I don't know, but the list of countries was inherited from the previous administration. Maybe somebody should ask Obama's DHS head?

  Maybe the list doesn't have any reasoning but was picked to distract you into posting this comment.

    You mean "to distract the person I was replying to", I presume - my entire point here is that the list is nothing to do with the new administration, and we should be focusing on the stuff that they're actually responsible for, since frankly that's rather more horrifying than the particular list of countries they're doing it to.

      They implemented the list, and the fact that you've found an argument why it could be reasonable is enough reason for them to use it - to slow you down. It doesn't matter to them if it's effective or sensible or not.
