Trump Backpedals on Ban: Green Card Holders Now Okay to Return

WASHINGTON — John F. Kelly, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, eased a key part of President Trump’s immigration order on Sunday, saying that people from the affected countries who hold green cards will not be prevented from returning to the United States.
“In applying the provisions of the president’s executive order, I hereby deem the entry of lawful permanent residents to be in the national interest,” Mr. Kelly said in a statement. “Accordingly, absent the receipt of significant derogatory information indicating a serious threat to public safety and welfare, lawful permanent resident status will be a dispositive factor in our case-by-case determinations.”
Even with his statement, much of the order was still being enforced, and travel was disrupted for many around the world. Thousands of protesters gathered for a second day at American airports and other public spaces amid uncertainty about whether federal officers were fully complying with court orders blocking the immediate deportation of some people arriving from affected countries and requiring that anyone detained be granted access to lawyers.
With thousands of protesters marching outside the White House and thronging the streets of Washington and other cities, Mr. Trump late Sunday defended his order. “To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting,” he said in a written statement. “This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.”

Someone should get fired over this, right?

It must be a Real Royal Bummer for you that he is a Thinker and a Learner and not a Politician.
He can assess and evaluate on the fly just fine, instead of being immobilized waiting for the perfect plan, which does not exist

Responding to his constituents? The horror.

No. But I would like to know why they they felt the need to rush into something like this without thinking it through and preparing those would be enforcing the ban.
What info spurred the action?

No one cares. Why are we giving in to these domestic terrorists(sjws) and foreign Islamic terrorists?
I say we just carpet bomb Syria. Block all immigration, and let the fleas scatter like we would have in the good old days. That's the America I didn't live in, but have read about in my Marxist slanted history books.

No. If you take a breathe, this is stunning how quickly they fixed the issue.
This isn't exactly my favorite issue, but one can't help but notice how quickly they fixed this.
Good for them.

The spin of Trumpkins is unreal
Turning a hasty and incompetent process that turned into harmful policy into a sign of Trump's competence and adaptability because he reversed on something more diligent statesman wouldn't let happen in the first place.
Amazing.

Meh... He was already exceeding expectations. No need to impose a ban like this without provocation of some kind.
