Trump asked for a Muslim ban, Giuliani says and ordered a commission to do it legally

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-asked-for-a-%E2%80%98muslim-ban%E2%80%99-giuliani-says-%E2%80%94-and-ordered-a-commission-to-do-it-%E2%80%98legally%E2%80%99/ar-AAmnJyK?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro asked Giuliani if the ban had anything to do with religion.
"How did the president decide the seven countries?" she asked. "Okay, talk to me."
"I'll tell you the whole history of it," Giuliani responded eagerly. "So when [Trump] first announced it, he said, 'Muslim ban.' He called me up. He said, 'Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally.'"
Giuliani continued, saying he assembled a "whole group of other very expert lawyers on this," including former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Tex.) and Rep. Pete King (R-NY).

Trump needs to put a muzzle on him, but until then, he's our best blabbering source.

It's not illegal to deny visas for security reasons or do intense vetting of foreigners before they enter the country. But blocking legal residents or people with valid visas is illegal.
