Is the renewed travel ban too expansive, not expansive enough, or just right?

[Chazmatazz269]

Drumpf unveiled plans to renew his travel ban from his first administration as POTUS. The first iteration faced multiple legal challenges but ultimately succeeded. It’s expected that those previous challenges gave the new administration the advantage in fast-tracking the latest version.
I wonder though, especially with the recent success China had with smuggling a deadly and destructive pathogen into the US, why isn’t China on the list of restricted countries?

Interestingly, Drumpf referred to the recent attack in Boulder, Colorado in justifying these restrictions. Yet the attacker’s home country of Egypt is not on the list of travel restrictions.

Are these merely oversights on the part of the FBI, DOJ, HS, and SD? Or are Drumpf’s critics right that he’s merely seizing the opportunity to demonstrate his xenophobia, directed primarily at Muslims, and not at all concerned about national security?

We need more travel restrictions!

We need less travel restrictions!

These travel restrictions are just right!

I think we need to know just exactly what the word restriction means in these cases. If it means that a deeper look into one's past activities before awarding them a visa, then yes bring it on and add Russia, China,

The article goes into depth. I think it’s like twelve countries are outright banned, until those countries improve their screening processes before awarding travel papers to the US. Eight others have been restricted, but not banned.

can't ya just fly to Europe and then fly to Myanmar?

It creates problems for those that do mission work to those areas... risking their lives... to help the oppressed peoples.

That said, I don't know what the risks are. It seems over reaching, but are you getting a daily readout of international terrorist risks? The President is... and doesn't want a bomb going off, a tunnel blow up, or people in Colorado torched by a psycho with a flame thrower.

That is his job isn't it?

[Chazmatazz269]

Then why didn’t they ban China too? There was literally an attack a matter of days before this ban. If he gets daily reports on threats, then he knows there was a threat and he ignored it.

[Chazmatazz269]

He also didn’t ban Egypt; the home of the terrorist in Colorado’s recent attack.

I agree it seems non sensical. just because they have information doesn't mean they know everything coming. Some areas are problems, so just shut it down. I don't have an issue with that. It's being conservative.
I have no interest in being blown up in a tunnel some nut job decides to decimate. I'd prefer conservative.
a more clear policy be good.

It will be hilarious watching the lefty meltdown over the next couple of days.

[SmokinAces2000]

So you base your support of someone, not because what they are doing is actually good or effective, but because leftists will “meltdown”

[seeyounexttuesday]

@SmokinAces2000 No, it's good and effective to put a travel ban in place. The meltdowns are just gravy.

I'm not fucked nearly enough.
