He said, Put a commission together. Show me the right way to do it legally. To attempt to meet constitutional muster, Trump aimed his ban at
immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations. Rudy Giuliani went on to say in that same FOX News interview:
What we did was we focused on, instead of religion,
danger--the areas of the world that create danger for us,
which is a factual basis, not a religious basis. Perfectly
legal, perfectly sensible. And that's what the ban is based
on. But, as William Banks, the director of the Institute for National
Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse University, observed, ``Since
9/11, no one has been killed in this country in a terrorist attack by
anyone who emigrated from any of the seven countries.''
The President's own Department of Homeland Security recently reported
that citizens from the countries listed in the Muslim ban are ``rarely
implicated in U.S.-based terrorism.'' In fact, the report concluded
that individuals who died in the pursuit of or who were convicted of
terrorism were far more likely to be U.S.-born citizens than to be
immigrants. Here is the great irony and the tragedy of President Trump's effort
to demonize Muslims: Instead of protecting the United States, he is
damaging the security of the United States. His attacks feed perfectly
into and therefore strengthen ISIS's recruiting strategy of claiming
that the United States is at war with Islam.
