I'm trying to understand why someone who is not from one of the countries deemed a danger to the US, would be concerned about coming here.

What difference is there for those not from countries who pose no threat.

If you plan to come with a valid permit,whatever kind, and intend to return when you should, what has changed.

The only change is the hysteria and lies from the media.

I would say if people are afraid to come to this country, it has more to do with the violent riots and the violent speech spewed all over the internet and media.

A white European might have reason to wonder if some of these vicious rioters might attack them.
