It must be reversed
immediately. Let me give three reasons why. First, it ought to be reversed because it will not make us safer, as

countries. Not one terrorist attack has been perpetrated on U.S. soil
by a refugee from one of these countries--not one. Moreover, it could
alienate and inflame the communities we need most in the fight against
terrorism. As my friend Republican Senator John McCain noted, it could increase
the small number of lone wolves, which pose the greatest threat of
terrorism.
