The popularity depends on whether its described as a ban of "all Muslims from entering the U.S." — a bridge too far for many — or whether the plan is narrowed to "temporarily banning" non-citizens who are Muslim.
If nothing else, Trump's unusual campaign appears to have normalized the once-maligned notion of the government applying a religious test. Millions of Americans are now intrigued by the idea, which has largely been debated without any detailed effort to reckon with its implementation or cost.
According to the officials who handle U.S. immigration and security, however, the most practical problem with Trump's plan is not about social controversy or discrimination.
It's about governing — and whether a plan that may cripple the immigration system could actually be implemented.
It is a major question in this year's politics, a field long known as the "art of the possible."

Would these be the same experts who crippled our immigration system??????
Good, it needs crippling.
Good, since the system now is to have no enforceable immigration laws at all.
Fixed it.
So what’s the downside?
Perfect! The immigration system is corrupt, inefficient and it employs lazy people who allow dangerous people to come here-shut it down for a year, fire almost everyone and start over with about 1/3 the staff and tough new rules-starting with no one from a terrorist nation gets in, refugee or not-period...
So they are as much as admitting that they cannot adequately vett these immigrants, and consequently, can’t protect us. So the “logical” conclusion is that we just give up?????
How about we STOP IMPORTING THESE PEOPLE?????
What immigration system? Kizr Khan sells visas to muslims. Just pay up and you can come in.
oh noes.....its going to upset government workers
Experts Say Trump’s Muslim Ban Would Cripple Immigration System
What a relief this would be....can’t start soon enough.
How do you cripple something that is already broken?
Like when Gandalf destroyed Balin’s chamber in Moria, it blocked the orcs.
Oh absolutely. Give bureaucrats less to do and they will become crippled. What a farce this article is.
Would Cripple Immigration System...I thought it was already broken?
Hahahahaha!
That might not be bad. The immigration system needs to be put on hold- no more immigrants- for a generation, at least.
Experts say experts are idiots...wait, I didn’t mean to say that, I’m such an idiot, wait...
Don’t they know that we are not buying their bs anymore???
Good.
When the GOP-e can explain to me why we need another 200k people with no skills and of extreme risk in the country without calling me racist, I will continue to oppose Lyin’ Ryan.
He said temporary. It’s not possible. Best we can do is block immigration from certain specific countries: libya, saudi arabia, syria, somalia, algeria, etc.
