Closing borders to those matching the descriptor of a group that wants to kill you is completely legitimate.
Stop using "racist" and "discriminatory" as buzzwords when in reality discrimination is not negative. Arab Muslim immigrants from Syria are inherently a more dangerous group to let in to the country than, for example an ethnic Japanese from Kyoto. Construing reality as being "racist" is counter productive and you will end up like Pouffy claiming that you should ban ALL travel of ALL kinds to avoid being perceived as "racist".
No originally it was:
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States
Due to backlash this was reduced to what you are saying. He
did originally intend to ban all muslims from entering the country.
Discrimination against innocent groups is negative, discriminating against all muslims or all middle eastern muslims based on a small minority of them is definitely negative. In the same way that discriminating against all Christians for the KKK existing would be negative.
