Guess how many terrorists who have attacked America came from the countries from which Trump banned travel. I'll give a number range hint. It is somewhere between -1 and 1.

The San Bernardino shooting that killed 14 people was carried out by an American-born US citizen of Pakistani descent and a lawful permanent US resident of Pakistani descent. The Orlando nightclub shooter who murdered 49 people was an American-born US citizen of Afghan descent. The Boston marathon bombers, who identified as ethnic Chechen, came to the US from Kyrgyzstan and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before carrying out attacks that left three dead. The militant who killed four Marines during a shooting spree in Tennessee was a Kuwaiti-born US citizen whose parents were Palestinian and Jordanian.

Faisal Shahzad, the attempted Times Square bomber, was Pakistani-American. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the infamous “underwear bomber,” was Nigerian. Richard Reid, whose 2001 attempt to blow up an airplane with explosives hidden in his shoes is the reason we still have to stand barefoot in the TSA line more than 15 years later, was born in the UK to a white English mother and a mixed-race Jamaican immigrant father. Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, was born in Virginia to Palestinian parents.

And the 9/11 hijackers? Fifteen were from Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one was Egyptian. Osama bin Laden was a Saudi citizen, and his top deputies — including the current leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, were Egyptian.

Literally not a single one of those countries is on Trump's list, and the ones that do show up repeatedly — especially Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt — aren’t on the list.

Are you just copy pasting this or have it pre-prepared? Because that is a shit ton of text to have just thought of and typed out in the time to respond to me...

The point of the temporary ban(which I agree is poorly thought out) is to postpone refugees from either massive state sponsors of terror or areas where ISIS is heavily involved.

There was an analysis done on the countries that he has business interests in, and was seeking to accelerate growth. Guess how many of those countries are also on the list? Same as yours, OP - between -1 and 1.

If Trump is really serious about dealing with ISIS, the first country he should have on his ridiculous #muslimban list is SAUDI ARABIA, the country that actually funds most of the terror networks! But of course, he won't

I upvoted OP's follow up comment even before finishing reading it. Even if they had it prepared waiting to paste it on here, if all the facts are true, how do you deny them? There are students with legitimate visas returning from vacation who are being detained. Also, Fox is covering this too, republicans themselves are divided as to whether the Muslim ban executive order is correct or not, so don't go all "stop whining as liberals because you heard something on CNN" on us.

Amen Op! Shit! This is so sick!

Snap great info

Ummm D1, so a strong military presence prevents terrorists from growing there?

So having read the executive order, I see that Trump doesn't mention the 7 countries by name, but merely extended the limits of the Visa Waiver program introduced 2 years ago. The program names the countries specifically - doesn't seem like a Trump effort to isolate countries with ties to his business. Definitely am against the ban, but I'm walking back my anger against his perceived business interests

I recently learned from 3 different employees that left (voluntarily) they were making 98-105k. They were outside candidates and were all hired within the last year and for the same position, and same regional territory. I have worked for the company 3+ years and went from a core position, to large loss. I was given a 10k raise putting me around 78k. Yes.... some of these individuals have Lardge Losss experience but does that really make a 20-25k difference? Any advise!?
