But he didn't block Iranians AND say that if Iranian-Americans left the country they wouldn't be allowed back in as well. Trump wants to block Muslims AND not let Muslim Americans back into the country if they leave.

Oh, .............and he deported Iranian students. Forgot that part.

Not that I know of. I was being facetious, almost to the extreme.

I'm kind of stunned you R's want the Government to have the ability to do that.

Although I have voted republican a few times (moreso on a local/state level then federal), I'm usually registered as a democrat because of local interests more than anything else. Am I conservative? Yeah. But repubs as a whole are just as plastic as dems. Once you get to a certain level they are all pliable IMO.

As far as the visa application process, it has nothing to do with religion. It would make sense to me to at least verify addresses, don't you think? What would it take to click on Google Maps or something (insert a lol here). Something like 30 seconds, if you're a slow typer, to type in an address into some sort of program to see if it exists. If it takes a while for this process to happen anyway, what is 30 seconds more? Will it create a burden on the process? How much more time could it actually create per individual? Will it need a vast increase in labor?
I wouldn't think so, but again, these are questions that I really think are valid and wouldn't put anybody into a tough position to answer, no matter their political affiliation.

Seems pretty obvious that they did no vetting of this particular terrorist.

when it comes to social media, I wonder how they will handle it. if someone sets their facebook profiles to private, do they really expect these investigators to get search warrants for every single applicant/refugee or whatever? if so, what is the probable cause to get the warrant? its not a crime to want to be a citizen.

Seems pretty obvious to me. You put a line in the application, "By submitting this application you give agree to allow the US government access to all online profiles until your citizenship is official."

Better than seeing a couple hundred bodies explode.
