A draft document obtained by The Associated Press concludes that citizenship is an "unlikely indicator" of terrorism threats to the United States and that few people from the countries Trump listed in his travel ban have carried out attacks or been involved in terrorism-related activities in the U.S. since Syria's civil war started in 2011.

The trouble is the locations that people come from with rampantly fake documents. Taking them by face value is national suicide.

I’ll also add that it is destabilizing to increase our Muslim population. Take a look at everywhere else that’s done it.

“Nonfunctional Governments” is the key. Sweden and others have found that deporting undocumented criminals is almost impossible. The country of origin will not acknowledge them as citizens.

Are Trump and his team as naive about the Obama holdovers as they appear to be?

Glawe was the head of intelligence for DHS under Obama — and he’s still there in a key position!

My stomach turned when Gen. Kelly gushed about working with Jeh Johnson in the past.

“A draft document obtained by”

Draft document? Is that the best they can do?

Unnamed - Analysts at the Homeland Security Department’s intelligence arm found insufficient evidence that citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries included in President Donald Trump’s travel ban pose a terror threat to the United States.

More junk news. This is not even to the level of fake news.

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health

Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Posted on 2/23/2017, 9:55:44 AM by Mozilla

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.

The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.

A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.

A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.

The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

“Taking them at face value is national suicide.”

Failing to expel all muzzies is national suicide.

It is a stupid ban. If Trump was serious then why did he not ban the countries that have harmed us the most. I am disappointed in Trump.

It is time we stop breast feeding off of Saudi Arabia.

This is ABSOLUTELY FAKE NEWS.

Draft documents are not OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS and are not the position of DHS.

The tard(s) that wrote this BS and anybody associated with its dissemination are about to find out the hard way that there is no expectation of privacy when you use a DHS computer system.

The ban isn’t so much about citizenship as the fact that ISIS will fall back to these specific countries and we won’t be able to trust their countries’ documents.

Well since they are not counting terrorist acts in Europe they can weasely say that.

And since they say citizenship is a poor predictor maybe we find a better predictor...hmmm...maybe a belief system in common?
