so it's not arbitrary action by Trump The choice of countries may not be arbitrary. The Executive Order is most definitely Trump's choice. Edit: My parent has since changed the quoted section to "so it's not an arbitrary pick by Trump". |

The distance between declaring a whole nation to be "high risk" and refusing entry to those coming from those "high risk" nations is very slim.
It would be understandable if there was any backlash or public outcry against labeling whole nations and all people passing through them as being "high risk", but there was none.
As there was zero oucry, this sounds a whole lot more like partisan, kneejerk anti-Trump rants than anything else.
Perhaps this is only a wakeup call for americans to take a long hard look at their immigration and foreign relations policies, which have been put in place since the early 2000s. Trump hasn't revolutionized anything. If anything, he is only directing attention to what the US has been continuously doing since then.
