Following yesterday's statement from a Department of Homeland Security official that "[the order] will bar green card holders", it appears The White House has shifted its view. During an interview of NBC's "Meet The Press", White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus flip-flopped that "as far as green card holders moving forward, [the order] doesn't affect them."
As The Hill reports, White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Sunday said the president's executive order barring refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations does not affect green card holders.
"We didn't overrule the Department of Homeland Security, as far as green card holders moving forward, it doesn't affect them," Priebus said on NBC's "Meet The Press."
But Priebus noted if a person is traveling back and forth to one of the seven countries included in that order, that person is likely to be "subjected temporarily with more questioning until a better program is put in place."
"We don't want people that are traveling back and forth to one of these seven countries that harbor terrorists to be traveling freely back and forth between the United States and those countries," he said.
When pressed further on whether the order impacts green card holders, though, Priebus appeared to reverse himself, saying, "Well, of course it does."
"If you're traveling back and forth, you're going to be subjected to further screening," he said.
Furthermore, Priebus also said more countries could be added to the list already included in the president's executive order.
"Perhaps other countries needed to be added to an executive order going forward," he said.
"But in order to do this in a way that was expeditious, in a way that would pass muster quickly, we used the 7 countries that have already been codified and identified."
As we noted yesterday, of the seven countries that are on the banned list, we note that the United States is actvely bombing five of them.
Flip-flops?
More like CLARIFIES.
Jesus tits - this issue has had more spin than warehouse of Maytags on full cycle.

LOL.
Does it mean another Executive Order to undo the Previous Executive Order?
What a disaster
Yes, but how does this affect the 'kosher pickle smoochers'?
The ONLY thing that matters, are those 'chosen' by God himself.
Oy vey...
maybe he didn't include saudi arabia because he is a genius. couldn't do it on the first go, but if enough people raise their voice about that exclusion, he will be like, what do you think folks, should I include SA? Ok, done!
Yes, those "Chosen Ones on Camels" are definitely important...oy gevalt.
How could I forget?
What would the world do, without our grift?
A flip flop from Trump? Who would have thought that was possible...?
Oy vey, we saw it coming; oh, sure...
Just like you can tell when a yenta is on her period...she only wears one sock.
Perhaps the US should start bombing California and keep them confined to their borders.
Are there any asylum seekers from KSA in the US or in the pipeline?
Stop quoting your Mom's outburst upon seeing your bedroom.
No, stuff happens. Miscommunication, etc. Not a big deal. It's straightened out. You can't expect one person to be an expert in every field.
Yes your boy barry did leave quite the mess.
"Yeah what a disaster."
Chattanooga TN - 5 dead.
San Bernardino, CA - 14 dead
Orlando FL - 49 dead.
Ft Lauderdale FL - 5 dead.
Havent learned anything since 9/11.
Actually that gag is pretty much universal, I give you a point for good humor on this ...
Enjoy your beatings !
An easing of regulations does not equivilate to "flip flop" = He did not recind his order.... you plebes are total douches.
as far as green card holders moving forward, [the order] doesn't affect them."
yet
Why isn't Saudi in the group, weren't they the hijackers on 9/11?
Maybe the Tweeter-in-Chief could clarify in a series of misspelled sentence fragments.
The Trump Clown Car ride is now fully active. Don't mention the Saudis, their rulers are heavy investors in Trump's building projects.
The seven countries listed were already defined by the Obama administration as principle threats, which is WHY Trump used them in his EO of his FIRST WEEK in office. This is part of his campaign agenda and using Obama policy was the fastest way to get it started. You can also bet that there are PLENTY of government employees who will do their best to make ANY such policy an embarrassment.
It's uphill, ALL THE WAY.
This might be a good time for Kellyanne Conway ("The Closer") to come out and explain what you just said. And also make it clear that planes carrying passengers described in the travel ban are subject to forfeiture.

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ROFCLOPTERSAURUS.
Just when you think the ZHtards can't get any dumber, they manage to astound you. Go back and reread what you wrote ...
Get a hold of yourself buddy, it's not that funny. Scroll down to Everyman's comment and you will learn that airlines do have a legal responsibility in this matter, but it appears they have gotten the message that they'd better not behave belligerently.
Just when I thought you couldn't embarrass yourself further, you prove me wrong.

