The attacker was from Egypt which is not on the list
I hope he puts Wakanda and Sokovia on the list
reminder that there is an active genocide in Burma (Myanmar) and trump just banned asylum seekers from there

Poor Haiti is always getting shit on.
The best, most patriotic people I served with were two guys from Haiti.

Why Iran? Like the stereotypical Iranian refugee is a doctor who wants rights
I’ve never encountered an Iranian refugee before, just normal expats.
It’s largely queer people and feminists. The one that stuck with me was a lesbian atheist who was just ecstatic to be in the Midwest
Honestly surprised Palestine isn’t in there. The man hates those people.
Ah, but including Palestine means recognizing it as a sovereign nation. I believe Trump views Palestine as a region in rebellion against Israel.
True
Which is really weird when you realize they helped elect him.
More specifically all the American people who refused to vote for Harris because she wasn’t pro-Palestine enough for them did.
Sure, it was an absolutely stupid take as Trump is far, far worse for everyone, but there you go.
The fuck did Laos and Chad do? Like I can kinda get the reasoning for the rest even if it’s a fucking stupid thing to do regardless but aren’t Laos and Chad relatively stable right now? Did I miss something?
My money is on him thinking Chad is a person.
It means lake and yeah I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that was a thing. Yeah know I’m bordline a NEET because I make interviewers nervous yet these fucken ghouls can be dumber than shit and control the fucken country, seems a bit unfair.
Also I make interviewers nervous because I don’t blink enough and radiat Autism and PTSD, I hate that getting a job requires what amounts to a vibe check.
He’s still in the Vietnam era, dodging the draft and tending to his bone spurs.
Finally, someone is doing something about the hordes of Equatorial Guineans and Togolese roaming through every major city in America.
So according to his justification it’s “to prevent what happened to Europe”. The Europe which heavily aided the US in the retaliatory invasions post 9/11 through NATO’s Article 5, also the same Europe that has seen the floods of people fleeing the warzones in hopes of finding asylum, not to mention a large increase in terrorist activity in several of its countries? The Europe that’s still dealing with the middle eastern fallout while US sits safe far away with the “big, beautiful ocean” in the middle? That Europe?
Funny. I thought Europe (like NATO) didn’t help the US in any way according to them, some countries (cough cough UK cough cough) didn’t even see war for the last 40 or 50 years, right?
There’s a very special place in hell for the human-shaped plagues who torment mankind at large. A special place fit for certain men with funny mustaches or orange skin.
Unfortunately there is no such place, so it is paramount that these people get what they deserve in this life.
On that I fully agree!
Thank god my (Burmese) daughter in law got her citizenship, but that may not matter to these asshats.
Let me guess before reading the article or comments… South Africa isn’t on the banned list
Crazy. Iran has some really good researchers, at least, I’ve been consistently impressed by Iranian academics abroad.
Interesting, all mostly or extremely poor, in the midst of civil wars, military back coups, etc.
Is this some kind of tough negotiating tactic again from our orange dementia patient in chief?
Im not up to speed on Laos, are they going through something or are they just…Trump wanted an L country?
Dunno, they’re one of the fastest growing economies since 2009 according to Wikipedia. Also a communist government, and landlocked. My assumption was that they’re just poor, but i dont actually have any insight into why they included them in this list.
Fascism always needs an enemy. Start with this list, slowly grow it over time while most Americans are blissfully unaware until it finally affects them but is too late.
