Leftist journalists are crying on twitter over the prospect refujihadists like Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who went on a stabbing spree two months ago at Ohio State University, will no longer be allowed into our country to plot terror attacks, terrorize our neighborhoods and collect welfare.

Such a prospect, as liberal clickbait sites like Vox would say, is "literally terrifying."

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to temporarily halt the importation of phony "refugees" from seven war-torn Middle Eastern countries. Even though it's rather tame and doesn't go nearly far enough, astroturfed protests were organized in several American cities and the lying media is going hysterical.

Incidentally, when President Obama in 2011 stopped processing Iraqi refugees for six months in a similar manner, the lying media didn't even bat an eyelid.

The Daily Caller compiled a nice list of liberal journalist tears:

As a refugee, as an immigrant, as someone whose family is Muslim, I am profoundly sad for our country.

@igorbobic As a gay man, I feel the same way.

The travel ban is stupid. But it still leaves over 80 percent of Muslims (1 billion +) eligible to arrive here tomorrow.

This confirms it. It was a Muslim ban all along. “Extreme vetting” was just dressing it up. https://t.co/S5YhnIRwsx pic.twitter.com/0sVb0Fi8Te

Trump order begins by invoking 9/11 three times

9/11 hijackers were from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE & Lebanon

None of those countries banned pic.twitter.com/WaRyiBZ1S0

Policy merits aside, instituting even a partial ban on refugees on the day when GOP celebratea its “pro-life” bona fides…is curious.

Trump’s NSC chief’s son declares exactly what this is: A “Muslim ban,” whatever weasel words his dad and Trump’s minions come up with. https://t.co/ncdkXKGVSk

Noted for history: A Trump administration executive order banned refugees from entering the United States on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

For 70 years and more, American science has triumphed because the USA got the best minds in the world. Now that’s at risk. Thanks, Trump.

I favor serious vetting. Immigrants+visitors need to be asked about jihadism & extremism. Banning on the basis of nationality is just dumb.

1. Last night, I found myself in tears at the news. I do not recognize the America that welcomed my family so many years ago. #IAmARefugee

Normally when you roll out policies that affect millions of people, you hold briefings to explain them.

So how does Trump respond to this pic.twitter.com/GQ6WUHLCiw
