DHS Announces Further Travel Restrictions for the Visa Waiver Program

Release Date:
February 18, 2016

For Immediate Release
DHS Press Office
Contact: 202-282-8010

WASHINGTON—The Department of Homeland Security today announced that it is continuing its implementation of the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015 with the addition of Libya, Somalia, and Yemen as three countries of concern, limiting Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals who have traveled to these countries.

Pursuant to the Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security had sixty days to determine whether additional countries or areas of concern should be subject to the travel or dual nationality restrictions under the Act. After careful consideration, and in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security has determined that Libya, Somalia, and Yemen be included as countries of concern, specifically for individuals who have traveled to these countries since March 1, 2011. At this time, the restriction on Visa Waiver Program travel will not apply to dual nationals of these three countries. DHS continues to consult with the Department of State and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to develop further criteria to determine whether other countries would be added to this list.

Last month, the United States began implementing changes under the Act. The three additional countries designated today join Iran, Iraq, Sudan and Syria as countries subject to restrictions for Visa Waiver Program travel for certain individuals. Under the new law, the Secretary of Homeland Security may waive these restrictions if he determines that such a waiver is in the law enforcement or national security interests of the United States. Such waivers will be granted only on a case-by-case basis. As a general matter, categories of travelers who may be eligible for a waiver include individuals who traveled to these countries on behalf of international organizations, regional organizations, and sub-national governments on official duty; on behalf of a humanitarian NGO on official duty; or as a journalist for reporting purposes.

The addition of these three countries is indicative of the Department’s continued focus on the threat of foreign fighters. DHS continues to review the security of the Visa Waiver Program, the threat environment, and potential vulnerabilities. This is the latest step in a series of actions over the past 15 months to strengthen the security of the Visa Waiver Program and ensure the Program’s requirements are commensurate with the growing threat from foreign terrorist fighters, many of whom are nationals of Visa Waiver Program countries.

So Trump and his cabinet have to rely on Obama for these policies? Wow! By the way, Obama has already addressed this mockery.
Barack Obama breaks silence on Trump presidency to condemn migration ban

Last I read Obama and his family is living in Mr. Tees old home in Lincolnshire Illinois..

Wrong, they are still in DC.

Sorry, Trump. America still has laws that are greater than men, and you, asshole, are no man at all.

Sixteen state attorneys general vow to fight President Trump’s executive order for travel bans
16 state attorneys general vow to fight Trump's travel bans

The law is on Trump's side. These are unAmerican rogue AG's. Here is the statute that authorized Trump to initiate the travel ban.
e President has the explicit authority to do so by statute:
8 U.S. Code § 1182 8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

Sorry, Sparky. Note that the law you cite doesn't say inadmissible due to religion. You didn't even read it, did you? You're parroting another dumbass.

You're not smarter than a state AG, you're not even smarter than a pig with lipstick.

Trump's not restricting them because of "religion," he's "temporarily" restricting individuals from those 7 nations that don't have a good vetting process and has made it clear that once more enhanced vetting is in place for those locations, they will resume allowing them in. The basis of the restriction is on the possibility that individuals from those locations may be a danger to the safety of the American people and wants to be sure they are safe to bring in, not a religious restriction. If it were a religious ban, there would be a travel restriction on all 57 Muslim nations, not just seven.

I don't see how the states have a legal standing to sue seeing as how they arent the aggrieved parties.

The U.S. has checks/balances and separation of powers so as to prevent an asshole like Trump from thinking he's the reincarnation of King George III.

Irrelevant. The states are not the aggrieved party and therefore have no standing to sue just like the courts denied Texas the right to sue the Obama administration when they were resettling immigrant children in their state.

Except in that case TX does have standing because it required expenditure of State funds.

And? They are going to lose.

The president has the power to ban immigration from a particular country over security concerns.

Yes, he does. It's in the constitution. Libs have a real problem with anyone wanting to keep Americans safe from radical Islam or illegal aliens.

Bullshit dumbass. If it were about religion then he would have banned all Muslims from America.

Catch a clue sparky.

Yup the constitution and congress approved it.

Folks seem to have forgotten that all the perpetrators of 9-11 were in this country on visas. They killed over 3,000 people many of whom were Americans.
