Trump defends his controversial 'Muslim ban' on Twitter

Donald Trump has reiterated his belief that America needs to strengthen its borders - just hours after thousands protested (right) against his controversial immigration executive order. The president fired up his Twitter account on Sunday morning and wrote (inset): 'Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!' The comment came after Homeland Security said a temporary stay granted by a federal court on Friday will not stop Trump's immigration ban from being put in place. 'President Trump's Executive Orders remain in place— prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the US government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety,' a statement read. On Saturday night, the federal court for the Eastern District of New York issued the stay Saturday evening after only two of 12 refugees held at JFK airport were released. They had been held for 14 and 24 hours respectively. Migrants around the country were detained, with about 375 travelers impacted by the order. But just as Trump was tweeting, senior White House official Reince Priebus revealed on NBC’s Meet the Press that a big change has been made for permanent residents. 'As far as green card holders, moving forward, it doesn’t affect them,' Priebus, Trump's Chief of Staff, said.

PIERS MORGAN on Trump's immigration ban

This is wrong, writes PIERS MORGAN (pictured inset). Whichever way President Trump (main) tries to justify his executive order on banning immigrants and refugees from seven war-ravaged countries, it makes no sense. The facts, alternate or otherwise, speak for themselves: Nobody from any of those predominantly Muslim countries – Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen - has committed a terror attack on US mainland. Since Donald Trump’s inauguration nine days ago, more than 750 people have been killed by guns in America, through murder, accident and suicide. This is the horrific daily toll on American life from firearms. Today, another 85 people will be shot dead. And the same tomorrow. The situation is so appalling that in 2016, more Americans were killed by TODDLERS with guns than by terrorists. Yet there has been no executive order to try to stop this carnage, and nor is there likely to be.

KATIE HOPKINS: Trump's immigration crackdown sends message

Donald Trump’s 90-day ban on seven Muslim countries is in place to achieve one thing and one thing only: he wants you to understand America has borders, and from now on it’s going to protect them. President Trump said, 'We only want to admit those who will support our country and love deeply our people.' Think of it less as a Muslim ban, and more as an American invitation. If you support America and will put America first, you will be welcome. If you cannot bring yourself to condone the actions of those who commit terror in the name of your god, probably best stay in what's left of your home.
