Congresswoman warns Trump’s immigration ban may extend to the Caribbean

Clarke warns the ban may extend to the Caribbean

Caribbean American Congresswoman Yvette D Clarke has warned that US President Donald Trump’s executive order barring entry to the US for the predominantly Muslims nationals of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen may extend to the Caribbean.

“I am concerned that he could expand that if we don’t organize and push back now,” Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, told an emergency meeting of the Muslim community in her Brooklyn district on Sunday night.

“We know that in the Caribbean region there is a very healthy Muslim population from Guyana, to Trinidad, to Jamaica across the board; and so, we have to make sure we come together,” added the representative for the predominantly Caribbean 9thCongressional District in Brooklyn.

    You as a representative of the people should be ashamed, but you are a politician, so I know you have no conscience.
    You are calling on the Caribbean people to unite and push back. Where were you when the same Caribbean people needed someone to unite with them, and call up Obama and the Demacratic party, to fulfill all the immigration promises he and his party made to them even before he became president?
    Now you are willing to prostitute your people, like a common no good PIMP, to fight a fight that is not theirs. Go back to where ever you have been the past 8 years. The caribbean people do not need you now, and when they did, you were no where to be found.

    President Carter band Iranians from entering the U.S. Even Iranian students studying here were also deported.But there was no cry. no demonstration Y? because he is a democrat.Obama in 2011 put a 6 months band on all refugees from Iraq entering the U.S..Of course prince Obama was not targeting them because they were Muslims. again no blocking airports no demonstrations.Do u know Why? Because he is democrat.In 2013 the FBI voiced their concern over these 7 nations and Obama agreed with them.So in 2015 the same democrats who are now shouting the sky is falling, voted on a bill to watch these 7 nations very closely, which Obama signed,
    Now Trump during the campaign made it clear, we must be careful of these refugees, because ISIS said “We will send our mercenaries among the refugees to kill you the infidels”,so Trump said let us take 3 months and double cross the people coming from these 7 nations which Obama have selected. So those demonstrating.? Plain politics, period.

    Hello and good morning my people. Well Miss Clarke you stood silent while we are being displaced by White people moving into Crown Heights, Flatbush and they even created Prospect Lefferts Garden but you said nothing. Many of our people can’t afford the rent for the apartment much less for the rent in the newly constructed buildings. America is waging a war against Islam but they not doing anything about Saudi Arabia who finance the attack on the World Trade Center and support Wahabi Sunni radicals rather they are restricting seven Shai countries. We in the Caribbean support Demacracy and we don’t allow Religion to dominate our lives so we don’t have to worry about Donald Trump the Chaos president. He tell some many lies it’s difficult to fact check his lies. Any way Miss Clarke you born in Brooklyn and your mother Una Clarke is from Jamaica and you think you have a right to represent us. If I was into politics I would run against you.

    Who cares about America, a visiting visa do not allow you to live and work, it is very expensive and when you do travel there your life is constantly at risk, not from the people of the countries trump ban but from the born and bred AMERICANS!!!!

    • January 31, 2017

      Joe, as an American who lives and travels all over the country, your pretty ill-informed. Maybe your travels only take you to the drug infested inner cities run by left-wing nut democrats who would rather give away free everything at the detriment of hard work,make sure hardworking citizens who live in those communities can not own a gun to protect themselves from the thugs, support 70+ percent of children born out of wedlock, support abortion on demand which further devalues life, support copy killing drug dealers who bum rush police officers, and are generally lock, step and barrel with anarchist, but the rest of real America is perfectly safe.

    People do not be fooled and do your research. The travel ban is on countries that have links to terrorism, a list that was created by Mr Obama’s administration. The media is trying to twist this as much as possible to cause more hysteria and uninformed people all over are picking up on their lies without doing their own research.

    The list is more likely to be extended to include Saudi Arabia and Pakistan than it would the Caribbean countries.

    • Mamosa
      January 31, 2017

      All or most of the “terorists” associated with 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia, why are they not on this list? Because my friend, the President is conducting business there.

      You will never see Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia on any banned list.

      • January 31, 2017

        Because they were trained in Afagastan. The Saudi family has been at war with them internally because the ruling class has quietly supported Wahabism to subdue the masses, but recently those mullah’s have turned on the royal family. So its a little bit more complicated than CNN or other left wing news organizations would like you to believe.

