Mike McCaul: Trump’s Order Is Not a Muslim Ban; ‘The Policy Is Very Sound’

‘There were some problems with the implementation of this executive order’

EXCERPT:

MCCAUL: "That it is not a Muslim ban. It is not. And they took the seven countries that we passed into law, President Obama signed it into law under our security bill that came out of my committee to ramp up the visa vetting process and, you know, these are basically unstable countries, countries where ISIS is prevalent. And it could be expanded, of course, if needed. But I think this is a sound policy. I think the question at the hearing is going to be, you know, what happened with the implementation here? And the messaging? And I think there were some problems with the implementation of this executive order that will be addressed. I think General Kelly addressed a lot of these by waiving lawful permanent residents who were banned initially from coming back into the country."
