In a previous post we outlined the plain facts of President Trump’s executive order [EO] temporarily pausing the admission of individuals from countries previously identified by Congress and President Obama as posing serious security risks to the United States. Many media outlets have again done themselves no favors in the credibility department with their hyperbolic reporting based on deliberate misrepresentations of what the EO actually says and does.
President Trump’s EO simply ordered secondary inspections for individuals coming from “countries of concern” before they are admitted into the U.S., and instituted a temporary pause in refugee resettlement until the President is satisfied that effective vetting measures are in place to prevent the entry of potential terrorists.
The merits of the actions taken by the Trump Administration, like all Presidential decisions, are up for debate, but no substantive debate can occur when those responsible for setting the tone of that debate resort to demagoguery and fear-mongering. It is irresponsible for politicians and influential media outlets to portray this effort as something unprecedented or extralegal.
