If John Wasik is against it, I am for it.
Mr. Wasik, does the two words “imported food” ring a bell? How about 3% of their economy being sent by us used for the “oil for food program?” Or maybe you’d like to discuss the billions of dollars currently being flooded into that region by the US for aide?
My old man said it best, “Don’t defecate where you eat.”

Great! He's probably a bottom feeding immigration lawyer intent on protecting the "rights" of Jihadis.
Oh please! 90+% of them are illiterates, as even the Merkel regime had to admit some short time ago. Hint: there's a good reason those countries are 3rd world sh!t holes.
This is opinion posing as facts. I’d like to see how many employees are actually impacted by the 90 and 120 day ban.
Besides, even if it were true, there has to be thousands of Indian workers available to take up any slack (can’t employ Americans now can we?).
what has additional security post 911 cost the economy, huh?
How much time in labor is lost by having to arrive early and go thru TSA checks?
What has been the budgetary cost of TSA and related expenditures?
How much cost is there to having the Syrian lawyer stand in line at his imputed billing rate? How about lawyers in high priced big law firms?
What effect does using FBI resources to chase 1,000+ cases in all 50 states cost us in terms of tax $$$ and opportunity lost to other crimes?
What effect did 911 have on the economy? How’d the economy and markets do in the aftermath? How long did it take to recover? Do you think a Syrian lawyer’s contribution is a drop in the bucket or a drop in the ocean compared thereto?
But wait, there’s more . . .
Headline is a lie. Thee is no Muslim ban! (There should be, but there isn’t)
I call Bull Squat. More globalist scare tactics/agitprop.
“I know a young Syrian lawyer who’s trying to move here from Saudi Arabia to start a business in America”
And perhaps also set off bombs.
If he believes American lives are worth the risk, let him explain why.
STOP ADOPTING THE LANGUAGE OF THE LIEBERALS!!! It is NOT a muslim ban. It is NOT a travel ban.
And really? The US economy CAN’T survive without 6 months without Somali and Sudanese immigrants?
OMG! A trade war with Yemen! Our economy will tank! Where will we get our child sex slaves?
OMG! A trade war with Yemen! Our economy will tank! Where will we get our child sex slaves?
It’s not a Muslim ban.
Fake news.
They didnt care about businesses under obama, suffering, because of government edicts by the fairy king.

Saudi Arabia is not on the list....terrorism is un-American as is being beheaded. Tell your friend to stay home, join his country's military and restore order to his own country.
One can always count on Forbes to look stupid several times a day.
Its all those IT specialists and coders coming out of those countries - those people are extremely well educated and literate - just look to all those Somalis in MN ... /s
So how much of US business comes from those seven countries? There are some students from those nations, but as far as large amounts of money coming into the US economy, I don’t think a 90 day or 120 day pause or ban or what have you, is going to make a hill of beans difference in our economy.
