This week, the radio program This American Life covered the muslim travel ban from a number of different angles. In one segment, they discuss the travelers affected by the sudden change in immigration policy. In another segment they talk to a guy who has actually been doing vetting of refugees for many years, and they discuss how immigration policy, while not perfect, has changed drastically since 9/11.

It’s an hour of your time, but well worth a listen.
