President Trump is poised to sign an executive order that would suspend all entry to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries in the Middle East, according to a draft proposal obtained by Bloomberg News. His proposed list doesn’t include Muslim-majority countries where his Trump Organization has done business or pursued potential deals. Properties include golf courses in the United Arab Emirates and two luxury towers operating in Turkey.

 

Well, to be fair, the exempted countries represent more than just Trump business projects.   I believe we have a major military base in the UAE.  Turkey is a Nato ally.   And Egypt is a very important country which has signed a peace deal with Israel.  

 

According to that map, he is suspending immigration from Libya, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia.  I think banning immigration from those countries is a bad idea, just pandering to the fears of his constituents.  But it's not as bad as a total ban on Muslims, so I guess that's a step in the right direction.
