U.S. defender Geoff Cameron supports 'temporary pause on immigration'

United States and Stoke City defender Geoff Cameron says he supports President Donald Trump's executive order that bars entry into the U.S. from seven majority Muslim countries.

The temporary immigration ban on non-American citizens from Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and Syria has been criticized by a number of national team players this week, with captain Michael Bradley calling the policy "the latest example of someone who couldn't be more out of touch with our country."

But Cameron told Sports Illustrated he believes a "temporary pause on immigration" is an adequate solution to the country's security concerns.