(f)Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.
Standard Disclaimer: How long do you think those planes will keep flying when hit with a million dollar a day fee? 10M? 100M?
Or do the words "any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." still fail to register within that pea-sized brain of yours.
If a clown,,, Better the clown than the Moron 'we came, we saw, he died'.
And who was the major 'contributor' to the Clinton Foundation? Yep,,, Saudi Arabia.
Talk about hypocrisy!
But, its OK to be a corrupt cuntish douche bag when you're a card carrying member of the Lefttard Dimocraps.
maybe b/c they weren't? Trump builds skyscrapers..
just saying
you think heads are exploding now? Wait until Trump starts dragging the 9-11 cockroaches into the light..
And why is Iran ON the list? I can't remember one act of Iranian terror on US soil.
Those Persians. Apparently this goes way back and we're backing the Greeks on this one.
Well silly, because they are our allies ..
/sarc
Should've thoroughly vetted the executive order
I declare "flip-flops" hackneyed and overused, it needs to be retired.
No border no country.
That's what they want.
No borders and no countries.
Just a global Military Dictatorship of Proletariat run by the 4th Internationalists.
Trump banned 7 countries who produced not a single terrorist attack on US soil, but Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Russian, Indian and Israeli Muslims are not in the list, such are uselessness. What about US jail system, it seems to produce more Muslims than the immigration. Even USA army produced more terrorists than the 7 countries.
I came here to accuse you of being full of shit but the first few were somalia, afghanistan, pakistan. not going to dig deeper because the conclusion is obvious - we just need a full blown muslim ban.
This is already a PR fight.
Where the Trump admin is clumsy, inexperience and naive is in thinking that every move they will make will NOT be used as an opportunity to assassinate them politically and in PR terms.
The fight happens mainly in the media, for voters minds anyway.
Trump admin should learn this. Fast.
P.S. The decision was just fucking stupid. Non-muslim, non-refugee PhDs who've been working for US tech/aerospace/finance/medical industry were left stranded. I'm not sure that Bubba from Alabama or Joe from Flint would get those jobs, even if Trump kicked out every single foreign PhD working in the US. Also, Silicon Valley would totally tank, if that happened. It was just a stupid move. Stupid.
I think what you're missing here, along with many others, is that this administration DOES NOT CARE what the MSM thinks. They can fabricate all the protests and memes they want, the administration will just shrug and say "whatever".
W said he "had a mandate", then did half-steps. Obama said he "had a mandate" , then didn't do any of it (close Gitmo, close black sites, end the middle east wars (hell, he more than doubled the middle east entanglements!)), Trump isn't even bothering to say he has a mandate, he's just proceeding as if it's a given.
So go ahead and rage MSM and associated protesters, but I doubt it'll do you any good.
The only way for him to avoid that from occuring would be to turn over the office to them and not make any decision they have not given approval to.
The effectiveness of their PR using the msm and their protest events will lessen if Trump ignores them and makes moves quickly and moves on. They will have difficulty getting attention over last months news - Unless they get more destructive or violent.
It is hard to explain a vetting process to someone who never saw one in their lifetime. It is just common sense that we can not be at war with terrorism in the entire world and still let just anyone into the country. I don't see the flip flop angle either.
Yeah, it is not a flip flop. It business background administration that is implementing ideas quickly and making changes and adjustments on the fly. That is important to improve things yet get things done.
Fucking Trump fools.
So...you really....REALLY believed a marketer of a name ( Trump's name ) to NOT be a liar once becoming a politician.
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!! LOL !!! LULZ !!!! WWOOOooooo HOOOOooooo !!!
Fools.
The Soros Stooges are out working hard today. Fuck Off Ass Holes
They all should be investigated thoroughly no matter what....
True, guess which immigration document is now going to be the most frodulently produced document inhistory?
THE GREEN CARD!
Need to enforce the felony charge and prison senc=tence for thos HOLDING and thos PRODUCING a fake document. All are felonies under immigration, DHS, and D/Border/ICE.
Yeah, especially birth certificates. Joe Arpaio has a case ready to do,
Yes Kenya should be added to the list.
The dbag left will still find a way to throw a hissy fit
Hey maybe if we stoppped bombing them they might evolve/reform to a less violent form of Islam. I guess we will never know.
