Alternate news quoted:

"If you were going to go on the historical facts of terrorist threats in this country, it wouldn't be Syria, it would be Saudi Arabia"

Definitely an incorrect statement. ISIS is pulling out of Syria and headed to Western Europe and the United States. Saudi Arabia is a US ally and has a record of fighting terrorism, although at times it walks a tight rope in doing so.

Why is this mentioning the travel ban? Afghanistan is not currently in the list of countries affected by the ban.
Glad for that person that he made it safe, but the article seems to try to make an irrelevant connection between his story and the travel ban.

Saudi Arabia's cooperation doesn't seem to be worth all that much, since bulk of the 9/11 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. But since your Dear Leader has business in that country (and UAE where two more of the hijackers hailed from), they managed to be exempt from that travel ban. He thought through this long and hard, as he claims he selected those 7 countries due to their unique threat, and ignored the other due to the threat to his pocketbook.

I respectfully disagree with "curious" above. This story is relevant to the administration's Muslim Ban.

Here is why: if vetting currently takes 5 years like it did in this case, how much longer would the "extreme vetting" proposed by the administration take? It sounds to me like we are just using the power of the US government to torment people who are in mortal danger.

I firmly believe America is better than that.

There is no Muslim Ban. To continue to push this mis-representation is why the media and left continues to get attacked as being false and misrepresenting. If there were a Muslim ban then Pakistan, Indonesia, Saudi and a host of other primarily Muslim countries would be on the list but they're not. So stop with the Muslim ban, there is no such thing.

The countries on the TEMPORARY restraining order are all from issues identified by Obama's administration. Period. Stop twisting it into something else. I have no problem with increased caution vetting people coming into our country from areas that could be problematic. I know many of you disagree but fortunately there are others in position to make these decisions who feel the same and you're only benefiting from their tough choices.

Uh, Trump campaigned on banning Muslims, and Rudy Giuliani himself said that Trump asked him to put together a Muslim ban. This was part of the evidence entered during the 9th circuit hearings.

I also think you're very confused, since the Temporary Restraining Order is what the courts did to stop the implementation of the Muslim ban.
