This is asinine, and frankly stands against most everything this country was founded upon. Why should these individuals be denied their dream of U.S. Citizenship just because of the country they were born in? Where is the objective evidence that any of these 38 individuals may be terrorists or "enemies of the USA"?
"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
-- The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus, 1883
