The department clarified that the higher figure included diplomatic and other visas that were exempted by the travel ban, as well as expired visas.

Good.

America is a nation of immigrants but also a nation of laws. The law is, You want to come follow our laws put in the proper paper work get vetted and pass the process you can come. If not you are more than welcome to go somewhere else.

If your core religious beliefs do not include freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, freedom of the press, freedom of blasphemy, sexual freedom — in short, core characteristics of democracies you do not belong here in the USA. Fundamentalist of any color, or belief system can not co-exist within any democracy.
Are you serious? It's for a hundred days chill!
it's the United States of America, not United States of Muslims
Clean up your own hemisphere , if you're not Christian/Catholic you don't belong in the United States of America period end of story . since there's so many races the only thing that can bring us together now is religion the same one.
US is so arrogant that in the future, the rest of the world will also ban the US. Typical story of an arrogant kid in the playground.
