President Donald Trump promised during his campaign he would get tough on terrorists and that is what he is doing. Even amid push back from liberals and different human rights organizations, Trump is standing his ground.
He has been turning to Twitter to get his point across as well.He tweeted:
Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!

…Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III.

Statement Regarding Recent Executive Order Concerning Extreme Vetting: https://t.co/f6JO60I0Ul

There is nothing nice about searching for terrorists before they can enter our country. This was a big part of my campaign. Study the world!

Trump’s statement regarding the executive order on extreme vetting on Facebook is as follows:
America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave.
We will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting.
This is not about religion – this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days.
I have tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.
