Lawmakers’ opinions vary on Trump immigration order

The U.S. government has granted waivers that would allow 872 refugees to enter the country this week despite President Trump’s order suspending the program, the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday.

A day after the acting U.S. Attorney General was sacked for refusing to enforce President Donald Trump’s immigration ban, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly held a press conference in which he defended the ban.

The DHS also said the Executive Orders were a “first step towards re-establishing control over America’s borders and national security”. Meanwhile, more than 500,000 foreigners flew into the country in the 72 hours following Trump’s order.

The chairman said he does not want to turn away holders of lawful USA visas or resident aliens at the border and he would treat foreign nationals, who supported our troops overseas, as cases for special consideration.

He began by clarifying that the order is “not a travel ban” nor a “ban on Muslims”, but a “temporary pause” on the flow of refugees and visitors from terror-ridden countries as DHS reviews its current refugee and visa vetting procedures. Claire McCaskill, sent a letter to Kelly, signed by all the committee Democrats, saying they were “deeply troubled” by the order and its implementation by DHS.

“I keep being asked about chaos at ports of entry”, Kelly said. “I know that everyone likes to get where they want to get to as quick as possible”.

Kelly said the seven countries in question – Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan – don’t have adequate safeguards to prevent terrorists from boarding planes to the U.S.

“We understand that scores of American diplomats stationed across the globe are drafting a formal “dissent memo” to register their objections”, the lawmakers wrote, “stating that the order will “not achieve its aim of making our country safer” and will instead result in a ‘drop in worldwide good will towards Americans and a threat to our economy'”.

“We have attorneys on the ground who are waiting with families of people who have not been let out yet”, Foydel said.

The new USA ambassador to the United Nations warns Iran that its testing two days ago of a long-range ballistic missile is unacceptable and an act the United States believes violates its nuclear accord with world powers. He adds that “872 refugees will be arriving this week and we’ll be processing them for waivers through the end of the week”.

President Donald Trump’s immigration order has brought a number of common immigration terms into the spotlight.

He told the Dáil he had already said publicly it was not correct to ban travel on the basis of country, nationality or creed.

While defenders said the order is needed to protect national security, Falcon said the order is a sign our country is going backwards.

Federal lawsuits filed in New York, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington challenged the law, with experts expecting more to come.
