The number of people affected by Trump’s travel ban: About 90,000
The number of people affected by Trump’s travel ban: About 90,000
And so this "professional" journalistic interest in truth gave Trump 4 Pinocchios.
So who is right?
“Only 109 people out of 325,000 were detained and held for questioning.”
— President Trump, tweet, Jan, 30, 2017
“Remember we’re talking about a universe of 109 people. There were 325,000 people that came into this country over a 24 hour period from another country. 109 of them were stopped for additional screening.”
— White House press secretary Sean Spicer, press briefing, Jan. 30, 2017
So this is where Trump came up with the number... actually detained travelers... 109!
So where did the Post come up with 90,000?????
The executive order means that visa holders will not be able to travel to the United States for at least 90 days. Or, if they are in the United States currently, they will not be able to leave and assume that they can return before the travel suspension ends.
According to State Department statistics, that’s how many people received either nonimmigrant or immigrant visas from the seven affected countries in fiscal year 2015.
Here’s the breakdown by country: 87,587
Total 72,162 nonimmigrant visas... 15,425 immigrant visas.
Iran: 35,363 nonimmigrant visas, 7,179 immigrant visas
Iraq: 13,499 nonimmigrant visas, 2,010 immigrant visas
Syria: 10,061 nonimmigrant visas, 1,901 immigrant visas
Sudan: 5,080 nonimmigrant visas, 1,642 immigrant visas
Yemen: 4,525 nonimmigrant visas, 3,143 immigrant visas
Libya: 3,303 nonimmigrant visa, 272 immigrant visas
Somalia: 331 nonimmigrant visas, 1,078 immigrant visas
Folks.... how many of these 87,587 have NOT traveled to the USA?
How many have actually traveled to the USA and have been detained?????
NO WHERE NEAR 87,587 ! But again this is the biased MSM attempts to mislead with headlines
and unless you read further.... you will see the Post admits..
"The universe of people likely affected by the travel suspension is around 90,000 — not 109."
"LIKELY affected" NOT AFFECTED....
Once again biased inaccurate data being circulated as FACTS!
FOLKS the MSM is snookering YOU! Lying to you!
Remember this chart folks... the MSM donated money to Hillary so do you think they can be honest?
