![]() Obama 'fundamentally disagrees' with Trump's immigration order
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/30/politics/obama-donald-trump-travel-ban-statement/ (CNN)-Former President Barack Obama criticized President Donald Trump's executive order curbing immigration in a statement on Monday, backing protesters who have taken to the nation's airports to express their displeasure with Trump's action on Friday. "The President fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion," said Kevin Lewis, spokesman for the former president, in a statement. |

![]() Trump targets tech's H-1B visa hiring tool
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2017/01/30/trump-targets-techs-h1b-visa-hiring-tool/97240588/ Administration officials have drafted a new executive order aimed at overhauling, among other things, the H-1B work-visa program that technology companies have long relied on to bring top foreign engineering talent to their U.S.-based locations. In his news briefing Monday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the possible executive order on work visas "is part of a larger immigration effort" and stems from "an overall need to look at all of these measures." That ban, which the White House modified Sunday to not affect green card holders, roiled tech leaders who almost universally denounced the move. |

According to the "process" is people get vetted then released as they enter the country? Now you think they are not supposed to detain legal residents for hours?
