Yeah, OK, not only did the WTC attack happen to us...our vetting system actually allowed them in the country, and then allowed them to be trained as pilots. Good system.

Then why aren't you protesting the fact that the WTC pilots were from a country NOT on the ban list?

Pretty simple really. All of the countries listed are in the middle of civil wars so the governments there aren't really functioning.

If you had even the most basic information you would know you just argued against the efficacy of the ban.

Best part... civil wars that we started rofl

Shhhh, don't tell everyone

I feel so much better that the US is in the future hands of ppl who see the world through rose colored glasses, yet don't know they're wearing them. :/


/e In your defense though, I don't think there HAS been a generation of 20-somethings, that didn't think they knew everything.

Proven wrong then runs the fuck away. Have fun with that, at least try to contribute something next time.

Something that is consistently overlooked. Sometimes i wonder do people understand that aside from Iran, all of those countries are active conflict zones. Not only that... but literally all of those countries have at least one warring party which identifies as Islamic fundamentalists that views the United States as enemy number one. Three months to make sure we have the proper vetting is just being responsible in my opinion.

Alright no need to play the "reported" game because somebody disagrees with you and your butt hurt. Come up with a cool witty reply and burn them with it.


I keep seeing the argument that none of the terror attacks in the US would have been prevented by this travel ban. How about all the ones that have occurred in Europe in the last couple of years? France, Belgium, and Germany come to mind. ISIS has openly stated they are trying to infiltrate the refugee population. They've also changed the playbook from being primary a military entity and are now trying to entrap vulnerable people on the internet, indoctrinate and radicalize them and have them hit soft targets in whatever western country they live in. They really don't care about local laws against weapons, they're fine with members running people over with cars, building pressure cooker bombs, going after kids with kitchen knives, or shooting people if guns are available.

Getting a vetting system in place is crucial for national security followed by beefing up DHS as well as international law enforcement, tracking down the ones running the radical websites, and shutting them down as well as keeping tabs on the people that frequent the sites and post extremest stuff on social media.
