Cartoon from newspaper in Baghdad

forget this immigration issue, the real danger now, as a result of this poorly thought out policy is blow-back and instability.

  1. Many countries are rethinking alliance with the U.S. If we don't cooperate globally with other countries YOU may face travel bans to other countries as well, ALL U.S citizens could face punitive sanctions. Meaning as an American citizen, there are places in the world you will not be welcome anymore And of course sanctions could hinder us economically.

1a - Our troops are currently fighting right next to Iraqi troops. We rely on them for information and they fight in the same ranks as our Americans. Trump put American troops in danger and potentially harmed our alliances with Iraqi troops. This is a gross oversight that trump obviously never gave a single thought about.

  1. Instability - countries who are not our allies see instability within our country and (like China) will be eyeing us like a piece of meat waiting for an opportunity to knock us down a peg on the list of world powers.

This and the fact that judges and lawyers have denied the enforcement of this order, the chaos its created, the unpreparedness of the angencies to enforce it, makes it obvious trump aint playing 4D chess like you think he is. His move was grossly incompetent, and showed no considerations for the consequeses of his actions.
