On Sunday, the Trump administration announced an expansion of travel bans on eight new countries. The band will go into effect on October 18th. These new countries are Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yeme and the rules vary by country. This new ban is set to replace the old one signed earlier in this year. Trump stated that these new rules were: "A critical step toward establishing an immigration system that protects Americans' safety and security in an era of dangerous terrorism and transnational crime." Supporters of this act will state that the Trump administrations are just doing all they can to "make America safe again" and preserve national security. While the opposition like The Fourth Circuit court of Appeals, believes that the ban was "likely unconstitutional" and "drips with religious intolerance"
Do you think that the new travel bans are necessary for national security? How is this beneficial? How will these countries react and what will the backlash be like?
