How We See It: A Necessary Safeguard
Recent coverage of the administration's expansion of the travel ban often paints this measure as an overreach fueled by fear. However, this framing overlooks critical national security concerns that resonate with many Americans. Faced with increasing global threats, it's essential to prioritize our country's safety over political optics.
By focusing solely on the human impact—often articulated in emotional terms—these narratives downplay the fundamental principle that protection of our borders is paramount. This isn't merely about restricting travel; it's about ensuring that potential threats are carefully evaluated before allowing entry into the U.S.
Ultimately, this decision supports the rule of law, reinforcing the idea that sovereignty is crucial. Protecting citizens is not just a political move; it’s a necessary strategy for maintaining the integrity of our nation.
