about the fact that the mayor of your home city has been told he is not welcome to visit a country that is supposed to be one of our closest allies?

The politicians won't do anything, just look at the SNP and how they overruled Aberdeenshire council when Trump built his gaudy golf club on a protected SSI.

So banning all Muslims is the answer? Terrorists will be laughing right now, as this is exactly what their ideology preaches. Banning refugees and Muslims from the country is not the way to defeat terrorism.

 

Can't wait until Trump starts banning Egyptian, Saudi nationals etc. - oh wait, he won't - despite the fact these are countries of origins for real terrorism crimes committed in the US!

Even if the judges do overturn it, which... it's going to go through a long process before that happens, he's clearly not going to be deterred. Pugnacious, short-sighted moves like the ban were exactly what we'd feared he'd do.

 

He's basically ignoring May, even if she does get the balls to go against him, it will only be a concerted effort by his own government that will stop him.

It took some time for Theresa May to criticise this move. The excuse is that she was in the air when it was announced. Her defenders conveniently overlook the fact that we have known for two or three days that it was coming. They claim that she took her time to give it "careful consideration". Older members may remember that when Gordon Brown failed to respond within nano-seconds, he was accused of dithering.

I'm sure exceptions will be made for certain VIP's.

That would be as bad as apartheid South Africa declaring people to be "honorary whites".
