Dusty Johnson on Travel Ban: Screening Is Ideally Done at the Individual Level

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "Clearly, we need to do real screening. I like screening to be done ideally at the individual level, ascertaining whether or not a particular person is a threat to this country, or whether they’ve got a legal right to enter this country and make our country better and hopefully make their lives better in the process. I don’t love painting with a super broad brush at a country level. You just think about back to the World War II era. Obviously, Germany was run by a terrible, evil, villainous tyrant, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t let anybody from Germany in in the years prior to the war. In fact, Albert Eins — I mean, all kinds of folks from German-occupied areas, managed to make it to America. Some of them were pretty brilliant scientists that made our country in the Manhattan Project a whole lot stronger."
