Fill Orders Prohibiting Trump Refugees and Citizens seven Muslim majority countries Entering the USA

President Donald Trump on Friday (01/27/2017) signed an order banning entry of Syrian refugees and residents of seven Muslim-majority countries to the United States. Here are the contents of the warrant, which has been criticized by rights groups and civil rights has caused chaos in some places, as reported by Reuters.


Temporary suspension of visa for certain countries

Trump signed a warrant that exclude foreigners from certain countries for 90 days (3 months). Although no country name is mentioned in it, but the letter was referring to a statute that said the ban was to be charged on seven predominantly Muslim countries: Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Iraq. There is an exception for certain types of visas, including for diplomats and United Nations staff.

Temporary suspension was intended to allow time for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the Director of National Intelligence to determine what information is needed from each country that issued the visa is not granted to individuals who endanger the security of the United States.

Changes in immigration screening

The warrant was requested to do the review in order to create a single screening process for foreigners entering the US territory, which among other things could be in the form of individual interviews, identity checks are more widespread and longer form filling.

In the current system, some applications require a visa interview, but others do not. The US government currently has an extensive database, but some people believe that the database needs to be expanded.

The warrant was suspended Visa Interview Waiver Program, which allows most of the consular staff are exempt from visa applicants face to face interview if they want to renew his temporary visa which will soon be depleted within a year.

The practitioners of immigration law say the changes will make the routine visa applications more complicated and time consuming, and could mean more people will need help to go through the process of getting visa.Guna mematiskan so that the waiting time is not too long interview, a warrant was requested so that more staff are employed at the embassy consular-US embassy abroad.

Restrictions refugees
The warrant was requested the temporary suspension of acceptance of all refugees for four months, so that the government could study the existing processes and decide whether additional checks need to be done, although there are exceptions case-by-case in this regard.
The warrant was imposed a ban on the admission of refugees Syrian thoroughly until the changes that need to be done have been made for the refugee program. There is no further explanation of this matter, which means the entry ban Syrian refugees in force until an unspecified time limit.
If the ban had been lifted, the United States government will prioritize applications only refugee asylum for those persecuted for religious reasons, but with their record should come from minority groups. In other words, means the Muslim refugees from Muslim-majority countries will not be accepted the request for asylum in the United States.
In a television interview, Trump said the move would protect the Christians. The policy also will protect the minorities like the Yazidis in the Middle East. Policies of this one, according to legal experts, potentially many lawsuits related to religious discrimination.
Once the door for refugees reopened, the amount received is reduced. In 2017, the United States set will only receive 50,000 people. Compare that number with 85,000 assigned the administration of President Obama in 2016.
The warrant authorizes states or cities refuse resettlement of refugees in their territories. Local law enforcement agencies are also given the authority to decide whether the person should / should not live in their area.

Completing Biometric Entry-Exit Tracking System
The system was intended to track the arrival and departure of foreigners by using information such as fingerprints. The Obama administration has decided that the system biometric checks for foreigners who come out in the US territory's largest airports will begin in 2018 unless implemented.
Some experts say that the system is running smoothly, it should cover the entire entrance / exit by land, sea, or air. According to the 2014 report from the Bipartisan Policy Center, implementation of this system would require very expensive fees and "assessments vary on the purpose of its implementation."

Trump bucks breakfast tradition by calling for prayers for Schwarzenegger

Speaking at a National Prayer Breakfast unlike most before it, President Trump on Thursday said the nation has to be "tougher" in dealing with other countries, pledged to make it easier for religious groups to engage in politics — and asked the crowd to pray for his successor as host of The Apprentice.
"The ratings are right down the tubes" since Arnold Schwarzenegger took over as host of his former program, Trump said. "It's been a total disaster ... I want to just pray for Arnold, if we can."
Trump constantly referenced himself during his remarks, talking at one point about how people often greet him with five words that warm his heart: "I am praying for you." He also said "so many faith leaders" have been "very, very important people to me."
At another point, Trump referenced foreign policy, telling members of the prayer breakfast not to worry about reports of his "tough" phone calls with world leaders.
"We're being taken advantage of by every nation in the world, virtually," Trump said. "It's not going to happen anymore."
The president, as he did during the campaign, also vowed to repeal the "Johnson amendment," which forbids tax-exempt religious organizations from making political contributions or otherwise engaging in campaigns.
Striking religious themes, Trump spoke of the power of faith and prayer and said "this gathering is a testament to the power of faith."
In paying tribute to the prayer breakfast — a bipartisan Washington tradition — Trump also made a joking reference to his 2020 re-election bid.
"I hope to be here seven more times with you," he said.