      January 31, 2017

      Dante, unfortunately you are wrong. Many of our passports under the CBI programme go to persons, who are citizens of countries that are banned by the U.S.A., especially Syria and Iran
      that will throw a lot of suspicion on them when they turn up with a Dominican passport and automatically everybody coming with one of our passports will be under suspicion. Some people make the money, some of whom have second passports but it are the innocent, Dominican born ones that will feel the pain most. You will see.
      PS. Do you know that if you want to visit the United Arab emirates with a Dominican passport you need a visa? Ironic, isn’t it.

    Woman, stop talking rubbish. This is a temporary ban (90 days) to evaluate the refugee program. Did you know that the Obama Administration also placed travel ban/restrictions on these same countries? where were you then. is the Caribbean a hot bed for terrorists? NO!!! at least not at the moment.

    Be responsible and educate yourself before you speak

    She is calling on Caribbean people to join her.Let me quote her own words.
    “I am concerned that he could expand that if we don’t come together organized and push back.”
    and”We have to make sure we come together.”
    She reminds me of Obama who came to Chicago and organized the blacks.They voted for him to be a senator ,he became president and abandoned them.To prove my point, last year there were 762 killings in Chicago under the presidency of Obama and almost all were blacks.This black politician don,t care.
    Dominica suffered heavy damage by storm erika couldn’t she used her influence and asked Obama a little help for us? Again she don’t care.Now she is afraid 4 the coming 2018 elections. She is calling on us to organize.
    The muslims in their countries killing anyone who don’t belong to their religion, whether Catholic, Baptist Wesleyan they murdering them and burn their churches.Even in the U.S killings by Muslims San Bernadino,Orlando,Fort hood etc,Y didn’t they…

    I am not amazed. President Trump made insinuations during his campaign.
    Obama should have done so since 9/11. Note how many terrorists acts since then. They now go world-wide; recently in Mexico.
    President Trump did not mention Guyana and T & T. He knows where the majority of terrorists are from.
    Hey! D/ca is also exempt. Rejoice! :lol: Therefore, do not be concerned.
    Fellow D/cans, think of what occurred to two Dominicans in 9/11. Maybe you should ask their families how they feel about what President Trump said.
    President Trump did not mean that those who are American and Canadian born or those who are naturalized citizens will be prevented from traveling and returning to the US. He did not make this clear. Now this is clearer for also the worldwide airlines.
    At the weekend, a terrorist murdered six people and some injured at a Mosque in Quebec City. I heard the terrorist is from Morocco. Last year someone left a pig’s head on the steps of this Mosque.

    While there are minor errors in the President’s action,but the move is 4 the citizens safety.Also let us not forget Obama had imposed a temporary ban on Iraqi’s entering the U.S. 2011.
    One thing with Trump so far he is keeping his promise.Unlike Obama,in 2008 he promised 2 give green cards to those who are here illegally in his first yr.in office.The voters gave the Democrats the senate,the house and the presidency.For 2 long yrs.he could fulfill this promise,but no.After losing the house he started talking about immigration, and 23 times he told everyone he cannot do what Clarke called “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.” That is under aged children brought to the U.S by their mother or father and are now here illegally.Yet Obama did exactly what he told us he has no power to do, Clarke did not say the courts stopped Obama.
    After his victory, Trump have said over and over he will deport criminals, build the wall and those who are illegal here he will take care of them

  13. January 30, 2017

    Not a ban on Muslims. This is the NYT and other left wing organizations trying to stir the pot. The majority of American’s support. BTW, the Saudis who committed 9-11 came from training camps in Afgan. There have been less than 150 people stopped. Multiple presidents have done this. It is a 120 day pause because the Obama administration could not confirm their procedures. Additionally, over 95% of “refugees” coming from these countries were Muslims. However, there are Christian populations in those countries who were kicked out or killed in the refugee camps where the UN and US process refugees. The fact is that Europe is now ripe with terrorists due to their open borders. Here is my question for all of you Trump and common sense haters, if this ban is so bad, please travel to the banned countries and provide aid and comfort to those poor folks that have to wait 120 days. And this Congresswomen is an idiot. We need to ban stupid politicians but then we would have no government.

  14. I do not like Trump, but I believe this lady is doing nothing with her fifteen minutes of fame except pushing the panic button! For more than a year I watched and listen to Donald Trump campaigning, never once I heard him mentioned “the Caribbean.”

    Nothing is impossible, but I doubt anybody in the Caribbean should worry about Trump focusing on the Caribbean right now. Now as for the Muslim population she is referring to in the Caribbean, those are not indigenous Muslims, they are want to be Muslims.

