Well, you're a serious dumbass....because the Immigration and Nationality Act of 2011 laid out new guidelines to cover terrorist and terrorist sympathizers.The law says a person can not be discriminated against based on their country of origin. She schooled Ted Cruz on this and I already told you this. Did you have a selective ability of reasoning?
This is the part where you cite the law or provide the link to it, since your interpretation of the law cannot be trusted.
It's not my interpretation of the law... it is what the acting AG Yates stated.
Why don't you cite the law?
I did... you didn't pay attention.
U.S. Immigration Legislation: 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act (Hart-Cellar Act)
Back in 1965 terrorism wasn't even an issue. Now we have countries that have been identified as terrorist organizations or state sponsors of terrorism but were designated as "Countries Of Concern" .....BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.

7 Countries Targeted in Trump’s Executive Order Initially Identified as ‘Countries of Concern’ Under Obama Administration
"In December 2015, President Barack Obama signed into law a measure placing limited restrictions on certain travelers who had visited Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria on or after March 1, 2011. Two months later, the Obama administration added Libya, Somalia, and Yemen to the list, in an effort, the administration said, to address “the growing threat from foreign terrorist fighters.”
The restrictions specifically limited what is known as visa-waiver travel by those who had visited one of the seven countries within the specified time period. People who previously could have entered the United States without a visa were instead required to apply for one if they had traveled to one of the seven countries.
Under the law, dual citizens of visa-waiver countries and Iran, Iraq, Sudan, or Syria could no longer travel to the U.S. without a visa. Dual citizens of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen could, however, still use the visa-waiver program if they hadn’t traveled to any of the seven countries after March 2011."

Hey dumbass... Trump's EO included people that ALREADY had Visas... did you read what you just posted?
All Trump had to do was talk to Yates about this before he came up with the EO... and this all wouldn't have happened.
