And yes, I understand there's implementation differences and other structural difference with the prior bans but not in a significant way.
The differences are very significant:
There are major differences between Trump's immigration ban and Obama's 2011 policy
Most criticisms of this temp ban typically devolve into name calling, exaggerations and projections as to what might happen in the future.
I've read a lot of news articles and commentary on the ban and none involve name calling. The derogatory name calling you rely on in your post above are your words -- they not the words of anyone else I have read in this thread, or in the news. Plus, many posts here, and in many news stories, deal with real life examples of how the ban affected people. The only projection as to what might happen in the future was what I have heard from those who support the ban, including...

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!

It's clear that the US vetting procedures are woefully inadequate and need to be fixed.
There are no facts to support the argument that the current vetting is "woefully inadequate". In fact, the opposite is true. But if you really want to protect your country, why are Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey left out of the order? Most of the 9/11 conspirators came from Saudi Arabia.

According to New America, a think tank
compiling information on terrorist activitiesin the United States since 9/11,
94 peoplehave been killed by jihadists in the past 15 years.
But in its overview of who are the individuals committing the attacks, New America says the majority of attackers come from within.
"Far from being foreign infiltrators, the large majority of jihadist terrorists in the United States have been American citizens or legal residents. Moreover, while a range of citizenship statuses are represented, every jihadist who conducted a lethal attack inside the United States since 9/11 was a citizen or legal resident," the
New America study says. "In addition about a quarter of the extremists are converts, further confirming that the challenge cannot be reduced to one of immigration."
"It's certainly the case that none of the major, deadly attacks carried out in the United States were carried out by people from these countries," said Erin Miller, who manages the Global Terrorism Database for the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland.
Other experts agreed.
"Since 9/11, no one has been killed in this country in a terrorist attack by anyone who emigrated from any of the seven countries," added William C. Banks, director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse University College of Law.
