President of the United States of America, USA, Donald Trump
says the executive order banning citizens of seven countries from entering the
US was aimed at curbing terrorism.
Recall that Trump while announcing the erection of a wall
along the US-Mexico border, had declared a ban on some Islamic countries.
Trump noted that the policy was similar to the one
implemented by his predecessor, Barack Obama in 2011.
“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.”
