"Cabinet officials are divided as they weigh the costs and potential security risks associated with the program"
There is also the social cost.  Mass  immigration squeezes Americans out and contributes to homelessness.
"a number that is already the lowest in modern American history."
Depends what you mean by "modern".  If you mean the last few years, it may be true.  If you mean since 1925, it is nonsense.
"protecting young immigrants from deportation"
A main purpose of language is to make distinctions.  These are illegal immigrants and to confuse them with "immigrants" in general is deliberate confusion.
"temporarily banned visitors from a handful of Muslim-majority nations"
It is a list of terrorist hotspots, and characterising them as Muslim is warping its purpose.  N Korea is being added.  Does this make them some kind of honorary Muslim?
etc. etc.
