\"Immigration_Ban_Protest_at_ORD_08\"<\/a>President Trump has issued a revised travel and immigration ban. \u00a0This one is \u00a0designed to pass legal muster after his first executive order on the issue was struck down by the courts. \u00a0It is also designed to avoid other problems raised by\u00a0the first order.<\/p>\n

The new policy will allow visitors and immigrants from Iraq, responding to military requests that Iraqis who helped U.S. forces whose lives may now be in danger be taken care of. \u00a0Now citizens of only six countries will be denied visas for 90 days: \u00a0Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. \u00a0The U.S. refugee resettlement program will be suspended for 120 days.<\/p>\n

\n

The measure also removes the provision that allowed exceptions for religious minorities escaping persecution. \u00a0Thus, the courts can no longer construe it as being biased towards Christians and discriminatory against Muslims.<\/p>\n

The new order also addresses the implementation problems of the first version. \u00a0Those who already hold visas or permanent resident cards will not be affected. \u00a0And the new policy will not go into effect until March 16, giving border agents time to prepare for the new measures.<\/p>\n

Do you think this new executive order will get through the courts? \u00a0Is it now reasonable and just? \u00a0Will it still provoke outrage?<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump signed a new executive order Monday that bans immigration from six Muslim-majority countries, dropping Iraq from January\u2019s previous order, and reinstates a temporary blanket ban on all refugees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The new travel ban comes six weeks after Trump\u2019s original executive order caused chaos at airports nationwide before it was blocked by federal courts. It removes out language in the original order that indefinitely banned Syrian refugees and called for prioritizing the admission of refugees who are religious minorities in their home countries. That provision drew criticism of a religious test for entry and would have prioritized Christians over Muslims fleeing war-torn countries in the Middle East.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The new ban, which takes effect March 16, also explicitly exempts citizens of the six banned countries who are legal US permanent residents or have valid visas to enter the US \u2014 including those whose visas were revoked during the original implementation of the ban, senior administration officials said. . . .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The new measures will block citizens of Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from obtaining visas for at least 90 days. The order also suspends admission of refugees into the US for 120 days, directing US officials to improve vetting measures for a program that is already widely regarded as extremely stringent.<\/div>\n
