  I just had the opportunity, before replying to your comment, to rate it as both good and civil, which of course it is.
  <If admitting the inhabitants of a certain country is perceived as constituting a danger to the host nation, does the host have the right to not allow them in?>
  Do you think that ALL of the inhabitants of any country constitute a danger? That is not contemplated in American jurisprudence, nor is the notion that ALL of the adherents of a given religion constitute a danger. The “perception” of danger is entirely irrelevant; dangerousness is determined on a case-by-case basis by competent authorities using objective criteria. Religion and geography, standing alone, are not among them.
  The executive order is a Muslim ban. Giuliani has done Trump the disservice of bragging about his role in devising an approach which, it was hoped, would not look like a Muslim ban. No one was fooled: not those who support the ban and not those who oppose it.
