I happen to think that the North Korea ban is the most indefensible thing an American president has done since Watergate. People aren’t allowed to leave North Korea. They’re starving and unable to do anything. People try and fail to run away to China all the time. If a North Korean manages to actually make his way over here, sending him back would be akin to a death sentence. How can we stop North Koreans from coming here, even if the odds of them making it are slim to none anyway?
Sam, be a deep thinker. If someone gets out of NK they’re not flying directly from Pyongyang to New York. They’re certainly going to another country first. So they’re already out of NK before they get to the US. Keeping them from the US only means they must stay in whichever other country (South Korea, etc.) they’re already in. Not being allowed to travel to the US (which is one of 195 countries in the world) certainly does not mean being forcibly repatriated to NK.
