        @brianklaas Brian I am anti -Donald on most issues but on immigration he is right. Do not call it a 'Muslim' ban like the media. INCORRECT!

        @e16b7befa27f4a7 The order literally makes it easier for Christians than Muslims from those countries. It's a Muslim ban (of 7 countries).

        @brianklaas Until stricter checks are put in place this 4-month MORATORIUM, not BAN, is justified given even one innocent US/European death

        @e16b7befa27f4a7 Trump literally called it a ban in his tweets yesterday. You can thank him for clarifying.

        @MichaelandTom The order literally makes exemptions for religious minorities who are not Muslim.pic.twitter.com/QjdxLysBdY

        @brianklaas So you think this makes it a full Muslim ban? Looks to me it's more selective than that.

        Giuliani admits Trump asked him how to "do a Muslim ban legally." So they focused on nationality. Start at 3:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9GKL6i38pI&sns=tw …

        @MichaelandTom @brianklaas Did you not listen to the 30s beforehand? "Danger" & "Nationalities" are just the disguise used for religion.

        @MichaelandTom @brianklaas What's stopping them from banning flights from Saudi-Arabia or Turkey? Business interests of #Trump certainly.
