You are correct that the bans are just temporary, but this is a wrong sign.

Especially from a country which is based on Immigrants only (and with that destroyer of his native people)!  Also in your earlier reaction you mentioned USA is taking the most immigrants, yes if you count in that the current people in the USA are not native people, but all from Europe anyway! If you mean from the point when USA got independent, nope you are not correct:
USA only has between 12 to 14 % immigrants (which mostly in the USA  are from South America or again Europe) compared to more then 20% in Canada. Also countries like Sweden, Germany, Switzerland and even China are taking in more immigrants (in % ) so you are not correct in this.
Secondly this is a wrong sign from the so called Free Country of possibilities! Is the USA afraid of Islamic terrorists or just afraid of a religion with this strange ban. (below 1% of USA people is Moslim were in all other western countries this is at least 3%) If the ban is to make sure no terrorist are coming, you need really to change the plan and ban all countries or Moslims. But then again you will get the next problem the extreme terrorist are now changed christians and moslimic people born in a western country.(so with all the things ongoing are not feeling welcome in the country they have been born in and are also not accepted in their parrents country as full).

On-Topic: I think it's good that a company like this is trying to make clear, that the direction from Trump is not really helping in making the world a peacefull place!!

Its still going to be a country of immigrants with a VERY diverse population, we'll still take more immigrants than any other country (regardless of population percentage spin) and we'll still give money to native Americans because they weren't destroyed ("destroy" would mean they don't exist).

Its not an Islam ban, plenty of Islamic countries were excluded. European countries are closer to Islamic countries, so naturally those countries will have a higher percentage of muslims. With that said, who has more Mexicans than the US? European countries are vastly more white than the US.

From my understanding the ban is just temporary as they figure out a better vetting process. So we'll have to wait and see how that goes. But again, if this was really about stopping muslims from coming in then there would be a lot more countries banned.

Yes, fixed number is huge yes on immigrants to the USA. But to be hones the best way to see if your population is diverse in Ethnic and culture you need to see it in percentage compared to the native population(which is hard in the USA ). In the USA most of the immigrants will come from South America. And remember that most white USA people are immigrants from Europe or from Israel! (as there were no white people in America before 1492. (maybe a few Vikings who couldn't go back to their own country) because how diverse is USA in reality. How much more foreigners are you seeing when you go to do your shopping? Absolute numbers doesn't say anything if the total population number is huge. For example: In the US there are around 158k Syrians (some born in the US some are refugees and some are just economical immigrants)  USA has around 325M people. How often will you meet one of the 158k Syrians in the US in reality? (yes only in the larger cities once in a while) In the Netherlands there are approx 64k Syrians and in total there are +/- 17M people living in this small country! You see? So that's why the % is a better way of seeing it!! Ofcourse Syria is in closer to our borders it's obvious Syrians will come first to Europe countries. But absolute numbers don't mean anything if you compare it to the total population! If a country only has 50 people and there are suddenly 20 immigrants from different countries this is a very diverse population!

As you mentioned correctly outside Mexico, the USA has most Mexicans of the world. 
How would you define White People? I know in the USA they use for example Caucasian or Hispanic when you have to fill in the form for the border. But in reality the Hispanic are descents from people from Spain and Portugal so they are Caucasian. I think Caucasian is not even relevant, because between Caucasian Descents there are so many differences. Is someone from Spain in your eyes white? Is someone from Turkey white? Or from Italy or Greece?
