Revised executive order bans travelers from six countries from getting new visas
cue the trumpettes lining up to babble about how it&#x27;s necessary.<p>even if you think this policy is necessary, this is still a shitty policy because it doesn&#x27;t go far enough to satisfy its stated aims in addition to being morally repugnant. you shouldn&#x27;t support this policy because of how flawed it is.<p>there are plenty of countries that are incubators of islamic terrorism that aren&#x27;t on the ban. if the goal is to prevent islamic terrorists from abroad committing terror acts here, that&#x27;s still entirely possible. osama bin laden wouldn&#x27;t be caught by this ban or the previous one because he was a saudi. think about that for a minute.<p>and now the border patrol &#x2F; tsa will be even more inspired to make life hell for the law abiding people who are coming here or returning here from abroad from countries not mentioned on the ban.<p>this is killing the usa&#x27;s tourism industry. this is preventing highly educated people from abroad from coming here to let us make use of their talents. this is an embarrassment.<p>anyways, i challenge any supporters of this policy to defend it here in public. you won&#x27;t last long.
