Don't support what Trump is doing, so of course I don't support what Kuwait is doing. It's so counter-productive and ineffective; especially considering that it doesn't ban immigrants from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which, statistically speaking has produced more terrorists.

I do support it. Each of the countries on the ban list (except Iran) are in the top ten for terrorist activity. There are more than enough people from other places who want to go to the US. Why not pick and choose, until messed up places can get their shit together? I do agree on Saudi Arabia, they should have been boycotted a long time ago, considering they are the driving cultural force behind extremist Islam.

The counter I've seen to this time and again is that Saudi Arabia and UAE are at least able to enforce law and order. The countries on the current no immigration list are lawless failed states with no way of providing accurate records on potential immigrants and thus are unable to properly vet their exiting citizens. As shitty of a country as S.A. is, they are no slouches when it comes to crime and punishment.

There is a new king in Saudi Arabia who better understands the problem things like ISIS are creating on the world stage (and isn't interested in attacking the US like the Saudi king of 2000 and 2001), and he is already working to make safe zones for the Syrian refugees in his country, which is a far better proposition than making them flee to Europe or the US.

Honestly, it is kind of moot when the kingdom is actively promoting an ideology across the Muslim World (Wahhabism) that creates groups like ISIS.
