President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order on Monday suspending immigration from six middle-eastern and African countries.
The new order replaces the previous travel suspension that has been held up in the judicial system and will stop all immigration from Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for a 90-day period.
The new order removes Iraq from the list due to Iraq’s imposition of better vetting processes and data-sharing agreements.
The president’s action also removes references to any religious group to avoid scrutiny by the courts.
Legal permanent residents – green card holders – from the six prohibited nations will not be affected by the new order.
The signing of this newest action is not on the president’s official schedule, but according to senior officials will happen at some point today.
Nice, we expect it to be duly passed this time. However, some countries exporting many terrorists (and criminals) and financing terrorism are not included:
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Algeria, Pakistan, etc…
France, you are quite correct in those not included. I think the key word in order is “Temporary”. This measure is intended to allow time to at least ‘start’ to unravel the web and locate weaknesses in the current so called ‘vetting’ and determine how to correct it….As (I) understand it, other countries may well be added if for no other reason than we know many from the initial six travel to them prior to coming to U.S
This is just a beginning….keep the FAITH
