Barely a week after the inauguration of Donald
Trump as the president of the United States, he
is coming to terms with being in office and
making moves to make the United States a
better place.
Donald Trump, according to reports, is expected
to approve some executive orders that include
visa denial for citizens of Syria and six other
middle eastern and African countries.
This tweet by the American president is
believed to give credence to report on visa
application denial and subsequent security
measures in the United States:
Here is a list of the countries that may never be
allowed to visit the United States under Donald
Trump’s reign as the 45th American leader:
1. Syria
2. Iraq
3. Iran
4. Libya
5. Somalia
6. Sudan
7. Yemen
An undisclosed congressional aide and
immigration experts revealed this and also
backed it up by saying this move is in
connection with the tweet.
According to Reuters, Stephen Legomsky, the
chief counsel at US citizenship and immigration
services in the last administration, informed that
Trump has the legal power to limit refugee
admissions and the issuance of visas to
specific countries if the administration
determined it was in the public’s interest.
The professor at Washington University School
of Law in St Louis, said: “From a legal
standpoint, it would be exactly within his legal
rights.
“But from a policy standpoint, it would be
terrible idea because there is such an urgent
humanitarian need right now for refugees.”
The American president is expected to sign the
first of the orders at the Department of
Homeland Security, where immigration and
border security-related issues are also being
handled.
There had been a widespread uproar during
Trump’s campaign when he proposed a
temporary ban on Muslims migrating to the
United States, this he believed, would protect
the citizens from jihadist attacks.
But rather than place a ban on those of a
specific religion, Trump and his nominee for
attorney general, Senator Jeff Sessions, have
agreed to focus on restrictions instead, with
special focus on countries whose migrants
could pose a threat.
Meanwhile, the American president has started
fulfilling some of the promises he made prior to
his election in November, 2016.
According to reports, Trump will sign an order
for the construction of a wall along the Mexico
border.
