I believe Trump was calling for a pause in immigration from know terrorist hot spots until this little ISIS thing can be resolved. He does not want to want to flood the US with Islamic Immigrants hostile to US way of life? He does not want the US to make the same mistakes made in Europe and end up like France and Belgium? Democrats on the other hand are for open borders. They know that 70% of the immigrants will vote democratic once they attain citizenship and they want the additional votes to dominate elections.

Donald Trump likes to shoot off his mouth before checking the facts. Yes. He included the Philippines in his list of "terrorist" states.

Many Americans are dissatisfied with this year's Democrat (Hillary Clinton) and Republican (Donald Trump) party candidates. There are actually two additional political parties which the media ignores. The candidates are not permitted to join the presidential debates unless surveys indicate 15% of potential voters favor them. Lacking exposure, the Libertarian and Green Party usually poll less than 3% -- except this year. Support for Gary Johnson (Libertarian) is close to 12% while about one third of the Bernie Sanders supporters are expected to vote for Jill Stein (Green Party). In Utah, which is Mitt Romney territory, who is no friend of Donald Trump, Johnson's numbers are at 16% and surging. 

My vote and political contribution goes to Gary Johnson, former Republican governor of New Mexico. He is socially liberal, but fiscally conservative. While considered a long shot, you never know because, so far, it has been a crazy election year.

[Hey Steve]

My wife is in the process of getting approval to lift her conditions on her Green Card. The paperwork to apply went through as complete as can be-nothing strange-nothing missing-yet they sent an RFI (request for more information) letter back-took 6 months of waiting. I gathered the requested info and sent it back straight away (we'll see what happens).

She saw the You Tube clip of "The Donald" talking about the Philippines-terrorist nation speech, etc shortly after receiving this RFI letter from USCIS. She worries because she's from southern Mindanao that she's going to be targeted or scrutinized more and thinks they will call us down for an interview. I told her-no worries-this guy has no authority at this point (may never-not going to predict either).

Well, some people are getting kidnapped and their heads cut off by muslims. If that was all I was told, I would probably come to the same conclusion.

Moderator note:

NO POLITICS PLEASE!

I had to remove 15 posts from people who insist on making this thread about US politics.  Please read the replies so far and follow the topic.  The topic is how one political figure has made a statement which may impact filipinas moving to or visiting the USA.  Please don't push JGF into locking or deleting the thread!

At the present time, this topic is speculative or a, "what if" situation. We need to wait until after the American elections to determine what course of action will be taken by the new, incoming administration.

There is also such a thing as bureaucratic inertia. Radical changes are seldom arbitrary decisions made by the president. It is highly unlike the US Congress will approve everything that a new president wants. Any change may also require approval by the US Supreme Court because of constitutional issues.

The tricameral system (administrative, legislative and judicial) proposed by the nation's founding father prevents giving too much power to one branch of government.

He's already softening his tone on the immigration front.

I don't think Trump is against Americans bringing their foreign born spouse to the US, Trump's wife is from Slovenia.

Ivana Trump, the ex wife was from Czechoslavakia.

I think Trump is against uninvited or self invited and or undocumented immigration.
