This is a TEMPORARY ban (except for Syria) on seven countries identified by the Obama administration as those nations that present the highest threat to security of citizens in other nations, based on Al Qaeda and ISIS activities.  These nations have known terrorist training and recruitment activities.  Additionally, the CIA and FBI have said that it is currently impossible to effectively vet immigrants from nations that have serious terrorist activities.

It is essential that persons from these countries who were on-route and/or have been shown to have legitimate business in the U.S. through previous business and visits should be allowed in.  The ban relates to all others until they can be vetted.  It's n secret that the radical Islamic terrorists have come to our country before and continue to attempt entry.

Our government has the responsibility to regulate and monitor those who enter our borders.  A temporary ban does that.
