Now that the president has this power what is to stop him from putting impossible travel requirements on Muslim countries, in order to fit them on the banned list.
Wasn't that a temporary thing until policies where in place? It also seems that it was clarified that it was Muslim terrorist countries.
Well he did call for a complete ban of all Muslims trying to enter the US, now I wouldn't be surprised if his team tried to walk back those comments, but I dont think anyone really believes that this is move to fight terrorists, it just looks like the only jab he could take against Muslims.
