Homeland Security: Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry To The United States
Action
For the next 90 days, nearly all travelers, except U.S. citizens, traveling on passports from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya, and Yemen will be temporarily suspended from entry to the United States. The 90 day period will allow for proper review and establishment of standards to prevent terrorist or criminal infiltration by foreign nationals.
Importantly, however, Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States traveling on a valid I-551 will be allowed to board U.S. bound aircraft and will be assessed for exceptions at arrival ports of entry, as appropriate. The entry of these individuals, subject to national security checks, is in the national interest. Therefore, we expect swift entry for these individuals.
In the first 30 days, DHS will perform a global country-by-country review of the information each country provides when their citizens apply for a U.S. visa or immigration benefit. Countries will then have 60 days to comply with any requests from the U.S. government to update or improve the quality of the information they provide.
DHS and the Department of State have the authority, on a case-by-case basis, to issue visas or allow the entry of nationals of these countries into the United States when it serves the national interest. These seven countries were designated by Congress and the Obama Administration as posing a significant enough security risk to warrant additional scrutiny in the visa waiver context.
The Refugee Admissions Program will be temporarily suspended for the next 120 days while DHS and interagency partners review screening procedures to ensure refugees admitted in the future do not pose a security risk to citizens of the United States.
The Executive Order does not prohibit entry of, or visa issuance to, travelers with diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas.
The Department of Homeland Security along with the Department of State, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation will develop uniform screening standards for all immigration programs government-wide.
Upon resumption of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, refugee admissions to the United States will not exceed 50,000 for fiscal year 2017.
The Secretary of Homeland Security will expedite the completion and implementation of a biometric entry-exit tracking system of all travelers into the United States.

Then on Sunday, this bit of news came into view...
Saudi king agrees in call with Trump to support Syria, Yemen safe zones: White House
Saudi Arabia's King Salman, in a telephone call on Sunday with U.S. President Donald Trump, agreed to support safe zones in Syria and Yemen, a White House statement said. Trump, during his presidential campaign last year, had called for Gulf states to pay for establishing safe zones to protect Syrian refugees. (REU)

Editorial note: If that was the endgame of the above presidential order, to force these Gulf states to aid in taking Syrian refugees, then it was a clever move on Trump's part. The Democrats can't take the moral high ground on such actions it deals with national security, they too took punitive action against refugees fleeing tyrants, as far back in recent history back during FDR's presidency, when he turned back Jews fleeing persecution from nazi Germany, yet back then not a peep from the media back in those days condemning that action, or when FDR, established those internment camps for Japanese Americans shortly Pearl Harbor was attacked, fearing possible attacks from within. Yet Roosevelt never been called a tyrant in doing any of those actions. Other Democrat presidents also banned refugees coming to this country, reasons were national security, yet they never been hounded by the press. Double standard for sure.
This isn't about refusing people in this nation who wants a better life for themselves, this is about in my opinion of letting people in this nation who has no intention of following our laws, but wanting have us to adopt Sharia law, taking away our God given liberties we been enjoying for over 230 years. That's the issue. If they want to come and assimilate into our culture, follow the law of the land which is our US Constitution, and bill of rights, then by all means. That is what most immigrants coming to this nation as always done, to obey our laws, not adopt a religion over our liberties. The immigrants came to help build our nation, not set out to destroy it.
