Why couldn't we just change the rules for new visa that are being given out? People would have had ample warning before they get to the border and people with existing visa who randomly happened to be traveling wouldn't have been impacted. Arguably we would have achieved about the same security without the giant mess.

The only reason I can see why this was done in this fashion, side stepping regular process as if some disaster wag imminent is so that our new president can own this news cycle and make his fanatic voters happy.
