According to a survey 1/3 of brits would like to have the same ban here in Britian.

Frankly I think its a bad idea but wondered what other people thought.

Quite. Also its the religious targetting and outright lies. Christians have NOT been less welcomed to the States than any other religion.

We have vetting, including the sharing of data with other states. No one has a right to UK entry, without our agreement - including European citizens.

We do this in part as a way to increase our security. Implementation of bans for groups of people can have the opposite effect, by stoking the hatred of us. We want diminished security threats, not higher.

I'm curious as to how closing the borders to new people precludes actions perpetrated by the existent population.

Maybe do a little fact checking before you regurgitate the sun/mail type 'facts'

The seven countries listed were highlighted as 'areas of concern', which means that anyone travelling from or who recently visited those countries were subject to extra security checks ahead of entering the US- it was not a list of banned countries where a blanket ban on entry was in place for no obvious reason other than headline grabbing and posturing. The executive order relating to the bad cited the September 11 attacks, which on the most part were carried out by Saudi nationals, who aren't resticted.....which coincidently is a country Trump has various business connections too....although he's given up all control of his business and has nothing to do with it at all, there will be no conflict of interest- nope, none what so ever

Most of the things you listed aren't committed by actual migrants anyway. So no ban would help in the slightest.

Moreover those acts aren't exclusive to Muslims.

Pretty much this. Trumps ban is entirely pointless and seems to be deliberately disruptive. Its amusing that people cite Obama enacting a similar directive, but Obama did not order the turning away of green card holders (essentially US citizens) and VISA recipients. Yeah, there is a lot of pointless furore at the ban itself but it looks like thats what was intended. Pointless posturing to satiate his idiot support base. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Nigeria and the Baltic regions are contributing plenty Islamic radicals and yet those countries have not been included, in fact many of those countries have already carried out attacks/attempted attacks on US soil (San Bernadino, the attempted plane crotch bomber, the Boston bombing).

I wont say that muslims are not over-represented in certain criminal activities and that there is a general problem with integration, but comments like these are way too simplistic.

Most of the refugees are from the middle east and the horn of Africa. Most child grooming gangs involved Pakistani gangs in the midlands and yorkshire.

There is a big culture and racial clash here which people are refusing to address, dumping it on Islamism is kinda pointless and does not address the nuances of the issue. Hence, you're conflating numerous different things into one central issue. Its also what I find amusing about Brexit itself, whilst its perfectly understandable that people want to control their borders, there is still a lack of realization that "controlling immigration" does not "stopping immigration" and, most likely, immigration will grow even more exponentially once the UK has left the EU.

It was originally Obama's list of countries which were dangerous to visit for Americans, which is subtlety different from being countries which exported to terrorists to the US.

There have been no terrorist acts in the US ever by cititzens or refugees from these 7 countries.

The 4 countries which have had citizens/refugees commit terrorism in the US were unaffected by the restriction, they also happen to be countries Trump has business investments in.

The not well disguised hierarchy of humanity that the Trump administration is promoting is no different to Nazism.

When someone suggests that one group of people, based on colour or creed, are better or worse than another group, we have a hierarchy.

The Nazi's called this Untermenschen - where some groups of people were labelled as "sub-humans". For the Nazis it was Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Gays, and others at the bottom, Aryan/blond haired/blue eyed Germans at the top.

For Trump it starts with Muslims from some countries. What's the next step? Muslims from 20 countries? Then 70 countries? Then no more Blacks or Jews? At some point it could be you, or me, or someone we know. It happens step by step, we need to be guarded that we (the West) don't sleepwalk into Fascism.

5 years ago I would have said I can never foresee a major war in the West again. But with the divisions being sewn in Europe and now in the US, I'd say it's possible I might see war in my lifetime in Europe and the West.

Walls, divisions, prejudice, nationalism, protectionism are the ingredients for hatred and war.

One of the founding aims of Europe/EU is that people who mix together, talk with each other, do business with each other, travel and live together, are much much less likely to go to war with each other.

