Poppavein seems to make some sort of false equivalency between terrorist and refugee. The vetting process already in place (which can take years and is extensive) has resulted in a total of 0 terror attacks from the 7 countries included in the Trump Muslim ban. I appreciate that Trump wants to fulfill campaign promises, but between that ban, and his rush into Yemen which resulted in a Seal Team Six death, Trump demonstrates that one might take pause and think through actions before committing to those actions. It would also help to listen to advisers (who aren't alt-right, white nationalists from Breitbart) who understand the issues rather than relying on his own limited knowledge.

I appreciate the author's story. It is a good reminder that we are talking about real humans and their families and livelihoods.
