New U.S. travel ban to spare green card holders: Trump official

A new version of a Trump administration travel ban will not stop green card residency holders or travelers already on planes from entering the United States, U.S. Secretary for Homeland Security John Kelly said on Saturday.

U.S. President Donald Trump's initial attempt to clamp down for security reasons on immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries and on refugees snarled to a halt amid a judicial backlash and chaos at airports.

"The president is contemplating releasing a tighter, more streamlined version of the first (order). And I will have opportunity to work (on) a rollout plan, in particular to make sure that there's no one in a sense caught in the system of moving from overseas to our airports," Kelly said at the Munich Security Conference.

Asked whether green card residency permit holders would be allowed in, Kelly said: "It's a good assumption and, as far as the visas go, ... if they're in motion from some distant land to the United States, when they arrive they will be allowed in."

1. Wow thanks. Legal documents are still valid?

2. Doesn't say how long they will quiz them tho..

But in fact, perhaps they have learned from the quickly over crowded airports...

and what about all these stories about increased traffic check points for illegals?

4. Yeah that hasn't been working out so great has it?

Everyone should be worried about their lying bullshit.

They go from calling it a ban, to saying it's not a ban, to calling it a ban again.

Do Not Trust Them.

5. Bullshit. They've said that before.

Give them an inch....
