No, my point being that if you want to enter a country, you need to accept that security measures are in place. And you need to abide by those security measures, no matter how inconvenient they might be. Otherwise, turn around and go home!
America's leader, empowered by voters, has decided that the current global climate requires additional security. If it's an inconvenience for you, turn around and go home!.
From what I can tell, most people who have green cards, visas, or are US Citizens are getting waivers, and are getting through. It sucks that takes time, and that there are administrative hurdles, but it's not like these people are being trucked to Gitmo and waterboarded. It's also somewhat their own fault for travelling anyway when they either knew, or should have known, what Trump was up to. Yes, a better implementation could have smoothed these problems. But if that's all people are mad about, there wouldn't be massive protests and non-stop media outrage.
The outrage comes from a false narrative that this is religious based discrimination. And that narrative inexplicably ignores the fact that citizens and immigrants from some 40+ muslim majority countries can still come here unabated.
