00:00The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas.
00:16We don't want them.
00:17In the 21st century, we've seen one terror attack after another carried out by foreign visa overstayers from dangerous places all over the world.
00:27And thanks to Biden's open door policies, today there are millions and millions of these illegals who should not be in our country.
00:36In my first term, my powerful travel restrictions were one of our most successful policies, and they were a key part of preventing major foreign terror attacks on American soil.
00:48We will not let what happened in Europe happen to America.
00:52That's why on my first day back in office, I directed the Secretary of State to perform a security review of high-risk regions and make recommendations for where restrictions should be imposed.
01:06Among the national security threats, their analysis considered are the large-scale presence of terrorists, failure to cooperate on visa security, inability to verify travelers' identities, inadequate record-keeping of criminal histories, and persistently high rates of illegal visa overstays and other things.
01:30Very simply, we cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter the United States.
01:42That is why today I am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya, and numerous others.
01:54The strength of the restrictions we're applying depends on the severity of the threat posts.
02:01The list is subject to revision based on whether material improvements are made, and likewise, new countries can be added as threats emerge around the world.
02:12But we will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm, and nothing will stop us from keeping America safe.
02:21Thank you very much.
