From the article:

"Trump signed an executive order Friday prohibiting entry by people from seven majority-Muslim nations for 90 days. Citizens of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya would be banned from entering the U.S. for the period, while the government determines what information it needs to safely admit visitors."

I... have a hard time finding this to be that outrageous. I noticed the article mentions that they are muslim-majority, but they are also war zones, which I think matters much more. If it was an anti-islam thing then why wouldn't they ban people from places like Indonesia?

For our firm this won't really make a difference right now, and we'll figure out what to do in the coming months. I don't really have a problem with better vetting procedures for people from these countries.