    My oldest daughter born on the island of Antigua, claimed she is a Muslim and live under the name Mohammad, I ask here how come her name is Mohammad, and not Mohammed, she told me “daddy,we are different to the Middle Eastern Muslims.” I was talking to here in the days when Muslims in Somalia were killing anybody who they thought was not Muslims, I ask her if that what they are about, she told me that’s their tradition, not American Black Muslims those from Guyana to Jamaica…

That is the same people that cutting off other people head on TV. That will scare anyone, including Donald Chump. I am not a Trumpet and I am worried because our little Caribbean is burning too many bridges.

    i think a visa should be a two way deal. if a country have visa on us we should have on them. if they allow us to enter without visa we should allow them to enter without visa as well.

    all countries should place visa on the usa until they remove it for other countries. teach america a lesson.

    and i think that trump should be taken to rehab for a psychiatric evaluation. or to an exorsist to remove the demons of his past.

    if this guy is not impeached, i think the third world war will start this year and he will be dead. his reign there is not for long. i pray god protect the americans in this peril that is near, and help trump to find much needed help and turn to him before it is too late.

    This is one stupid woman. The very Muslims she holds so dear worship the Koran. Their god is Allah who has nothing to do with Jesus Christ, but is Satan.

    Here are some choice excerpts from the Koran:-

    Quran, Sura 65:1, 4 – men are allowed to marry children. In fact the ‘prophet’ Muhammed married a 6 year old child. Even today, Muslims are allowed to and do marry children who they sexually abuse.
    Quran, Sura 2.223 – a man may freely rape his wife and beat her if she refuses him sex.
    Quran, Sura 2:228/ 2:282 – men shall prevail over women
    Quran, Sura 4:3 – a man may have up to 4 wives.
    Quran, (2:191-193) – non-believers can be tortured and killed. Muslims doing so will be rewarded in heaven with virgins,etc.

    These are just some of the milder things that Muslims hold dear which resulted in Muslim ‘refugees’ raping hundreds of women on Cologne, Germany last year.

    DNO readers, there are several reasons why I cannot stomach these Democrats, and this article is a good example,Madam Clarke why can’t you tell us the truth,? Surely we can handle the truth.
    Let me correct a few lies.(1)Trump DID NOT signed any executive order to withhold funding from cities that protect LAW ABIDING immigrants.It is CRIMINALS who are here ILLEGALLY and the mayors of these cities (democrats) on TV said “We will not give them up to the authorities to be deported.
    (2) She talked about a vicious attack the president have unleashed on families across the U.S.
    Clarke you are the vicious one with these lies.Trump during the campaign, promised to keep RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS out of the U.S. Clarke not Grenadians,Dominicans not any one from the Caribbean who want to come here to better their lives.This extreme vetting is on 7 countries the Obama administration selected, not because they are Muslims, but Obama believed they are breeding grounds for terrorists

        Hey Rasta,

        God bless them indeed, especially those who listen very carefully for EVIDENCE and wait before jumping on the band wagon to ensure that the newest industry which is also plaguing America, that is, “fake news” is clearly distinguished from factual occurrences.

        Once that EVIDENCE is established, the wise Dominicans will have no hesitation in denouncing the alleged wrong-doing reported if it proves to be factual.

        Do you know that a regular pizza business somewhere in America was accused through a news item that went viral, of harbouring and executing a child sex ring with the consent and involvement of the Clintons to the extent that a guy went there armed to the teeth determined to shoot them up?

        Would you believe that no such thing was happening? Lucky for the owner the local people who frequented the place shot the story to pieces and investigations concluded that it was fake news?

        We should be wise to that too! Desperation creates desperate acts!

    • Cyril, you are either living out of reality or on another planet; you lack understanding, you seems to exist in a delusional state of mind, or perhaps you are so dumb you are farting nonsense from your mouth, and have no idea you are doing so!

    Madam congresswoman, let not your hear be troubled about Iranian Muslimand other Muslims trying to enter the US. In fact that is very good news for our passport factory and employees, as we have a reputation of manufatoring passports and diplomatic passports, at a very affordable price. We have some very good and reputable staff, some of which are lawyers, politicians, law enforcement officer, pastors, priests, and yes, even some that love West Indies cricket board. Our office is located in the Morne Daniel area, though sometimes we may move to Savanne Pile, off course because of our many politicians population within the area, nice villas for ur convinience, and some real dynamic and annoited preachers some of whom will even teach you how to catch crab and become a millionaire. So if Trump cancels your passport just call us and we will manufacture a passport to meet ur needs. In fact if your Dominica passport isin question, we will simply photo stamp cancelled on it

        Is everybody who is not a mental health professional is a quack :? Why should that make me a quack? I am a minister and a certified pastoral counselor. I have to stay within my boundaries.
        I can say somebody should be evaluated by a professional. I cannot say that person has this or that mental illness. That would be a diagnosis.

