I don't disagree with the list of countries. I only agree ~ scratch that ~ I am only not arguing about or even discussing the ban because the POTUS said it is just for 90 days.
I don't agree with your questions at all. Not saying they shouldn't be asked. It's just not questions I would ask. Actually, I don't really have any questions because ... Trump said 90 days! It's his timetable or timeline. He set it.
Evidently at the end of that period uuumm ________. What goes in that blank? Oh! I know! What's everybody's favorite words these days? “Wait and see!!”
Considering the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia, why isn't that country on the List? What about Pakistan? Afghanistan?
As far the Executive Order is concerned we have to observe that it has got a life of 90 days only ie., just 3 months. The list of countries with Muslim majority included in it are 7. Unfortunately or otherwise, the list excludes the names of Saudi Arabia and also Egypt. Why the names have been excluded whether it is deliberate or an act of 'oversight' can not be said basing on the fact that Mr. Trump is a business man. We can not say that he has got business interest in his hotels and does require the patronage of the Saudi king. Had it been so, the name of Egypt is also not on the list. Egypt is under a brutal dictator. The leader of 9/11 attackers was an Egyptian. Has he to learn anything from him? A big question. Does he require a warm relationship with the General Abdel Fattah? The chances are remote for conclusions to arrive at.
But, we should not forget to observe that the names of the 7 countries included in the list were already flagged by Mr. Obama's Administration titled under 'COUNTRIES OF CONCERN'.
Why has Mr.Obama not issued an Executive Order like Mr. Donald Trump is not known?
Has he dodged the action?
Was he not interested in furthering action?
Didn't Obama like to face a delicate situation by issuing an order like his successor?
Is Mr. Obama really heartened by the Immigration Ban Order of Mr. Trump as expressed in his first statement after leaving the office?
Is Mr. Donald overenthusiastic in passing the order?
These are the mutable points before arriving at any decision as there are no conclusive evidence to attribute reasons for eliminating the names of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Trump has interests in Saudi Arabia. He admitted such during the campaign. He has business connections in other places, so one can not shrug and assume an 'oversight'. That these countries were 'flagged' ought have been examined as to why.
