Trump, signing the executive order on the first day of his return to the White House, ordered the administration to make a list of countries banned from entering until March 21. In his proclamation, the president appealed to earlier restrictions he introduced towards a number of Muslim states. Many of them were re-listed, including Afghanistan, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Trump has justified the choice of these countries, among others, by a advanced percent of cases where citizens stay in the US after the visa expires, as well as insufficient procedures for collecting data and issuing documents. He besides stressed that the decision was based on abroad policy, national safety and the fight against terrorism.
For akin reasons, partial restrictions on entry to the United States besides included citizens of countries specified as Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
However, the fresh rules supply for a number of exceptions – the ban does not apply to people with green cards or circumstantial visa types, specified as visas issued to Afghan collaborators of the American military. The exemptions besides include athletes coming to the US in connection with the Olympic Games or the planet Football Championships.
In my opinion, the restrictions and restrictions imposed by this proclamation are essential to prevent the entry or entry of aliens about whom the United States government does not have adequate information to measure the risks posed to the United States – was argued in the proclamation.
Not for abroad students
At the same time, Trump's decision almost entirely prevents abroad students planning to survey at Harvard University from entering the United States. As the White home reported, this decision was made due to a threat to national security. The president explained that, in his opinion, the attitude of the university makes it a bad place for abroad students and researchers. It is worth noting that foreigners constitute about a 4th of the Harvard academic community.
Family separation
There is no shortage of criticism that full travel bans discriminate people solely due to their cultural background. any indicate that specified restrictions can lead to household separation. They can have peculiarly severe effects in immigrant communities in the US, especially where there are many groups of citizens from Haiti, Cuba and Venezuela.
Pramila Jayapal, a Democratic congresswoman from the state of Washington, criticised the fresh regulations, stressing that specified a discriminatory policy, limiting legal immigration, is contrary to the values that the United States should define. In her opinion, it will harm not only the American economy, but besides communities that are based on the contribution of immigrants from different parts of the world.
It's the President's law.
The legality of akin restrictions – initially announced by president Trump as a ban on Muslim entry – was widely contested during his first word of office. The regulations introduced were modified twice in consequence to the decisions of the courts. Eventually, however, in 2018, the United States ultimate Court decided that the president had the right to impose specified a ban.
