The order would also block the entry of refugees and immigrants from a number of majority Muslim countries, including Syria.<\/p>\n<p>During the presidential campaign, Trump called for a complete ban on Muslim immigration into the US. He played up fears over the admittance of a few thousand Syrian refugees displaced by the years-long civil war in that country fueled by the Obama administration.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview with David Muir, during which the president adopted the tone of a mafia boss, Trump expounded on his planned immigration restrictions. \u201cIt&#8217;s going to be very hard to come in. Right now, it&#8217;s very easy to come in. It\u2019s gonna be very, very hard.\u201d Trump also declared that he plans to \u201cabsolutely do safe zones in Syria for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coinciding with Trump\u2019s interview, a draft of the draconian and unconstitutional executive order, billed as a measure for \u201cprotecting the nation from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals,\u201d was leaked to the media.<\/p>\n<p>The order would suspend immigration to the US from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Sudan and Somalia for 30 days and suspend the admittance of individuals under the US Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days. The admission of refugees from Syria into the US will be suspended indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>Several caveats would allow for the entry of refugees from Syria and the other countries on a case by case basis as well as allow the processing and admittance of religious minorities, i.e&#8230;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wsws.org\/en\/articles\/2017\/01\/27\/syri-j27.html\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 White House to issue executive order on \u201csafe zones\u201d in Syria, ban on Muslim immigrants and refugees By Niles Niemuth 27 January 2017 US President Donald Trump declared in an extended interview with ABC News broadcast Wednesday that he will sign an executive order directing authorities to implement US controlled \u201csafe zones\u201d in Syria.
