Officials of the administration have repeatedly cited the fact that ISIS has publicly announced its intention to plant terrorists in the United States disguised as refugees as justification for the recent executive order blocking immigration from seven Muslim countries.

If I were in charge of ISIS propaganda, I would be utterly delighted at this reaction and I would be hastily preparing a press release in which I proclaim that ISIS intends to send us terrorists disguised as

legitimate businessmen from dozens of countries we do business with.  

After all, if ISIS doesn’t need to demonstrate its ability to carry out their threats before we overreact in our rush to protect ourselves, then why hold back? Threats are cheap and the sky is the limit!
