In that time, the government would review
#immigration and entry from 6 or 7 predominantly#Muslim countries, and fix any security flaws 3/x -

Exactly. No reason they couldn't study it. Only possible conclusion: they were disingenuous, they're incompetent, or both.

No one from those countries had killed anyone in a

But, whether the
#travelban was a good idea or not, the executive order was January 27, 2017. That's 129 days ago. 6/xThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

No, of course not. And the lack of a
#travelban has not led to any#terrorist attacks in the US in that period. 8/xThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It also doesn't help his argument that both the

This makes the
#travelban look even more like a#Muslimban, not a genuine attempt to protect Americans from#terrorism. 13/13 (end)pic.twitter.com/mckHUksBQW

When the Manchester bomber traveled to a country on the travel ban, the attacks only reinforce the ban for many of us.

He was a UK citizen. You're not suggesting that American citizens who travel to certain countries can never return to America, are you?
