ImmigrationINFO ..Immigration News For Our Community Ò…Trump Travel Ban #2

Mar 12, 2017 News

By Attorney Gail Seeram
On Monday, March 6, 2017, the Trump administration announced its second attempt at crafting a travel ban that would bar entry of individuals from predominantly Muslim countries.
Trump’s travel ban signed on January 27, 2017 was blocked by the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit. The new Trump travel ban goes into effect on March 16, 2017 and has the following major provisions:
· Iraq removed from the list.
· Targeted countries: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
· Current visa holders no longer affected.
· Syrian refugees barred temporarily, not indefinitely and refugees of minority religions no longer favoured.
· Refugees already granted asylum will be allowed.
The new Trump travel ban only applies to people from the six countries without current immigrant or non-immigrant visas. Students with valid F, M or J visas will be allowed admission into the U.S. The new order explicitly says that green card holders from the targeted countries will still be allowed.
The ban on all refugees to the United States is still set at 120 days. Syrian refugees are no longer barred indefinitely, but now fall under the general ban. After the 120 days, the administration will determine which countries they will reinstate admissions from.
Although the travel ban does not go into effect until March 16, 2017, there have already been multiple lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the travel ban.
The clear message sent by the travel ban is that America is not so welcoming of visitors, especially those of Muslim background. The United States of America’s tourist industry is expected to suffer with lower rates of foreign visitors. Mr. Trump’s travel ban is a distraction technique being used to shy away from the other controversial issues surrounding him regarding his ties to Russia and continued ownership in Trump companies.
I continue to recommend that lawful permanent residents (green card holders) do not travel outside the U.S., as stricter standards are being used to determine admission into the U.S.
