Donald Trump announced entry restrictions for twelve countries and Harvard students-Diepresse.com
A prescription by the US President, who is supposed to be directed against « foreign terrorists », affects people from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Iran and Libya. Trump also wants to study international students who want to study in Harvard.
US President Donald Trump signed a regulation on Thursday that prohibits the entry of people from 12 countries into the USA. « We will not allow anyone to enter our country that wants to harm us, » said Trump in a video published on X. He said the regulation was directed against « foreign terrorists » and other security threats.
The list of affected countries can be revised and new countries can be added. The president of the US President should come into force on June 9. It currently affects people from Afghanistan, Myanmar, the Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. In addition, entry from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela are sometimes severely restricted.
Trump: Countries « Home Terrorists »
In the video, Trump said that the countries that are subject to the strongest restrictions, according to his regulation, were « determined to accommodate terrorists to a large extent ». They did not cooperate in visa security and are unable to check the identity of travelers. They conducted insufficient criminal records and had a high rate of visa pullers in the United States. « We cannot allow open migration from countries in which we cannot check and control those who want to enter the United States safely and reliably, » said Trump.
Man threw petrol bomb on demonstrators
As an example of the need for the new restrictions he led the incident from Sunday in Boulder, Colorado. There a man had a petrol bomb in a lot of pro-Israeli demonstrators thrown. Egyptian citizen Mohamed Sabry Soliman was arrested and charged with the attack. According to the federal officer, Soliman had exaggerated his tourist visa. In addition, his work permit had expired. However, Egypt is not on the list of countries for which the new travel restrictions apply.
Entry restrictions for Harvard students
In addition, Trump wants to deny almost all foreign nationals who want to study at the Harvard elite university. The entry limitation should initially apply for six months, Trump announced. It is said to be directed against foreign nationals who want to enter the United States exclusively or mainly to study at the university or to take part in an exchange program it organized.
The US State Department will also be instructed to check whether the visas should be lifted by foreign nationals who are already at the university. The entry limitation does not apply to people from abroad, the entry of which – for example after the determination by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio – was in national interest.
Protection of national security
In his opinion, Harvard’s behavior had made the hurricane university an unsuitable goal for foreign students and researchers, Trump justified the project. The protection of the USA national security requires that the government provide sufficient information on request to enable it to recognize and combat misconduct from foreign students.
As long as the university does not pass on the information that its government needs to protect national security, it is in national interest to refuse to access Harvard as part of an exchange of education, it continued.
Legal dispute between Harvard and Trump
It has long been known that the US government wants to prevent Harvard from taking up international students. Minister of Homeland Protection Kristi Noem had announced almost two weeks ago that he had taken the relevant steps. In the future, the university should no longer accept new students from abroad as part of a special federal program.
However, the blockage of a US federal judge is currently preventing the US government from prohibiting Harvard on the admission of foreign students. However, your decision is not yet a final judgment.
Harvard is Trump Dorn in the side
The US government accuses universities of universities like Harvard a left-liberal orientation and too few measures against anti-Semitism. Unlike other universities, Harvard opposes far -reaching political guidelines from Washington and legally takes action against it. (Reuters)
