No refugee from any of the seven countries has committed a terrorist attack in the United States. How can the United States kill Yemenis while simultaneously barring civilians from seeking refuge here? This at least would engender more trust of the United States in Yemen, since drones and the Saudi-led coalition have killed many civilians there. I am afraid it will make things only worse. For so long, this country has been a beacon of freedom, equality and justice — one that the rest of the world admires.