Trump is an evil man who wants to a dictator, he has no idea about what his people want, but if he did he wouldn't give a shot. Trump thinks that as he has Russia behind him, he is untouchable. Within 12 month the racist horrible little man will have been either impeached, or shot, then maybe the world can restore some safety. While this clown is president nobody is safe. Our government needs to ban him from coming here. Welcoming him to our country, and supporting him, makes us a terrorist target. Forget the trade deal that yes we do need to have with the USA, that can be dealt with as soon as he is out of office. Last point most Muslim's are not terrorist, the Koran promotes peace, a few radicals should not been every person of a certain belief is tarred with the same brush.

LOL come on, I think this shows how little people understand about Fascism. Trump may be a clown, but he is no fascist. The US really doesnt allow for one to even govern in such a way either. Just let the initial furore pass. You cannot govern entirely through executive orders...many of these will end up getting shot down by GOP members looking to make names for themselves.

EU has far greater chance of becoming a fascist state than the US. In fact it pretty much already has, hence why the UK left. Germany has always wanted complete dominance over western and central Europe. Now they have it.

Racist sentiment IS NOT Facism. The fact that so many think it is only stands as a testament to how dreadful state education is. Chancellor Merkel essentially sits as pretty much a supreme ruler, the government is a coalition between the four largest parties and she controls both commerce and the executive.

As said, the very nature of the separation of powers has meant that the US could never really exist as a Fascist state the in the traditional sense. Besides its just not very American.

No. Nazism started when the German economy collapsed and the full effect of the Verseille treaty came to pass. Negative sentiment against Jews had been around in Europe long before the Nazis ever got there.

It's funny, usually it all kicks off when the person in power doesn't carry out the things that they said they would do if voted into power. Trump is sticking to his word. Which is why he was voted in by Americans, why do we British always have to get involved in other countries issues. When Obarma said we shouldn't Brexit, everyone said what's it got to do with him and I didn't see any Americans protesting against Brexit, which we voted for with the main reasons being to take back control of immigration against eastern Europeans. Not far off what Trump has done.

Agreed, I'm all for global business on a small to medium scale. Great example is a British businessman who set up a glove making factory in Ethiopia (Pittards). He pays them all decent wages and has a really successful business out of it that drives the local economy. But when your global powerhouse turns up and just wants to milk away local resources for no gain to the local economy, that insights hatred. Look at the sand oil in Canada and how Keystone XL will affect them.

Correct.

The courts are still virulent and for every proclamation Trump makes it'll be a pork barrel for the Congressmen &c.

What is more interesting is that while we're all worrying about the pointless Trump circus, other actors will move to take advantage of America's paralysis.

It's not all about Trump btw.

I think all that's required is a different skin colour, rather than any examination of where the perpetrator was born. Sadly.

The Orlando shooter was born in America

The Boston bombers were Chechen

9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia .

None of these were from countries on the list .

And a 90 day ban on refugees and people getting visas doesn't do anything about whether people are are in the country illegally or not

At the current level of activity, their odds of being killed in a terrorist attack in a given year are less than two ten-thousandths of one per cent. That’s 27 times lower than their odds of dying in a car accident.

In Turkey, the probability is lower. 194 people killed in attacks since the start of 2015, with a population of 80 million gives each one of them a roughly one ten-thousandth of one percent chance of being killed in one, in any given year.

In Iraq, the numbers are much worse. Iraq, of course, is enmeshed in the horror of a full-on civil war in which tens of thousands have lost their lives, so this kind of analysis is both trickier and seems a little moot. But still, we have to recognise that there have been at least 13 terror attacks in Iraq on civilian populations since the start of 2015, killing more than 650 people. Even away from the front-line of the civil war, Isis’ victims are overwhelmingly Muslim. Even in Iraq though, your odds of being caught in one of these attacks are less than one in a hundred thousand.

"The not well disguised hierarchy of humanity that the Trump administration is promoting is no different to Nazism.

When someone suggests that one group of people, based on colour or creed, are better or worse than another group, we have a hierarchy.

