Trump: I Wanted to Delay Travel Ban a Month

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he originally wanted to delay his temporary travel ban for a month, but was convinced by law enforcement advisers to push the implementation of his executive order so nefarious actors wouldn’t rush into the U.S. ahead of the deadline.

"I wanted to give like a month, then I said, 'Well, what about a week? They said, 'Well then you're going to have a whole pile of people – perhaps, perhaps – with very evil intentions coming in before the restrictions,'" he said at the Major Cities Chiefs Association winter conference in Washington.

The president's remarks were his administration's latest defense of an executive order – signed on Jan. 27 with little warning – that sparked protests, confusion and legal barriers after court challenges in multiple states. The directive halted acceptance of Syrian refugees indefinitely and temporarily barred most people from seven Muslim-majority nations from traveling to the U.S. for three months.

On Jan. 30, after a chaotic weekend at major U.S. airports, Trump defended the executive order's rushed rollout.

"If the ban were announced with a one week notice, the 'bad' would rush into our country during that week," he tweeted. "A lot of bad 'dudes' out there!"

But Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly this week acknowledged to Congress that the speed at which the travel ban was implemented was responsible for some of the confusion.

"In retrospect, I should have – this is all on me, by the way – I should have delayed it just a bit so that I could talk to members of Congress, particularly to the leadership of committees like this, to prepare them for what was coming," Kelly told House lawmakers on Tuesday.

Kelly said the order would improve safety "for all our citizens," but that he would have preferred to hold off for "a day or two."

Critics of the travel ban contend that it targets too broad a swath of people while doing little that would have prevented any of the terrorists who have already carried out attacks on U.S. soil from coming into the country.

Nonetheless, Trump on Wednesday appeared to take aim at a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which on Tuesday night heard oral arguments on an order that halted key aspects of the travel ban.

"I have to be honest that if these judges wanted to, in my opinion, help the court in terms of respect for the court, they'd do what they should be doing," he said. "I don't ever want to call a court biased, so I won't call it biased, and we haven't had a decision yet. But courts seem to be so political and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what's right."

With the stop in place, Trump said, the country's security is at risk.

"I think it's sad, I think it's a sad day. I think our security is at risk today," he said. "And it will be at risk until such time as we are entitled and get what we are entitled to as citizens of this country. ... We want security."

In the meantime, he said, a wall he's declared will be built along the border between the U.S. and Mexico is "already being designed."

And he urged law enforcement officers to use their local knowledge to serve as the first line of defense against those who would wish to do harm.

"You know the illegals, you know them by their first name, you know them by their nicknames. You have that power. ... You know the bad ones, you know the good ones," he said. "I want you to turn in the bad ones. Call Secretary Kelly's representatives and we'll get them out of our country and bring them back where they came from, and we'll do it fast."

Well if a whole pile of people are going to come in in just a week, how many of those people do we have here now and where are all of the attacks committed by them?

It just doesn't add up.

well when they make zero sense, like claiming to vote for a candidate who spent his entire career in washington, because you wanted something different in washington, yeah. that was a classic, dude. why don't you just be honest, and admit trump has been very disappointing, and a major liar. i'd leave you, and others who did the same, alone.

don't get your hopes up. they're all scared of being in one of his tweets. can't you just hear some of the dinner conversation with spouses?

"honey, why don't you stick up for what's right and abandon this asshole. he is a lying POS"

"well dear, i don't want to be called out in one of his tweets. if i am, those dumbshits that voted me in won't like me and my career will be over"