      • January 31, 2017

        You say God gives people the government they desire.

        Yes! This is how it works in a democracy! The people choose and God appoints the elected candidates to rule over them.

        Ungodly people will choose an ungodly government. An ungodly government will sanction
        evil things. Eventually this will produce an ungodly nation. The time may come when God will
        punish that nation or even destroy it.

        What God did to Sodom and Gomorrah is a warning. The Bible clearly says it is for an example in Jude vs. 7.

        This is why I preach as elections draw near that my listeners should be careful who they vote for.
        I cannot tell them who to vote for. But I encourage them to vote for the candidate who holds Biblical values and will stand for righteousness.

        give it to them … I totally agree with you. And thank you! I must read my Bible even more carefully. Good advice indeed!

      Keep in mind President Trump is an American. As a civilian then, he was one of those who was dead set against what occurred to the US on 9/11 and other terrorists actions in the US which killed numerous people and innocent ones at that.
      Do not expect the family of those victims to be against Trump including some other nationals in every country.
      Most of the terrorists acts were done by Muslims and some home-grown ones.
      Some of them in Canada went to fight in Syria and Afghanistan with ISIS, the Talibans and Al Qaeda.
      Unfortunately, you know the saying, Peter pays for Paul. All pay for the few- the majority pay for the minority. They were a few,a minority too many.
      When some Jamaicans committed crimes in Toronto or elsewhere in Canada, the cry was (and could still be), “Send them all home.” It did not occur to those criers that all West Indians in Canada/Toronto are not Jamaicans and not all Jamaicans are criminals.

      I have been saying from day one during his campaign that this man Trump, needs psychiatric evauation. I have been saying he is a mad man (seriously!) It shows, he look and sound very much so. Time will tell! Hitler was a madman!

    • January 31, 2017

      Sure, but given that he pays off doctors to say ridiculously flattering things about him, it probably wouldn’t help: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2016/08/bornstein-trump-linguistics/497840/

      Anyway, I think everyone who voted for him should be forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. I weep for the country of my birth.

        Also anyone who voted for Obama who, a) has a proven fake birth certificate, b) is of the muslim faith, c) changed his name to from Soetoro to Obama when presenting no evidence to anyone of the legality of so doing; d) has a fake SSN,

        must also be considered totally insane.

        Don’t you agree Steve? Do you not further cry for your country?

    • Mr. Hill Trump will do plenty of damage before it is all over. He fired the acting attorney general, because she refused to break the law, and uphold has ban on Muslims entering the United States. Trump will eventually be impeached. That man is mentally ill!

      But that’s who America wanted, some of those people you see demonstrating, some of them voted for that clown, now they seeing the true nature of the beast they are angry. Let’s take the affordable car act: “Obama Care” he singed an executive order to repeal it.

      Its a know fact if it is repealed there are four states which he won, the people will suffer the most, they will all loose their insurance. And haven’t you heard there is panic in the Republican camp, while they are talking repeal, the have nothing to replace it with. Trump is simply a comic. He said John McCane will cause world war III, but Trump is going to be the cause of World III.

    Just in case you are not aware, the 7 countries who have bans on visas are SYRIA, IRAQ, IRAN, YEMEN, SUDAN, LIBYA and SOMALIA. These are the countries with a reputed history of terrorist attacks. (Most of the sexxxy terrorist who were responsible for 911 were Saudis, but the president have excused Saudi Arabia from the ban.)

      They may have originated from Syria and/or other countries. These people travel all over, from one Muslim country to another. It appears they do so with no hindrance.

        The Truth Be Told. You said these people travel all over, from one Muslim country to another. According to your elected officials, they also travel to non Muslim countries like Dominica, and also live there. Terrorism comes in different forms.

      And this list was created by OBAMA’s administration. They conveniently leave out that part everytime

    • When we chose to talk and make statements we must try to be accurate. Your claim is not altogether true.

      The terrorists who took down the world trade center and attack the Pentagon on 911; not one of them came from any of the countries that Trump is preventing immigration! Trump is simply trying to fulfil a promises, and so he is picking on the weaker nations in the Middle East.

      While people from the countries who attack America, are still privilege to immigrate into the United States. Notice that the nations he is preventing from migrating, there are no Trump Towers built in those countries! But, where the culprits came from he has investments in those countries.

    Oh trust me, if Trump puts a ban on certain countries in the Caribbean it wouldn’t be because of of our native muslim population. We have something called a mail order passport industry, a magnet for crooks and terrorists.

