I've said it before unabashed, I never understood dual citizenship. I can understand it in the short term but not in the long term. I know of some Canadians who have lived and worked in America for literally 75% of their lives and they are still dual citizens, or, still in America but not a citizen. That makes zero sense to me. You don't treat your new nation like a flop house, if you can't decide to commit to sole citizenship of a nation after that long you should pack up and go. So that's first off.

As for this. It's upsetting many Canadians (just wait until NAFTA is ripped up). I don't think banning entire religions is acceptable and most certainly unconstitutional. Admittedly, I haven't read alot about this ban so Im not fully informed but from what I have heard it is a broad ban for particular nations, not specific religions. This is not unusual, it's done sparingly but often enough that it's not a great shock.

Don't forget, there are alot of good Canadians here who would love to contribute, save us! :eusa_shifty:

Trump bans Canadian dual citizens from 7 Muslim-majority countries from U.S. | Toronto Star

WASHINGTON—Canadian citizens who are also citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries have been banned from entering the United States by President Donald Trump in a massive break from the traditional free flow of travellers between citizens of the two countries.

The countries targeted by Trump’s 90-day ban are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Tens of thousands of Canadians have dual citizenship in one of them.

Trump’s Friday order even bars entry to the U.S. by permanent residents with “green cards” who are also citizens of one of the countries. That means, for example, that an Iranian-Canadian green card holder who makes her home in Chicago cannot come to Canada to visit her parents and then cross back over the U.S. border.

The order has created mass confusion around the world as governments, businesses and ordinary people attempted to decipher just what Trump meant. It is still not exactly clear. After the Homeland Security Department said green card holders would be banned, a Trump official told U.S. outlets that they could be approved on a “case-by-case basis” and would have to check in with a government official before leaving each time.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ministers had not commented directly on the order as of Saturday at 5 p.m. On Twitter, Trudeau posted photos of himself greeting Syrian refugees, adding the words “#WelcomeToCanada.”

“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada,” Trudeau wrote.
 
Sounds like the PM is a moron.

He is not unlike the majority of leaders. He is speaking to his base as much as Canadians who support immigration, of which I am in theory supportive of, as long as those coming are of like values and have skills to assist the country. We allowed 25,000 immigrants from Syria, but wisely they were mostly women and children.

There are many good citizens around the world who have assisted America and despise their systems so I am on the fence about his decision. Many who are fleeing ISIS and are good, hard working immigrants who don't pose a threat. Obviously the difficulty is knowing what is what, Trump has reason to believe certain countries do not produce those desirable to contribute to America's values. With so much terror coming from some nations, it makes it difficult to be confident in immigration from these areas.

Now, the situation that happened in Germany, that's absurd, you don't just willingly open your borders to everyone without knowing who is coming in or what their intentions are. That's a derelict of duty as far as I am concerned.

We have a whole lot of professional role playing types that would be an asset to Canada! ;)

Yeah. The problem is, they have been threatening to move to Canada for years lol. It's tough to remove them from their plush lifestyles for a cold, socialist existence in Canada.
 
Trump is emulating (look it up, schocked, it is not what you think) Jimmy Carter's bans.

Good on Trump. He would do well to study some of Jimmy's programs.

Also you knuckleheads on the far left can knock off the "muslim ban" shit: you sound like Edward Baiamonte, Conservative65, and the rest of the Alt Right bozos with your Alt Facts.
