Five of the seven countries included in Pres. Trump’s Jan. 27 executive order are on the list of recalcitrant countries who refuse to repatriate deported aliens, and the administration could block the issuance of new visas to these countries under current law, according to the Immigration Reform Law Institute. Additionally, an earlier executive order signed by Pres. Trump called for blocking visas to recalcitrant countries.
Pres. Trump could instruct DHS Secretary, Gen. John Kelly, to issue an official notification against Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Sudan, which are currently on the list of ‘uncooperative’ countries and the State Department would immediately halt visas from those terror hot spots.
“Each of these countries either cannot or are unwilling to take back their citizens, all of whom have either violated our immigration laws or committed crimes against our own. For that reason alone, the Trump administration can and should put a complete halt to their visa privileges. In fact, the law requires it,” said Ian Smith, investigative associate at the Immigration Reform Law Institute.
