In a little-noticed move recently, President Donald Trump’s administration reversed a policy adopted by his predecessor that made it easier for foreigners with terrorism ties to get into the United States.

Former President Barack Obama’s administration had instructed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers to withhold decisions — and give the Homeland Security secretary an opportunity to grant a waiver — regarding certain foreigners who otherwise would be inadmissible under U.S. law.

A policy memo issued in 2009 instructed USCIS officers to withhold decisions in four categories of foreigners to give the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security an opportunity to decide whether or not to grant an exemption. Those categories were:

•Foreigners who were inadmissible based on any activity or association related to a terrorist organization that had not been specifically designated by the U.S. government. The memo gave the officer discretion to grant an exemption to applicants who had been part of groups no longer considered terrorism organizations. •Foreigners who were inadmissible based on activity or association with a named or unnamed terrorism organization where the support was provided under duress. •Foreigners who voluntarily provided medical care to terrorists. •The children and spouses of foreigners who were inadmissible on terrorism-related grounds.

Trump Tightens Rules on Immigrants with Terrorism Ties

We know that President Trump is going to do everything in his power to protect American Citizens.

Anybody who has terrorism ties should be banned for life from coming into this country's borders period.

The America Hating, Piece of Work, Imposter Obama did everything in his power to do American citizens harm. This proves that Obama is really a Mooselimb.

No worries. I’m sure a judge will come along and remind POTUS that foreign national terrorists are entitled to due process.
