WaPo’s Ignatius: 300 Possible Terrorists Travel Ban Would Have Stopped a ‘Tiny Number’

On Morning Joe, David Ignatius, discussing the 300 people who came from countries on the revised travel order who were subsequently subject to criminal, anti-terrorism investigations, is a “tiny number.” Get the rest of the story at Legal Insurrection: http://legalinsurrection.com/

The discussion began with a clip of Chuck Schumer claiming the revised order makes us “less safe, not safer.”

CHUCK SCHUMER: The truth is, there is very little new or improved about this executive order. It’s barely a fresh coat of paint on the same car that doesn’t drive. It’s still a travel ban. It’s still a refugee ban. It still makes us less safe, not safer.

. . .

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: David Ignatius, how does this make us safer, if you could explain the ban to us.

DAVID IGNATIUS: . . . There’s an assertion that 300 refugees have been a subject of criminal counter-terrorism investigations. So see, here’s the threat as people have looked at those numbers, they’ve noted that 300 people is, by one count, 1/15 of 1% of the refugees who have come since 9/11 from the six countries that are subject to this ban. So it’s a tiny number.