The Nazi's called this Untermenschen - where some groups of people were labelled as "sub-humans". For the Nazis it was Jews, Gypsies, Poles, Gays, and others at the bottom, Aryan/blond haired/blue eyed Germans at the top.

For Trump it starts with Muslims from some countries. What's the next step? Muslims from 20 countries? Then 70 countries? Then no more Blacks or Jews? At some point it could be you, or me, or someone we know. It happens step by step, we need to be guarded that we (the West) don't sleepwalk into Fascism.

5 years ago I would have said I can never foresee a major war in the West again. But with the divisions being sewn in Europe and now in the US, I'd say it's possible I might see war in my lifetime in Europe and the West.

Walls, divisions, prejudice, nationalism, protectionism are the ingredients for hatred and war.

One of the founding aims of Europe/EU is that people who mix together, talk with each other, do business with each other, travel and live together, are much much less likely to go to war with each other.

I couldn't have put it any better !

Err really? Because for the first time in decades there looks to be a chance of a bit of unity between Russia and the west.

Well, there we you go. You hit the nail on the head with a pretty exact definition of terrorism. The whole point of terrorism is to cause terror. It is not about killing a statistically large number of people. It is about making people afraid. It is about dividing people. It is about turning people against each other.

Trump is just doing exactly what the terrorists want.

EU has far greater chance of becoming a fascist state than the US. In fact it pretty much already has, hence why the UK left. Germany has always wanted complete dominance over western and central Europe. Now they have it.

Racist sentiment IS NOT Facism. The fact that so many think it is only stands as a testament to how dreadful state education is. Chancellor Merkel essentially sits as pretty much a supreme ruler, the government is a coalition between the four largest parties and she controls both commerce and the executive.

As said, the very nature of the separation of powers has meant that the US could never really exist as a Fascist state the in the traditional sense. Besides its just not very American."

Do you know part of the definition of facism is being extremely right wing.

If you think the EU is more right wing than the US, particularly given the current government there, then you're not an idiot, you are simply deluded.

Or need to buy a dictionary.

At the current level of activity, their odds of being killed in a terrorist attack in a given year are less than two ten-thousandths of one per cent. That’s 27 times lower than their odds of dying in a car accident.

In Turkey, the probability is lower. 194 people killed in attacks since the start of 2015, with a population of 80 million gives each one of them a roughly one ten-thousandth of one percent chance of being killed in one, in any given year.

In Iraq, the numbers are much worse. Iraq, of course, is enmeshed in the horror of a full-on civil war in which tens of thousands have lost their lives, so this kind of analysis is both trickier and seems a little moot. But still, we have to recognise that there have been at least 13 terror attacks in Iraq on civilian populations since the start of 2015, killing more than 650 people. Even away from the front-line of the civil war, Isis’ victims are overwhelmingly Muslim. Even in Iraq though, your odds of being caught in one of these attacks are less than one in a hundred thousand.

Try telling this to the poor lad on the news today who watched his grandad,dad and brother shoot dead in the Tunisia attack"

Hard cases make bad examples; simple fact of the matter is that you are far more likely to die in a car, at your own hands.

Maybe with your family.

It's about the difference between risk and the perception of risk

"Exactly why should we be scared in our own country. I think twice because of terrorists it's about time we eliminated the threat they have a plan at the moment we haven't and that's what we employ politicians for

Get rid of BBC presenters and priests too. There have been more scandals and cover ups with Brits.

Football coaches too. Disgusting professions Are you serious you get nonces in any professions. This witch hunting of a group of people is as bad as religious rhetoric.

It was sarcasm....."

It was. I realise my British humour needs a smiley.

The terrorist isn't here to just scare and terrorise us they want our way of life to cease and we all follow the rule of the Koran and im talking about Muslims yes there are other terror groups but the one we should all worry about is mainly from these countries. You could pick up on my grammar or pull apart my post and question my facts in a humorous way and that's why they are winning because we do nothing about this problem other than turn the other cheek.

