"With the addition of North Korea and Venezuela, some say the administration is hoping to avoid previous charges that it is targeting Muslims ..."

Actually, what the additions show is that Trump isn't targeting JUST Muslims. He's extended his ire toward others in desperate need.

In the current climate, having North Korea on the list makes a certain amount of sense, but there's no reason to include Venezuela. That just punishes innocent people who've been victimized by their own lousy government. Now is the time to create goodwill with Venezuela, not animus. As usual, Trump is moving backwards.
