And in this incident, it is the mainstream media
that is pushing this misinformation. Let's separate myth from fact and
inject a little coolheaded commonsense into this national dialogue. Friday's executive order does a few things: It pauses the entry of
all refugees for the next 120 days; it caps refugee admissions for
fiscal year 2017 at 50,000; it stalls, for 90 days, the admission of
foreign nationals from seven countries that are well established as
terrorist hotspot countries; and it puts priority on highly persecuted
religious minorities when the refugee program resumes. The media has echoed the protesters' assertion that this is somehow a
Muslim ban. They are flat-out wrong.
