It is an Absolute Shame that we lost all those North Korean Tourists and now the economy will collapse

Note, that even though the title says ban, there are a lot of exceptions. I left the word ban in the title for the sake of simplicity.

Also, I know this is a sensitive topic. Please, if you are going to comment, be civil. And if you feel the need to argue with another commenter, maybe take a breath and ask yourself if arguing with a stranger on the internet is the best use of your time.

What does this have to do with PC?

Level 67

It has nothing to do with political correctness. There is a certain (alarmingly large) segment of the population that thinks any plea for civility or basic common decency is "political correctness." In order to placate them, let me state in terms of which they would approve: those people are idiots.

The fascist regressive ideology embraced and violently imposed by those who preach political correctness is in no way civil or decent.

What's with the weird image of Trump's hair? Just asking

Donald Trump is weirdness incarnate.

Please show me an image of Trump's hair that doesn't look weird.

Is this normal?

Level 73

That looks hysterical. Trump looking like Chris Matthews, almost. Yeah, i don't think there are any pictures where his hair doesn't look...different.

Level 74

No, in fact it looks very unnatural. Something just isn't right about it.

Tourist numbers might be interesting, but people are considerably more likely to come from each of these countries for reasons other than tourism (with Iran perhaps being an exception). Most of the others have unstable or repressive governments where lives are at stake.

+12

Level 74

Oct 3, 2017

Many people travelling from these countries are coming for study or to visit family members. E.g. there's a huge Iranian expat community in LA (aka 'Tehrangeles').

Level 76

Oct 4, 2017

This list basically just targets Venezuela (643,784 admissions in 2015, just under 1% of the 77 million entrants to USA). The other eight countries have just 61,000 visits between them (Chad 1176; Iran 35,266; Libya 2879; North Korea 99; Somalia 359; Syria 16,010; Yemen 5549).

+11

Level 82

Oct 4, 2017

Probably because Venezuela's president has said some nasty things about Trump. and they figure they throw it and North Korea (as if there are tons of North Koreans clamoring to get in to the United States and they all have such an easy time of getting visas, too- how stupid) on the list and now they can point at them and say it's not about religion.

+10

Level 67

Oct 4, 2017

It's not about religion. It's about terrorism and threat to national security. If it was purely on Islam, then Indonesia & Nigeria would be on the list; out of the top 10 countries with the most Muslims, only Iran is on the list.

Level 47

Oct 4, 2017

Not trying to start a huge arguement, but the countries that the travel ban covers are all Muslim countries except North Korea and Venezuela. Just because the countries with the most muslims aren't included does not mean that the ban is not aimed at muslims.

+14

Level 82

Oct 4, 2017

It absolutely is. The USA already vets visa applicants. It was already very difficult to obtain visas to the US coming from countries like Somalia or Afghanistan. Executive orders banning people from certain countries is obviously just red meat being thrown to Trump supporters... and in the case of the Trump travel ban it is, by the man's own admission, an attempt to appear as though he fulfilled his campaign promise to ban all Muslim immigration to the United States. Now since that is not lawful... they've attempted to obfuscate and distort the intent by only including some countries and not others, and now, by throwing on a couple countries without a Muslim majority. And apparently some people have fallen for this. It isn't and never was about security it's purely a political move. One that is completely counter-productive in terms of what's good for the nation.

Level 76

Oct 4, 2017

Precisely! Add a non-Muslim country to the list, then go back to the Supreme Court and say that the six Muslim countries you targeted aren't really targeted at Muslims any more...

Level 16

Oct 19, 2017

Matthew07 If they were trying to get rid of muslims why would they choose these countries. it's a violence and terrorism thing not a religion thing

Level 70

Nov 8, 2018

The ban was obviously aimed at Muslims. Donald Trump thinks that he fulfilled his election promise of "a complete and total ban on Muslims entering the United States" with the order. The connection isn't really a secret.

Level 55

Oct 4, 2017

Venezuela it mostly just applies to government members and their families.

Level 37

Apr 8, 2018

Does anyone in Chad even know where the USA is located? - I would think that they have more pressing issues than to spend their hard-earned money to visit a country of which they have little knowledge.

+10

Level 67

Apr 27, 2019

I think that's a fairly narrow minded statement. Of course people from Chad know where the USA is. I would imagine the people of Chad, on average, know far more about the USA than Americans will ever now about Chad.

Level 50

Jun 12, 2022

I am an American citizen, Chad is my brother, therefore I know a lot about him.

Does anyone in the US outside of Jetpunk know where Chad is located?

Why Chad? Are they held responsible for the 2000 Florida electoral debacle? :)

Level 69

Oct 4, 2017

Thanks, you answered my question, that's the reason, I just couldn't figure it out. The Chadians are the masters of election manipulation, not the Russkies.

Level 67

Oct 4, 2017

America are the real kings of election interference. Ukraine, Iraq, Libya, Israel, Afghanistan etc. Maybe Trump should add America to the list!

Level 82

Oct 4, 2017

He has tried to make it more difficult for people in Puerto Rico to get to the mainland. So in a way he has.

Level 72

Oct 4, 2017

Unfortunately, the hanging Chads give the rest of the decent Chads a bad rap.

Level 48

Oct 5, 2017

I'd have to imagine there's some concern of ISIS being able to print Chadian Passports combined with the large unguarded border with Libya (Though Algeria also shares a similarly large, and similarly unguarded bored).

I haven't looked into it but this would be my guess. Do not take my comment as a statement of fact

Level 67

Oct 4, 2017

I wonder when Trump is going to join Jack Donaghy on the Committee to Re-invade Vietnam.

Level 51

Oct 4, 2017

Not sure why this is really considered 'new' since similar travel bans were in effect under the Bush and Obama administrations. This version just makes a few 'in essence' travel bans (e.g. North Korea) more clear.

Level 82

Oct 4, 2017

Yeah... that's proven BS

So I guess all the terrorists in Sudan and Iraq have moved over these past few months to North Korea, Venezuela, and Chad.

Remove the new from the title otherwise people in the distant future will be confused. Save a thought for our cyber-greatgrandchildren!

keep the mongolians out please

Level 82

May 12, 2019

Trump's best idea at immigration reform was already tried by the Chinese and defeated by the Mongolians around 800 years ago.

Level 82

Sep 11, 2020

The length of the border between East and West Berlin was significantly shorter than the Chinese-Mongolian or US-Mexico border. By some 4,000 km.

Love it when some comments get deleted and you have stuff like this.

It looks like Chad isn't on the list anymore.

The Chad was great.

Level 71

Mar 15, 2020

There are a few more countries on the list since last time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_travel_ban#List_of_countries_under_current_travel_ban

Also... technically most of Europe now. Not sure if you want to include that seeing as it's a temporary measure (for now) and is based less on Trump's desire to restrict immigration and more his belief that it will halt the spread of corona.

Donald and Melania were sitting on their veranda recently one summer evening, staring up at the full moon. Melania said to Donald, "Which do you think is farther, the moon or Moscow?". Donald turned and looked at her incredulously and said, "Duh! Can you see Moscow?".

A few moments later Melania said, "Donald, you are the smartest man in the world. How many people do you think live on the moon?'. Without hesitation Donald said, "200 million". Melania thought about that for a moment and said, "Wow! It must get awfully crowded when it's a half moon".