    What percentage of the Caribbean is muslim? I am not an American voter neither am I a supporter of having an ex-stripper in the white house serving as first lady. I strive to speak with honesty not because I am not happy with the president elect and his immigration strategies but what the President is doing is NOT a Muslim ban, since it doesn’t include Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. It’s actually a ban on people who want to visit the United States from countries that have a difference of opinion with America even though the US is now an ally of Iraq. This is a xenophobic attitude with the potential to escalate in seriousness to what xenophobia can bring about as the case with south Africa . We in the Caribbean have nothing to worry about…yet. We in the Caribbean still can get our visas, our greencards are not being revoked. keep calm and stay focus.

      I read Obama and Michelle were no angels. Likewise the husband of Hilary. Did you know what he did in the Oval Office with Monica Lewinsky? A hearing took place which the entire world was able to watch on CNN. He was lucky he was not impeached. I did feel sorry for him that he was humiliated which was obviously embarrassing for him and Hilary. I did not foresee him again in the White House.
      No one is perfect. God forgives, if they ask forgiveness with a humble and contrite heart.
      The world needs good men and women. The youths of today are the future adults. They must study and live decent lives so that, hopefully, they will hold responsible positions, as politicians.
      The way the world is going, do not be surprised that one day the US will have a homosexual/lesbian couple as President.
      Ontario has a lesbian Premier which the Media of all appear to be proud of. She has a live-in girlfriend-wife. She is the man. As a Christian, I did not vote for that Party.

        The world is sinking deeper in immorality and becoming more violent. Nations are choosing leaders who reject God and His word. Vices that once were illegal and discussed only in hushed tones are being decriminalized, taught in the schools, and portrayed on the big screens for the world to see.

        Yes it may be that we will see big nations ruled by sodomites, lesbians, and transsexuals just as some are now are led by fornicators and adulterers.

        But the Lord Jesus is coming to take His own. A shout will be heard, … a voice will call, … and a trumpet will sound. We will be gone :!: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.

        I encourage you to call upon Him now while there is still time. Acknowledge your sins, and trust what He did for you on the cross to save you. Isaiah 53:4-6, and Romans 5:6-9. BELIEVE it,
        and RECEIVE Him as your Savior. John 1:12.

        There is no other way to escape the coming wrath.

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.

      Countries do not have differences of opinion, individuals do. This is a ban on exactly the wrong people — the ones trying to flee the madness of those countries’ regimes. It’s as stupid as FDR banning Jews in the 1930’s because they were from Germany.

    Fear mongering!!!! There are certainly more than 7 Muslim countries. Caribbean Muslims never pose threat and there are millions of Muslims already living in the US with mosques all over the place.

      There are some Mosques all over Canada. In the Mosques some of them plan their terrorist acts.
      Some Trinidadian Muslims went to Syria to fight with ISIS. I believe the money they would be paid lured them.

      You are wrong my boy. you only have to read the Trinidad & Tobago Express about home grown islamic terrorism. They even arrested some of these people from Trinidad in Venezuela. And muslims from T&T went to fight for ISIS in Syria also. I did not make up such a story. Go and read Shaka, please.

Meanwhile we still in the old brainwash they gave us still fighting it. WE WOULD BE FOOLS! to adopt this policy in the Caribbean. to hell with America, Trump, and if this lady believes dem assness will fly amongst rational thinking people then she can kick boulders too.

    • January 30, 2017

      Based on your totally incoherent post, you must be using a lot of the green gold. And if you don’t like America, please don’t take any more products, money or support. And please have all of your relatives living in the US to come back to Dominica to help grow the economy. Never mind, your too stoned to read.

      The same could be said about Canada.
      The problem is they were not interested in assimilating. They preferred living on their Reserve. They observed what was occurring right under their noses and did nothing, at least educating themselves. The older ones especially were too set in their customs. This is why most of them are the way they are. They only have themselves to blame.
      If you look back to the Caribs in Dominica, it was a similar situation. There are still some who think only of their custom and will not assimilate in the D/can society. Their segregating is hurting them. This is to change. They are getting there slowly. They do not have to change their customs/heritage.
      The government is assisting them accordingly. They now have a concerned MP, one of their own.
      Consider that some West Indians keep saying,black this and black that. How far can they get with that?
      We are all human beings – people. This is how we must think of ourselves.

      America is a corporation not a country. The united states of America was established in a specific year date and time like any other company. Look it up. So when they say America or Americans, many of them refer to the pilgrims or the first settlers (white people) who set up the country for themselves. Ben Franklyn Thomas Jefferson etc. These were the Americans. No one else was included. Not black not Indian not chinese. the movie Gangs of New York has intonations of this.
