From a foreigner's standpoint, that isn't notable at all. In fact, it's nothing more than closing a loophole.
When the US government specifically dictates that a kind of foreigners are banned from entering US soil, the exceptions to that rule doesn't change the rule or even the spirit of the rule.
The US government wants those foreigners off their land, and that's it.
I agree that it's a silly rule, but it wasn't implemented overnight.

There are people who have been living here for decades affected by this order. They have their entire lives here. There's a massive difference between preventing someone from establishing a new life here and destroying the life they've built here over years.
