Okay, I know. President Trump's new Muslim travel ban will probably withstand judicial muster. Thankfully Iraqis are no longer subject to the travel ban. Including them in the previous ban was a slap in the face to those Iraqis who risked their lives to support our efforts.
But the new Muslim ban is really the same as the old Muslim ban. It still won't stop Muslim terrorist attacks. There's a very good chance that the next Muslim terrorist attack will be committed by a) someone born and raised in this country (as was the case in San Bernardino and Orlando) or b) committed by someone from the list six Muslim majority countries. Perhaps the terrorist will be from a country where the Trump family has opened a new golf course. What then?
Should this come to pass I have no doubt the Trump Administration will give us an endless supply of excuses and lies.
The San Bernardino shooting was made possible by a Muslima who attended the Red Mosque in Pakistan but who used a bogus Saudi address to enter the US on a K-1 Visa.
ReplyDeleteAs you are undoubtedly aware both Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have not been subject to either travel ban. My point still stands. Neither measure would have prevented the San Bernardino attack nor for that matter Orlando, Boston nor for that matter 9/11.
ReplyDeleteSo Trump's televised signature is just another "dog and pony show" as immigration doesn't even scrutinize K-1 and other visas from Islamic states not under the ban.
