This ban stems from a flawed premise to begin with. Nothing in this EO has the long term effect of securing our borders from terrorists. It's just a laughable gaff from a simpleton president.
We have mass shootings every day but if a Muslim kills anyone its "EEK! FREAK!" When that guy made poorly designed bombs that didn't kill anybody a month or two ago it was all over the news because he was from the middle east and they thought they could tie it to terrorism. It's fear mongering and the media deserves much of the
blame.
If 3 people die in a mass shooting or 3 people are killed in a terrorist attack, they are no more or no less dead
