The Trump administration is considering issuing sweeping travel restrictions for the citizens of dozens of countries as part of a new ban, according to sources familiar with the matter and an internal memo seen by Reuters.

The memo lists a total of 41 countries divided into three separate groups.

The first group of 10 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba and North Korea among others, would be set for a full visa suspension.

In the second group, five countries — Eritrea, Haiti, Laos, Myanmar and South Sudan — would face partial suspensions that would impact tourist and student visas as well as other immigrant visas, with some exceptions.

In the third group, a total of 26 countries that includes Belarus, Pakistan and Turkmenistan among others would be considered for a partial suspension of US visa issuance if their governments “do not make efforts to address deficiencies within 60 days,” the memo said.

A US official speaking on the condition of anonymity cautioned there could be changes on the list and that it was yet to be approved by the administration, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The New York Times first reported on the list of countries.

Pedo Pete could've done this. But he didn't.

“Pedo Pete could’ve done this. But he didn’t.”

You are a very insensitive person. Don’t you realize he gave birth to a child and needed to spend quality time breast feeding the kid and really didn’t have time for this stuff, as motherhood came first? Hah? /s/

Seriously, I’m so happy the mental illness that infested the federal government is on its way out the door.

Um I think Pedo Pete is a nick given to Joe Biden not Buttigeig although they both fit I guess.

I would like to see the Haitians being given special treatment.
Move them to the front of the deportation line.
