Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n
Trump tried to implement an anti-terrorist vetting law passed by Congress and initially implemented by President Obama.\u00a0 The courts have struck it down repeatedly.
\nEven if we did have aggressive vetting, would it help? Europe has vetted thousands and many of the recent attacks were carried out by persons on the watch list.\u00a0 The authorities don\u2019t have enough manpower<\/a> to watch all the suspects.
\nIt seems to me the obvious solution is to limit the number of new potential terrorists entering the country, but that\u2019s exactly what the court don\u2019t let the President do.
\nSo stop admitting anybody.\u00a0 Moratorium.\u00a0 Complete halt.\u00a0 Equal to all.\u00a0 Give us a cooling-off period, for recent immigrants to assimilate and for us to root out sleeper terrorists here at home.
