I said it would make no difference. Once again your argument is backing that.

The difference it has made is not measurable. It's amazing you would be oblivious of that.

So as far as you know it has made no difference.

I suppose you believe the big surveillance screen pointing at you when you walk into certain stores makes no different to thieves too.

Shoplifting amounts to nearly $50 billion dollars.

I agree and I think Trump will most likely win but that doesn't mean it makes any ration sense considering there were countries on the list that were not responsible for any terror attacks.

If I was arguing "I am against anything he does no matter what", I wouldn't argue that he has the legal right to do this.



Which pretty much enforces my above statement, that it accomplishes nothing.

As to your first point, maybe. This could be a whole bunch of fuss over nothing, which is often the case with anything that comes out of Washington. Still, it gives people a little peace of mind to know that 6 countries that are known to be havens for terrorists have had their ability to send their people to the US temporarily hindered.

Responding to your second response, this was your original post that I was responding too:

This was obviously how they were going to rule. Those countries should put a ban on American's in return. pknopp~

Nowhere in this post did you argue that he had the legal right to do this. You may have said this in a later post somewhere down the line, but not in the post I responded too. You did say he could do it in this post, but not the one I responded too which, subsequently, you were responding too with this post. Now I'm confused and I need an aspirin.

Ditto on your third response. See statement above.

Actually a good point, since I believe most if not all the terrorists in the 9/11 attacks came from Saudi Arabia. But you know we are way to close with the Saudis to insult them with a ban like this.

Roll your eyes, stomp your feet, but these terrorism-wary Americans, you sure won't beat!

Yes, Iran as of 2017 was still considered the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. So more than likely there are thousands of Iranian terrorists at work around the world as we speak. So I'm thrilled that you are on board and hoping that the ban goes into full affect in June.
This is about the ban on travel to the US nothing else, how many Iranian terror attacks on the US?
