We do not need to turn America into a fortress
to keep it secure. Since the 9/11 attacks, the United States
has developed a rigorous system of security vetting,
leveraging the full capabilities of the law enforcement and
intelligence communities. This vetting is applied to
travelers not once, but multiple times. Refugees receive even
further scrutiny. In fact, successive administrations have
worked to improve this vetting on a near continuous basis,
through robust information sharing and data integration to
identify potential terrorists. Since 9/11 not a single major
terrorist attack has been perpetrated by travelers from the
countries named in the Order.
