President Donald J. Trump has reinstated and expanded a stringent national security measure to prevent dangerous individuals from entering the United States. Starting Monday, a travel ban will be imposed on 12 high-risk nations, with additional restrictions on seven others. This decisive action echoes the bold policies of his first term — and comes at a time when the safety of American citizens demands clear, uncompromising leadership.
The ban targets countries that either harbor terrorism, have broken immigration systems, or refuse to take back their nationals. Trump’s list includes Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, and Haiti — nations with sky-high visa overstay rates and unreliable vetting processes. Others like Venezuela and Cuba face restrictions due to hostile regimes and national security threats.
“This is about keeping America safe,” Trump stated in a video message. “We’re not going to sit back while dangerous individuals exploit our broken borders. If a country can’t vet its people or won’t cooperate with us, we’re not going to invite the risk.”
The announcement comes just days after a terror attack in Boulder — a tragic reminder of what’s at stake. The suspect had overstayed his visa, highlighting the urgent need for tighter immigration enforcement.
Despite predictable outrage from the open-borders lobby and international NGOs, Trump remains unapologetic. “We don’t want them,” he said plainly, referring to those who threaten American values and security.
While critics cry foul, patriots across the country see this for what it is: a return to strong leadership, unapologetic sovereignty, and common-sense immigration enforcement.
Once again, Trump proves he’s not afraid to do what it takes to protect the homeland.
