You have to start somewhere. I think a ban/vetting process is a good start.
Still waiting. You promised me an answer on HOMEGROWN TERRORISM.

I don't think this will do anything to reduce terrorism in this country. We've seen that banning guns doesn't work, banning alcohol and weed hasn't worked, how is a temporary ban on a few select countries going to keep terrorists out when most of this forum complains that we can't even keep Mexicans out and the majority of terrorism in this country is carried out by people who are born here? It's a juvenile plan written on the back of a bar napkin.
... And dealt with it accordingly.Thomas Jefferson had a problem with it.
The terrorism occurring here in the US is not home grown. Some of the terrorists are, but not terrorism.
If no more terrorists are admitted, the number here will diminish through attrition. Anyone who visits a country that suborns terrorism should not be allowed to return. Armed citizens can deal with active terrorists shooters. Accept the fact that the terrorists don't hate us; they simply follow the Koran and sharia law.
The only thing that will end Islamic war on the non-believers is the return of Muhammad telling Muslims to quit what they re doing.
As far as 'accepting' refugees, no more refugees ought to be admitted into this country until we have enough refugee camps to hold them regardless of wherever or whatever they seek refuge from, and send them back when the danger to their life is minimal. If they wanted to fit into our society, they'd have applied for admittance before they 'felt the need' to run to the west to escape. Not staying to fix their own country is suspect.

I disagree entirely. Unless you can shut off all forms of news and other communications, people--even those born here--are to get pissed off when we drone-kill children in far-off lands.The terrorism occurring here in the US is not home grown. Some of the terrorists are, but not terrorism.

Trump visited Saudi Arabia, "arguably ... the most prolific sponsor of international Islamist terrorism, allegedly supporting groups as disparate as the Afghanistan Taliban, Al Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and the Al-Nusra Front.[96]" (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_terrorism#Saudi_Arabia). Going to keep him out?Anyone who visits a country that suborns terrorism should not be allowed to return.
