Proper vetting
Re the June 30 opinion piece by Jalil Dawood, “Trump’s right: It’s not a Muslim ban, it’s a screening process to protect us”: Dawood is right on target.
As a former refugee, he understands the necessity of stricter vetting of people coming from countries that harbor and sometimes reward terrorists. The ban is not anti-Muslim, it is anti-terrorist.
Undoubtedly, most refugees will become good citizens, butthere are radical Muslim terrorists who want to harm us, and the Trump administration just wants to find them before they do that.
