President Donald Trump said Friday that his administrations travel ban should be far larger, tougher and more specific than it is, seemingly blaming political correctness for a watered-down version of his original executive action.
The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct! Trump tweeted Friday.
The Supreme Court this week allowed the Trump administration to maintain its ban on refugees. The justices ruled in favor of the administration on Tuesday, blocking a lower court ruling that would have moderated the ban and allowed up to 24,000 refugees to enter the U.S. before the end of October.
The high court, however, will hear arguments on the legality of the administrations ban on travelers from six Muslim-majority countries and refugees anywhere in the world on Oct. 10.
