Read this paragraph again
""The Homeland Security report on overstays was limited to foreigners whose permission to be in the U.S. expired during the 2015 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30. It examined admissions for business or pleasure by air or sea, which were 85% of arrivals with visitor permits that expired in fiscal 2015, but not other smaller categories such as visas for students or for temporary workers and their families. It covered only those who arrived by sea or air, not land arrivals from Canada or Mexico, which account for most temporary visitors." <<the numbers are very likely much higher since they didn't count people from those countries who may have entered via Mexico and Canada.
"total people suspected to be overstaying their visa inside the US: 2,240"
WOW so we have 2,240 potential terrorists in one year wandering around? That we know about? How many people did it take for 9/11?

You're right about the temporary visitors. Yes, this data is looking at visitors, NOT people who have immigrant status.
You're claiming all those people from those countries are potential terrorists. Why do you not point at the Saudis, Indonesians, Pakistanis, etc? Those countries have had long standing problems with terrorists. In fact, most of the 9/11 attackers were Saudi. So, I ask again,
WHY the sudden ban on these countries? What benefit will it provide? Why do you feel this was a good decision by Trump?
