President Donald Trump's executive immigration order

[Kabira]

People holding so-called green cards, making them legal permanent United States residents, are included in President Donald Trump's executive action temporarily barring people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, a Department of Homeland security spokeswoman said on Saturday.

"It will bar green card holders," Gillian Christensen, acting Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in an email.

US President Donald Trump signed a sweeping new executive order Friday to suspend refugee arrivals and impose tough new controls on travellers from seven Muslim countries.

Making good on one of his most controversial campaign promises, and to the horror of human rights groups, Trump said he was making America safe from “radical Islamic terrorists”.

“This is big stuff,” he declared at the Pentagon, after signing an order entitled: “Protection of the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.”

Trump's decree suspends the entire US refugee resettlement programme for at least 120 days while tough new vetting rules are established.

These new protocols will “ensure that those approved for refugee admission do not pose a threat to the security and welfare of the United States”. In addition, it specifically bars Syrian refugees from the US indefinitely, or until the president himself decides that they no longer pose a threat.

Meanwhile, no visas will be issued for 90 days to migrants or visitors from seven mainly-Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Interesting Thiel sought New Zealand citizenship given that he supported Donald Trump's presidency and his policy to cut corporate taxes and reduce regulations. Nevertheless, under the Obama Administration, US saw the highest number of its citizens renounce their citizenship and move elsewhere, mostly for financial reasons. The same could happen under Trump.

It's not only rich Americans. Looks like Jack Ma may be a future resident as many of his colleagues have fled China to live there.

Chinese billionaire Jack Ma keen on buying a house in NZ
China's richest man, Alibaba online shopping founder Jack Ma, says he'd like to buy a home in New Zealand.

Ma - who's worth around $50 billion - met with John Key in Beijing late yesterday.
Standing alongside the Prime Minister, he heaped praise on the country, which he says is loved by many Chinese.

Ma says at least 20 of his colleagues in their 40s have retired to New Zealand.

He says they all say it's the people and the beauty of the country that attracted them.

We've got a Loon in office, possibly a dictator in making, with control over some nukes and speaks and acts like Duterte.

That's very funny indeed.

WASHINGTON: People holding so-called green cards, making them legal permanent U.S. residents, are included in President Donald Trump´s executive action temporarily barring people from seven Muslim countries from entering the United States, a Department of Homeland security spokeswoman said on Saturday.


"It will bar green card holders," Gillian Christensen, acting Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in an email.

This is a golden opportunity for the Muslim world to put aside their internal differences and unite to face off a bully. Pakistan, GCC, Turkey, Egypt and Indonesia should stand up for their brothers and say if you ban one of us you ban us all. Threaten to expel all US embassies and military bases, suspend all cooperation and of course Egypt should erase the border with Gaza allowing weapons or whatever to flow freely. If they did that this insult to the Muslim community would be quickly reversed and profusely apologized for.

But alas, who am I kidding? The Muslim nations are too busy fighting each other so they'll continue to be played off one against the other and endure humiliation after humiliation. Useless.

Story highlights
People from nations under Trump's temporary ban will not be allowed into the US even if they are lawful permanent residents
The nations are all predominantly Muslim
Washington (CNN)The US government will not automatically allow green card holders who traveled to countries placed under a temporary travel ban back into the United States, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Instead, those travelers will have to apply for a waiver to the executive order that instituted the ban, the sources said. When they land, they will be taken into a secondary screening process to determine their eligibility.
The countries targeted by Trump's executive order include the Muslim-majority nations of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen.

Green card holders already overseas seeking to return to their homes in the US will be processed through a waiver authority that has already been established.
One official said there is a case-by-case admissions process and another said it is being done "expeditiously."
People from the seven countries who have green cards -- a government document granting permanent residence in the US -- should not leave the country because they may not be allowed back in the US, one source familiar with the matter said.
Trump's immigration ban sends shockwaves
There's been significant confusion over the precise terms of Trump's executive order since he signed it Friday afternoon, particularly over how it pertained to visa holders who are traveling and if any different treatment was afforded to green card holders.
Exemptions will be at the discretion of the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, and criteria for exemptions include refugee status for religious minorities facing persecution, if denying admission would cause undue hardship or if not doing so would not pose a risk to the security or welfare of the US.

Those traveling without a green card who landed in the United States after the order was signed would be detained and put back on a flight to their country of citizenship, an administration official told CNN.
Separately, Department of Homeland Security officials acknowledged people who were in the air would be detained upon arrival and put back on a plane to their home country. A couple dozen people were held overnight at US airports, an official familiar with the matter told CNN.
Two men who had been granted visas filed suit after being detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, although neither was a green card holder and instead entering under visas tied to their involvement with the US military in Iraq.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Saturday it would ban travelers from the United States in response to Trump's temporary ban.
