WASHINGTON ― Kellyanne Conway, top advisor to President Donald Trump, suggested on Sunday that she understands what its like for immigrants and refugees to be detained at U.S. airports because her own travels were slowed down after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
I was stopped many times ... after 9/11, she said on Fox News Sunday. I didnt resemble, or share a name with, or be part of any kind of terrorist conspiracy, but this is what we do to keep a nation safe.
Conway was defending Trumps sweeping executive order on immigration, which halts refugee resettlement for 120 days, bans Syrian refugees from entering the U.S., and for 90 days blocks individuals from seven Muslim-majority countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Scores of immigrants and refugees were detained at U.S. airports over the weekend as protesters around the country demanded for them to be let go.
Late Saturday night, a federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, temporarily blocked parts of Trumps immigration ban, ruling that sending refugees back to their home countries could cause irreparable harm.

(10,303 posts)Being stopped and questioned is one thing. As long as the questions make sense.
Turning away people who chose to come here and do good - turning away doctors, scientists, etc., who got visas, green cards... someone whose naturalization ceremony was two weeks away... that isn't the American thing to do... heck it isn't the HUMAN thing to do.
Isn't just Alternative Facts we got to worry about. She's in some fucking alternative reality.
These new politics have gotten to my civility. dropping the fucking f bomb. Ungh
