2/1/17 Alex Nowrasteh on whether Trump’s temporary ban of immigrants from certain countries really helps US national security

Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity, discusses his guide to Trump’s executive order limiting migration for people from a list of countries supposedly at risk of exporting terrorists to the US; the overly-broad definition of “terrorism-related crimes” used by Jeff Sessions and others to justify the visa ban; and how ill-defined executive orders like this create capricious and arbitrary government.

Correction: the story about an Iraqi woman dying due to Trump’s travel ban was untrue.
