It's not entirely crazy to stop immigration from these places. I don't support it in principle. But this shit makes me wonder if I should.
But most, if not all, of the recent attacks have been carried out by citizens of the country in which they happened.
Also, what about the American guy who killed two heroes in Portland. How would a travel ban help that?

“Since September 12, 2001,” noted a
recent report prepared for Congress by the Government Accountability Office, “the number of fatalities caused by domestic violent extremists has ranged from 1 to 49 in a given year. … Fatalities resulting from attacks by far-right wing violent extremists have exceeded those caused by radical Islamist violent extremists in 10 of the 15 years, and were the same in 3 of the years since September 12, 2001.” Imagine that.
The report continues: “Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far-right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent).” That’s a margin of almost three to one.
The report points out that “the total number of fatalities is about the same for far-right wing violent extremists and radical Islamist violent extremists over the approximately 15-year period,” with the latter edging out the former by 119 to 106. However, the report also acknowledges that “41 percent of the deaths attributable to radical Islamist violent extremists occurred in a single event — an attack at an Orlando, Florida night club in 2016.”
Falastur to see how he is and see if he's safe ??
Angela Miller Not to worry. I'm still here.
