that this executive order is racist or targeting a specific religion or group of people, it specifically says how it in-fact is not targeting a specific type of people. This order was made in hopes to not allow any horrible tragedies, like September 11, 2001 and the Boston Marathon Bombing, from ever occurring again.
Unfortunately, the State Department policy prevented consular officers from properly screening and evaluating the visa applications of several of the nineteen foreign nationals who went on to murder nearly three thousand Americans in the September 11 attacks, which is another reason as to why this order is crucial. This bill has both positively and negatively affected the United States of America. It has positively impacted the U.S.A by making the screening process of new immigrants/tourists more in-depth and lengthy. Due to this executive order, numerous foreign-born individuals have been caught and charged in terrorism-related crimes since September 11, 2001, including foreign nationals who entered the United States after receiving student, visitor, employment visas, or who entered through the United States refugee resettlement program. However, just like with anything new, there is backlash and negative reactions to it. The main negative feelings towards the order are because travel has been banned from seven Muslim-majority countries. Now while this is quite an extreme action for both innocent and potentially dangerous people, it is not
permanent. This temporary travel ban has raised some suspicious has to if this type of ban is even legal, which has speaker protests throughout the U.S.A. Also, there are some economic downfalls due to this bill, the United States will lose money because toursits from several different countries will not be allowed in, and also this order does not make the United Sates too favorable in those seven countries, which could cause issues in the near future. However, there have been several provisions in order to make the order the best it can be. The order states that it will not interrupt or affect the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or whoever is in charge. It will also not affect functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals. In addition, provisions say that this order will be consistent with applicable law and subject to change. Lastly, this order does not and does not intend to, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
