Kerfuffle over immigration order shows White House has much to learn

Immediately following news of President Trump’s executive order on immigration, the media and Democrats labeled the action as a “Muslim ban”.

US President Donald Trump is taking decisive steps to “defeat and destroy” ISIS, the White House said on Tuesday, terming the destruction of the dreaded terror group’s capabilities a “humanitarian imperative”.

“It’s a 90-day ban to ensure that we have further vetting restrictions so that we know who is coming to this country”, said Spicer. Kelly was unaware that the order was being signed by Trump.

Hours later, during the daily White House press briefing, Spicer blamed the media for all the immigration uncertainty. He called the addition of Skype to the press corps “a great piece of innovation” and said getting voices from outside the Beltway “oughta be a good thing for all Americans”.

“When we use words like travel ban that misrepresents what it is”, he said.

“It can’t be a ban if you’re letting a million people in”.

Sky News had on Tuesday night reported on the number of refugees included in the deal, but Spicer’s answer was the first official confirmation as to the exact detail of the Australia-U.S. swap. Turns out, however, the man was a white supremacist named Alexandre Bissonnette, who is reportedly a Trump fan. “[Trump] has been very clear that it is extreme vetting”.

Additionally, he does not hail from a Muslim country and that should prove to Spicer that risky people exist in all countries.

Late Friday, the Trump administration announced that it would temporarily bar entry to travelers from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen due to terrorism concerns.

There have been widespread protests across the USA at Trump’s crackdown on travel from the Middle East. The Trump administration has pointed to Obama-era policies in helping to define the seven countries to institute the temporary ban.

“I think that they should either get with the program or they can go, ” stated Spicer of State Department staff who are in opposition to Trump’s executive order, according to The Hill.
