No problem IF the list is transparent, appealable, and with clarity on why someone on it. Terrorism, not politics.
The Terrorist Screening Database or TSDB is the central terrorist watchlist consolidated by the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center and used by multiple agencies to compile their specific watchlists and for screening. As of June 2016 the list is estimated to contain over 2,484,442 records, consisting of 1,877,133 individual identities.[1][2] Approximately 1,600 nominations are suggested daily, 600 names are removed and 4,800 records are modified by the U.S. intelligence community. Approximately one out of twenty of the people on the list are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.[3]
...The Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General has criticized the list for frequent errors and slow response to complaints. An Office of Inspector General audit found that 38% of a 105 record sample contained inaccuracies.

“No problem IF the list is transparent, appealable, and with clarity on why someone on it. Terrorism, not politics.”
YES! That is the crux of the issue. We’re eight years into basically a Commie Presidency without any transparecy. Gining up “lists” outside our legal system and without ironclad due process requirements is a non-starter. Putting people on lists without any notification that they’ve been placed there cou[led with no legal recourse is the reason for the NRA’s current position. Trump is still right to be looking for ways to stem this violence. The fact is that if we didn’t allow muzzies into the country we would not have the magintude of problem we have had as a consequence.
There shouldn’t have to be a list in the first place. If we can’t trust them to be on a plane they should never have been allowed in in the first place. If they are criminals, they should be charged. If they’re guilty, convict them.
Wong answer. You don’t get your right restricted withou due process. Let’s say a mute and silent cop picks me up says nothing. Then proceeds to throw me in the slammer. Then without grand jury indictment and without preparation to hire an attorney in advance I’m brought before a judge who then reads me my charges then convicts me? Then I’m to spend 20 years in prison then must find the proof to get myself out.
That sound right? That’s akin to what you would support
