Here is the primary problem with the ban, as I see it. It leaves out too many countries. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are not on the list. Do we not think that a terrorist wanting to come into the US couldn't get papers saying they were from Saudi Arabia? Iraq isn't even on the list, for fuck's sake, and that was where ISIS started and still operates.
This ban may stop a few people, but in the end, it is a symbolic thing to make people feel safe, but will do little to actually make them safe.
