There was a radical imam that said that the US would turn against its Muslim people, and this is being used to point to him being correct. This isn't even getting into the fact that what keeps security officials up at night isn't radical terrorists getting in, it is the ones already here being radicalized, and policy moves like this are going to increase that likelihood for so many on the fence. The first generation American young man born to Iranian immigrant parents who now can't see family because of this travel ban now has another thing to be unhappy with his country about.
So much this.
I've yet to hear a compelling argument on how this EO keeps us "safer." It just reeks of letting fear win.
