Trump's future immigration policies- speculation MEGATHREAD

[My wife my hope 7]

To those who are wondering if Egypt is gonna be on the ban list! There is no way it can happen like that! 1st Egypt-US relations are more solid than it was under Obama's administration especially in matters of national security and counter terrorism! 2nd Trump has a very good relation with the Egyptian president Al Sisi, the 1st call Trump received after elections wining was from him, Trump called  Al Sisi in December to ask for Egypt's cooperation to postpone a decision at the international security council and so Al Sisi cooperated, Trump called again a few days earlier and arranged for a visit to Al Sisi to te white house this year. So both regimes are having a very good relation, the Egyptian nationals will not be banned totally especially there are tens of thousands of Egyptian chritians who travel to the US every year to visit their relatives there! There's no way they can be banned or having any exceptions if Trump is gonna include Egypt in the ban list as it's unconstitutional to ban some specific race or religion even by a presidential executive order, he's only allowed to ban people from certain nationalities, however the only stage you should worry about is the embassy stage as Trump is planning for what's called extreme vetting and it can be applied to selective applicants based on their religion without exposing this to the media, making it a semi official policy at all US consular missions abroad at MENA countries by giving instructions to the heads of visa section there to put Muslims under administrative processing (the famous black hole) and there's no timeframe for this, we hope that the tight relations between Egypt and te US will make the US embassy in Cairo take it easy on us as they'll have no hard time gathering all the information needed about the applicants from the Egyptian authorities especially in matters of security. Fingers crossed!!!!

My wife's sister and her German husband just had to cancel their February trip to the USA. There are also reports (here is that juicy speculation! ) that greencard holders are being denied reentry. I speculate it could be a very uncomfortable time for my dear wife who is in country but has not received her green card...

Greencard-holders from the 7 banned Muslim-Majority countries are being denied entry - i can't believe this is happening

I had plans to travel this year but with the latest news about GC holders being denied entry to the U.S.  by CBP, I'll just wait until I get US citizenship (hopefully later this year). This whole 'extreme vetting' is bonkers!

Oh my God, I really hope he will not touch LGBT people. :((

Highly doubtful Philippines nationals would be affected. 

[Scandi 3,970]

This might also affect greencard holders who have already been outside the US for quite some time each year, I think you have to be present in the US for a certain amount of time to be able to qualify for citizenship when that day comes? So if they are forced to stay outside the US now for 90 days or more they might not be eligable for citizenship at this time or might miss the ROC window and so on?

why, are you a same-sex couple? Trump's instructions for 'extreme vetting' allegedly includes vetting Muslim immigrants whether they share America's values regarding LGBT people, so it seems to me that he considers LGBT rights as an American value.

Trump considers LGBT rights as an American value that is protected. That's why extreme vetting for Muslim immigrants in particular allegedly includes asking them what their attitudes are regarding LGBTs. In other words, you shouldn't worry much because Trump himself is an LGBT rights supporter (for the most part).
