I get it too, to some extent. I mean, how are we supposed to accomplish this? Fine, so we ban all flights to the US from West Africa. There ARE NO flights from West Africa to the US. This guy came through Brussels. So do we ban flights from Brussels or does the whole world ban ANY flight from West Africa???

That’s what it would take. How can you accomplish that? What if the guy flew to Russia and then went to Germany and then to the US? It’s impossible to track.

I don’t know what the answer is and before I really started thinking about it - I shared your sentiment, but it doesn’t seem very realistic to implement.

Actually it is easy. The airport of origination becomes the identifier. A passport and visa is required to travel. Why has nobody brought that up yet? Somebody issued this guy a visa to enter the United States.

When I travel internationally, I am required to have a visa for entry. It's usually a single entry stamp. Japan gave me a five year unlimited commercial entry visa. That was only after a year of multiple in's and out's.

I had a room mate from Luxembourg. We flew from Ft. Pierce Florida to West End, Bahamas for a weekend of fun. When I landed in Fort Pierce returning they refused him entry. His visa was only good for one entry to the US. We didn't realize. His consulate in New York had to come down and get him out of a holding area. It took three days.

Ban all travelers from entering the US if they have an AFRICAN passport.

Revoke all visa’s, or all sorts, for AFRICAN visitors.

Secure the border.
