Trump is expected to sign executive orders starting on Wednesday that include a temporary ban on most refugees and a suspension of visas for citizens of Syria and six other Middle Eastern and African countries, say congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.

Trump, who tweeted that a "big day" was planned on national security on Wednesday, is expected to ban for several months the entry of refugees into the United States, except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place.

Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.

In an email sent to scientists on Tuesday evening and obtained by BuzzFeed News, Chavonda Jacobs-Young, administrator of the department’s science arm, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), told researchers the original order should not have been issued and “is hereby rescinded.”

This could mean the independent Macron gets some of his votes...and FN piece of #$!&@ Marine Le Pen gets some others. The Socialists are out in the wilderness as far as this race goes.

The wall is going to happen, it does not matter what CNN wants. Yikes. They wanted to know why it does not matter who pays. When she got backed into a corner she shifts to US $ spent internationally on abortions and sterilizations. Now drugs. Next, whatever.
