David French, the man Bill Kristol thought would run as a third-party candidate and derail Donald Trump's march to the White House, offers a good piece explaining that the infamous "Muslim ban" isn't.

The piece also contains link to a report from The Heritage Foundation, which provides the long list of terror attacks and attempt terror attacks in this country since 9/11. [An Interactive Timeline of Islamist Terror Plots Since 9/11]

The obvious policy solution: close the borders.
