President Donald J. Trump
Statement Regarding Recent
Executive Order Concerning
Extreme Vetting
“America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion
to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and
border. America has always been the land of the free and home of the brave. We
will keep it free and keep it safe, as the media knows, but refuses to say. My policy
is similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees
from Iraq for six months. The seven countries named in the Executive Order are the
same countries previously identified by the Obama administration as sources of
terror. To be clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting. This is
not about religion - this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over
40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by
this order. We will again be issuing visas to all countries once we are sure we have
reviewed and implemented the most secure policies over the next 90 days. I have
tremendous feeling for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in
Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve our country, but as
President I will find ways to help all those who are suffering.”
