[governance] Multistakeholderism and Mr. Trump

[Raoul Plommer]

This pretty well sums it up:

"Under the [Obama's] law, dual citizens of visa-waiver countries and Iran,
Iraq, Sudan, or Syria could no longer travel to the U.S. without a visa.
Dual citizens of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen could, however, still use the
visa-waiver program if they hadn't traveled to any of the seven countries
after March 2011.

Trump's order is much broader. It bans all citizens from those seven
countries from entering the U.S. and leaves green card holders subject to
being rescreened after visiting those countries.

The executive order specifically invoked the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks. A senior Trump administration official also pointed to the 2015
shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California, to justify the President's
orders although neither of the attackers in the shooting would've been
affected by the new ban."
