Trump's New Travel Ban Revealed: Phase-In Period; Green-Card Holders Spared

Tyler Durden's picture

Deciding not the see the 9th Circuit court of appeals "in [Supreme] court" after all, last week the White House announced it would unveil a revised immigration order banning travel t the US over the next few days. On Saturday, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly previewed what it would look like, when he told a Munich Security Conference gathering that the travel ban will no longer stop green card holders or travelers already on planes from entering the United States, in hopes of avoiding another round of legal challenges.

“The president is contemplating issuing a tighter, more streamlined version of the first Executive Order. And I will have, this time, the opportunity to work (on) a rollout plan, in particular to make sure that there's no one in a sense caught in the system of moving from overseas to our airports, which happened in the first release." Kelly said in a panel discussion in Munich.

Asked whether green card residency permit holders would be allowed in, Kelly said: "It's a good assumption and, as far as the visas go, ... if they're in motion from some distant land to the United States, when they arrive they will be allowed in" and explained that it would be a temporary ban as the government reviewed the vetting procedures regarding people from the banned countries.

“I can tell you right now they’re not very reliable,” he said of the seven mostly Muslim countries the administration defined as terrorism threats and listed on the initial, temporary travel ban. Courts have suspended the ban, prompting the Trump administration to work on a new executive order. President Donald Trump has criticized the courts for their decisions, saying they threatened national security.

While onstage at the Munich conference, Kelly said the judicial rulings surprised him, but that he would not criticize them. “I don’t criticize it,” Mr. Kelly said. “I don’t know enough about what they think.”

However, his German peer had less qualms about lashing out at Trump. Onstage with Kelly, his German counterpart, Thomas de Maizière, criticized the idea. “To ban whole countries perhaps could create more collateral damage and perhaps does not produce more security,” Mr. de Maizière said.

The abrupt implementation of Trump's original immigration order last month resulted in immigration chaos, sparking a wave of criticism from the countries affected, and from Western allies and some of America's leading corporations, especially technology firms which are now hunkering down ahead of the next round of Trump's sweeping immigration changes, this one expected to impact H1-B visa holders.

Why no Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other's Jared Kushner? Oh I see...uh huh.

I agree. Stop ALL immigration immediately.

That would be the simplest and just give the finger to the NeverTrumpers and leftists.

How do you like me now?! ;-)

Couple of explanations for Barcelona protests.

Barcelona has few million people in it. And Catalonia prides itself on doing the opposite of what Madrid would want - and Catalans just like to protest. I definitely wouldn't take it as a sign of wanting more immigrants there- have you ever been in or near Barcelona?

Seems like somebody has the right idea.

If indeed true, why is this not big news anywhere?

Whenever illegals aliens and immigration becomes an issue in any country, it shows that economy of that country  is tanked or going to tank and blame will be put on immigrants. So prepare yourself for a hard landing.

I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... http://bit.ly/2jdTzrM

Nmewn, you're smarter than the average Trumptard. If you limit it to immigration vs student or tourist visas, then it doesn't actually do much. And if you clobber all visas from any country, which is the other plausible interpretationof this post, then you piss off India, and China and Russia, and...only a hedgetard.

It's time to start turning the leftards rhetoric against them.We don't want people who are undocumented to be in our country because if they do not have the proper identifying paper work, we cannot protect them from those who would exploit their labor and their sexuality. We cannot have them here because we care. ;-)

Yes! I love the way you think! Illegals are exploited so we need to protect them and the best way to protect them is to send them home where they can be safe . . .

He should be deported to Vietnam.   He was there long enough to have obtained citizenship status.

Make this the most airtight, legally fact checked, most restrictive ban on immigration ever. Shut down every damn immigrant for the next 10 years, we have enough.

After you get that put out, start the deportation of ALL the illegals. Use the damn national guard as well. Lots of americans need jobs, start a jobs program for ICE employees so we get the job done quickly.

Bonus: watching the snowflakes spin themselves into the ceiling when they read about it.

But student and tourist visas are fine? Gotta love the hedgetards.

Deport the Ninth Circuit Court members too.

To ban whole countries when authorities of those countries cannot provide reliable records is logically consistent.

This is bull. Trump needs to arrest the CEOs of corporations who hire illegals. Once a bunch of them are sentenced to 25 years in prison, the rest are gonna stop real fucking fast. The illegals will deport themselves.

billwilson2's picture

Can he please arrest the criminal bankers instead of putting them in his cabinet. Please !!!!

Sudden Debt's picture

Illegals where imported to create a unstable society where the militairy and police could take over and redesign society.

These deportations are reversing these actions and that alone can get Trump killed.

billwilson2's picture

Yeah, I want to see americans cleaning toilets, picking tomatoes in the sun, and cutting grass. About time those  lazy "real americans" got off their bloody fat asses and did something. Actually most americans would have a heart attack on the first day from over work.

When the whining farmers pay more than McDonalds I'll be impressed. When stoop labor in the hot sun pays less than working in an ergonomically designed, air conditioned restaurant, fuck 'em.  If it makes food cost a fair price, thems the breaks.

The El Donaldo regime is proud to announce what will hopefully be less of a fuck up than the previous effort was.

Kinda like Iraq 2 except slightly different Republican 'Intelligentsia'.

What is the current SS card verification now? I know at one time it was strict many colleagues were hit at SF hotels.
Then it lightened up. SF Unions are biggest offenders w/their hiring halls.

bkboy's picture

I assume you mean employer checks of SS validity?  E-verify is accurate and fast, but it remains voluntary, which means that all employers can rely on physical SS cards and if they later turn out to be fake, the employer is not liable for hiring an undocumented worker.

That said, California's State Board of Equalization will not allow employers, after an audit that exposes the undocumented workers on their payrolls, to expenses those workers' pay.  That can be such a big and unexpected hit that many employers are now using E-verify because it gives them a "safe harbor" from disallowance of wages paid to undocumented workers (provided the employer used E-verify and E-verify certified that the SS# was the employee's authentic number.

I wish he would ban all immigration for a 6 months to a year. Then when it's reopened it's only for people that can demonstrate a worth to this country. Why are we the only country that is expected to let nearly every blood sucking leech into it's country?

GreatUncle's picture

Oh you ain't special, many other countries are experiencing the same problem.

I hope Trump pulls it off, because it like a blueprint for other nations to do the same.

Troll Magnet's picture

Yup. Immigration is a HUUUGE problem in just about every advanced nation. We're not alone here.

As for determining someone's "worth," how? How would you measure it?
