Fear and lies
Donald Trump became president on a platform of fear and lies. As president, he continues to stoke the flames of fear and lies.
If two years of vetting isn’t sufficient, then we should improve the process instead of imposing a temporary ban. A ban is a way to divide Americans and fuel hatred of people who don’t look like us.
Isolated attacks have occurred since 9-11 by Muslims in America who have become radicalized, but not one attack has been perpetrated by refugees or anyone from the seven nations affected by the ban. No ban has been imposed on travelers from Saudi Arabia, where most of the 9-11 attackers came from.
Our best defense against terrorism is an intelligence community that is not denegrated.
