    Good post. We need to know who is coming into the country and do better background checks. If radical muslims can plan out 9/11 then there is always a chance they can do something extreme like that again. If we do nothing we are only setting ourselves up for another attack.

    We have had plenty of terror attacks in the US. Not all of them were from muslims. Americans and white people can cause terror attacks too.

    The ban was in place to try and stop or slow down the amount of radical muslims that are trying to get into the country to attack Americans.

    The liberal mind will only understand the downside of things when it happens to them. They seem to be missing the 'forecast gene', in other words, the inability to predict an obvious result when it's set against a given action!

    I'm sure people in the UK feel safe too, knowing 100%, a Muslim immigrant is going to kill a lot of people in the upcoming months. Then again, its just something they should get used to, right? Also, how myopic and shortsighted to only deal with a few months.

    Let's do this slowly so maybe the knuckle draggers can understand.

    It is a temporary ban ostensibly to give time for an "extreme vetting" process t be set up.

    Turns out there already was a stringent vetting process and no new one was begun during the 120 or so days that Trump has been waiting for his ban to be approved.

    And oh yea...refugees made NO attacks on us during that period.

    SO what is Trump trying to do here?

    Do you even care?

    I'm not the one peeing my pants on here about those scary Mooslims. That's the Trump fans.

    Japan has a permanent 'travel ban', and close to zero terrorism. it's a no-brainer.

    That'd be because it's not your kids being blown up.

    Yes, that's the reason. Nothing to do with safety.

    But my kids will have to live (assuming no nail bombs) in a world shaped by posturing hipsters who thought that being seen to hug brown people was more important than basic security.

    The stupidity of the argument for the ban :
    The ban was only supposed to be for 90 days - well those 90 days are up, and guess what? The world didn't end.
    THINK.
    Get a security blanket and hug it. Pacifier optional.

    bang on, actually. ask the parents of those killed in Manchester if they're keen on open borders.

    I don't know the details of specific American travel bans, nor do I care about same. I'm arguing for the banning of all Religion-of-Peaceists, from all Religion-of-Peace nations, in all western nations.

    $50 says you can't even name a single victim from Manchester. Don't pretend you give a damn about them or their parents.

    Can you explain what you hope to gain via open borders? Personally, I mean. What's in it for you?

    Are you saying that because other terrible events happen, we should be okay with more?
