But do not look for the travel ban to produce any thing noticeable except the reaction from some of the foreign countries included in the ban. It does nothing to protect what is taking place on our southern border or the additional problems Trump has started there with the separation of parents and children. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Policy is still needed for the southern border.
The national security of the U.S. has been protected from foreign terror attacks very well since the attack on 9/11/01. That covers a period of the past 17 years, and do to the laws passed and implemented by the Bush administration and President Obama's administration who made it top priority to bring Bin Laden to justice (which he did) and to keep our homeland safe from terror attacks from foreign countries. Our nations intelligence service has done a remarkable job doing the work necessary to keep track of those who would like to harm America.
Targeting Muslim countries is obviously satisfactory to Trump's base but could also act as an extra excuse to attack America. The question that has to be answered sooner or later is this. Will the travel ban protect America while it is in effect as much as America has been protected for the past 17 years. Only time will give us the answer.
