Enforcing the laws of the land. What is the problem?
The doors are not shut to legal immigration, just illegal.
What is the problem with vetting those that want to come here?

Here is my two cents on the subject. First for the refugees like the one leaving Syria it is 6 months max not 24 months. I have several Iraqi and Afgan terps that come into my veterans office weekly and they say on average it take refugees 6 months. Syria right now is destroyed as everyone has seen on TV which means you "cant" vet those refugees because their place of business is most likely destroyed along with most police records and medical records. You also can't call their school teachers or neighbors anymore to vet.

As for the rest of the countries on the list:

Yemen - Currently fighting insurgents and they have fired on our destroyers twice and suicide attacked a Saudi cruiser.

Somalia - Blackhawk Down, also most of the American ISIS members are Somali refugees.

Iran - Known to fund terrorists and also illegally held hostage US Navy sailors over the summer.

Iraq - Still not a stable country and currently fighting ISIS inside their boarders.

Libya - Benghazi don't think we need to say anything else here.

Sudan - President of the country has two international arrest warrants out for him for thing like Genocide and other war crimes.

It seems to me, the question over the past twenty years has been more about immigration "enforcement" than it has been about immigration "laws". For years the laws did not change but the Executive department failed to enforce the laws. Rather than amend or repeal the laws, (to conform to the lack of enforcement), Congress did nothing. As our industrial economy faded, jobs became scarce and immigration shot to the forefront of US citizens' collective minds. The election hinged on enforcement versus lack of enforcement. In a closely decided election, the states (via the electoral college that ensures state rights) voted for enforcement. States with larger immigrant populations, like Illinois and California voted against it but lost the federal election. Now ... if the people wish to have more stringent immigration laws, then the Executive department will (and should) enforce those laws. If the people wish to have more relaxed immigration laws, then the Executive department will (and should) enforce THOSE laws. At least the issue of enforcement has been resolved. Do you agree?

It's nothing new the previous 3 Presidents had done similar things on immigration. President Trump is just trying to vet possible threats to our country. I think some people are just being vocal because who is saying this information. I think it's just common sense to screen people who are coming into our country especially from countries that don't like the USA.

Agree, but why not screen Muslims from Germany or Belgium? They've committed more terrorist acts against the west than those from the "restricted" countries.

POTUS has to start someplace. Also think what would happen if we opened our borders with no restrictions. Very soon we would be an overpopulated land of different "tribes" fighting for control. People would not assimilate into one , we would be worst than the worst third world country .
We as a civilized people have laws AGAINST child abuse, murder, and such. The Muslim religion have laws FOR these acts. Noone with even a 2 digit I.Q could approve of these "laws" as anything but sub-human.
All religions, as with governments, are for control. However the Muslim religion goes far beyond control, it is a cancer invented by a maniac that we, as a nation, must recognize as such and fight to eradicate it.
