Another Promise Fulfilled – President Trump’s Temporary Halt on Refugee Influx and Seven Nation Visa Suspension…In yesterday’s executive action (full script not yet released) President Trump suspended the visa travel program with
Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days in order to assess the screening process for immigrants, and visitors.
Additionally, as reported by Reuters, President Trump put a
four-month hold on the State Department refugee program, while the vetting process is reviewed and security practices put into place to enhance the screening process.
President Trump can establish any arbitrary standard for the allowed or preferred U.S. immigration process, he deems in the nation’s interest. President Obama did exactly the same thing with the reverse ideological intent.
In fact, President Trump could,
by the constitutional power of his office, completely shut down the entire immigration and naturalization process, halting any further emigration to the U.S.
permanently.
[…] Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law, said
Trump’s action would likely be constitutional because the president and Congress are allowed considerable deference when it comes to asylum decisions.
“It’s a completely plausible prioritization, to the extent this group is actually being persecuted,” Spiro said.
