The Evil Travel Ban

How many times have you read that President Trump has banned all entry into the USA by Muslims?  It's a blatant lie, but one that continues to be repeated.  There is a ban on entry into the USA by people from six countries, four of which have Muslim majorities.  Something close to 90% of the world's Muslims, however, do not live in these countries and are unaffected by the ban.  In fact, the only places hit by the ban are those where there are major problems trying to determine if a person there is a terrorist.

The merits of the ban were shown again yesterday when the FBI arrested a Syrian refugee in Pittsburgh who was allegedly plotting to commit a terror attack on a local church.  This refugee was admitted in 2016 by Obama.  He had no background information from Syria, so the USA let him in without knowing whether or not he is a terrorist.  Well now we know; the guy is a terrorist.

Isn't it better that we kept a few people out of our country if that meant that tens or hundreds of people weren't attacked by terrorists?
