It is barely a fresh coat of paint on the same car
that doesn't drive. It is still a travel ban. It is still a refugee
ban. It still makes us less safe, not safer, according to not just me
but to Republicans like Senator McCain. It still attempts to turn
innocent immigrants and refugees into scapegoats and still does not do
the things that would actually make us safer, like going after lone
wolves and closing the loopholes in the Visa Waiver Program. The new Executive order is still mean-spirited, misguided, and, in my
judgment, goes against what America is all about, being a country that
accepts and cherishes immigrants, not disdains them. I fully expect the
President's new Executive order will have the same uphill climb in the
courts that the previous version had.