Ok while i do not say ban religion I also dont think mine has a manopoly on kindness compassion or wisdom. I also dont say people with no religion lack any of these traits as a result.

Oh wait I am a lefty Liberal sex addict.

That sounds like war or conquering. Not terrorists. Doesn't that change the game? Nations hide behind collateral damage when our armies kill civilians.

Yes I wish we could all get on with each other war is not the answer but when someone's out to hurt you action is needed. Perhaps it's best if there is no integration as it doesn't work and it's not hsppening

We usually follow on from Americas lead.

They wanted to introduce a multi-cultural society and all it did was create Ghetto's and segregation.

Same is happening in the UK.

Asians Polish etc all live in certain areas of the UK with their own culture where the white UK person is in the minority.

Again all it causes is segregation and not a cohesive multi cultural society.

We dont live in the idealistic world where we will all embrace each others different cultures and live along side each other as Brothers and Sisters and live happily ever after together

Are you sure that's how segregation started in the USA, rather than being rooted in slavery?

Also, there are places in the UK where communities mix well, like Leicester. Which funnily enough votes to remain.

All it took there was a bit of imagination and effort.

I said we usually follow suit with the US in lots of things and the idea of a cohesive multi cultural society is one example.

Oh come on. Everyone knows that areas where immigrants choose to settle swiftly become "ghettos" and "no-go areas for whites"....

I find the turn that this thread has taken since it was moved down to "politics" depressingly familiar.

Let's use the actual history;

1. It's a list drawn up by the National Security Advisors ( at one point in the Obama administration) in response to some very hard intelligence.

2. As a result, additional ( semi covert) surveillance was used on people from some of those target countries for awhile.

3. At one point, when a specific threat was identified, the " ban" (actually it was a stop / check additional surveillance ) was enacted. Several people were identified, and detained.

4. The operation was terminated then finished.

5. Trump and Bannon found the list ( which since no longer of interest, Was just in archives,) and in order to " show his resolution" with no further analysis, Trump activated it again. Simple way to appear to be doing something, without having to do any homework. And able to say " well it was Obama's idea"

While that is true why have they become anti the country they live in, could it be a combination of the attacks on their country of roots plus radicalisation and ISIS have openly said they have/are sending people over here, Bush and Blair caused a lot of this and now somehow we have to find a way of stopping it

The US was built on immigration, from all kinds of places.

It's not a modern 'idea'.

Immigartion is not in my oppinion the problem more the solution.

It is ignorance prjudice intolorance and arogence that is the problem.

These are born out of fear fear of change fear of difference fear of lose of position fear that others are better in someway than ourselves.

When we live shoulder to shoulder with these people we realise that they are just like us afraid of the same things. At that point we stop being afraid of each other.

But we don't want change they are coming to live with us why should we rip up our way of life to suit theirs that they are moving away from. If they changed to ours they would not be noticed and more integrated it just causes resentment when some one say becomes a millionaire within a short time and you find out all they own is a few restaurants... That's good going are they playing with the same rule book.

Lets be honest here most of the people we are talking about can never go un-noticed. They walk down the street and we notice them. They are a different colour to the indiginious population.

The reason one or two become rich in the food indistry is becouse we want the new the different the exotic.

It also explains about 70% of the only looking for BBC style posts on here.

The new diversity that immigration brings stops us being bord with our existance.

Some people want to return to watching snooker in black and white. Me i love hiDef colour.

No I think you will find it unbelievable that from owning a restaurant within 2 yrs they have become a millionaire are they paying their taxes do you think to the society they have become a member in will they get investigated probbly not in case it causes tensions and they scoot off somewhere else because we don't know who they were in the first place let's all work from the same rule book

Seriously, these surveys are like going to your local pub and asking everyone "do you like alcohol?" Some will say no, most will say yes!

You do realise that YOUGOV are making a profile on you for all you complete in their surveys

only you can decide what profile they have on you, they even have your post code (if you give them the correct one), earnings, size of home,
