who came up with the list. Well, things are being done differently this time.
The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
notes that the list was developed several weeks ago, which means that this time Trump has ensured that his Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, is fully prepared to defend these crucial security measures.
With a DOJ now firmly aligned with America's interests, unlike the resistance-minded
What's different this time? Trump has learned from experience. Instead of rushing implementation, the administration has methodically prepared for the inevitable lawfare from activist attorneys and open-borders advocates. The State Department has been deeply involved in developing these recommendations, ensuring a thorough vetting process.
Let's get something straight: despite what the hysterical left will undoubtedly claim, this isn't a "Moslem ban." Just like the previous ban, it excludes Indonesia—the world's largest Moslem nation. This is about national security, not religion.
Will that stop the left from freaking out? Don’t count on it. I suspect the meltdown over these expanded restrictions will be a sight to behold. They'll conveniently ignore that this policy is based on serious security assessments, not ideology. They'll forget how they stayed silent when Obama's administration identified these problematic countries. And they'll certainly never admit that Trump's previous travel ban helped keep Americans safer.
But here's the bottom line: President Trump promised to put America's security first, and he's delivering. While the final list may undergo some changes before reaching the White House, the message is clear—this administration is serious about protecting our borders and vetting who enters our country. The left can scream "xenophobia" all they want, but American citizens understand that strong borders make for a safer nation.
