[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the offiical statistics on refusal rates for B-1 (tourist) visas by country:
https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/Non-Immigrant-Statistics/RefusalRates/FY15.pdf
Afghanistan is already at 61  % refusal rate.

I had a friend who worked in a US embassy approving visas. Most rejections are not for terrorism, but because there is belief the person intends to overstay their visa and/or work, which aren't allowed for this type of visa. So if you can't show strong ties back to your home country (property ownership, family, etc) you may be rejected. I also know a few people who were rejected (who happened to be white and not Muslim.. just because this was in Eastern Europe) -- typically people in their 20s with no strong ties to their home country.[/quote]

This goes to my prior point - we already ban people from coming without any regulation or law directing the state department to do so. So arguably, Trump could direct the state department to make the refusal rate 100% for countries x,y, and z. Of course, this would not be a ban on Muslims but rather on all persons from those countries.[/quote]
