I have no idea if this is true, but would it not be better to get a well thought through bill through both houses instead? I know it might seem mad, but isn't the point of them to make sure the proper checks and balances are included, not just journalists or leftwing concerns like mine but more right wing ideas too?
We seem to have lost our way being able to give and take and discuss meaningfully our goals and how America could develop a better immigration policy while trying to minimise unfairness on individuals.
Just a thought.
- maxerickson 10y agoSure that'd be great. I don't take this order at face value though. I think it is a political move rather than an attempt to do any good for the country. So being better than that is a pretty damn low bar.
- mikeash 10y agoTrump is used to being in charge of privately held companies with limited oversight. All his life, he decides what he wants done, tells his people to do it, and then they do. I'm not sure if he even grasps the concept of being "president" but still having to work with 535 other people he did not choose and may not like in order to get stuff done. If he does grasp it, he certainly shows no desire to actually follow it.
- berberous 10y agoI'm not saying I buy the justification or that it's valid, but the stated purpose of this order is to put a temporary short-term ban in place while the existing vetting procedures can be evaluated. As such, taking the time for a well thought out bill to be discussed in both houses doesn't really make sense.
