00:00U.S. President Donald Trump is resurrecting a travel ban policy from his first term,

00:07signing a proclamation that prevents people from a dozen countries from entering the United States.

00:12He linked the ban to a recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado.

00:16In the 21st century, we've seen one terror attack after another carried out by foreign

00:21visa overstayers from dangerous places all over the world. And thanks to Biden's open door

00:28policies. Today, there are millions and millions of these illegals who should not be in our country.

00:35In my first term, my powerful travel restrictions were one of our most successful policies,

00:41and they were a key part of preventing major foreign terror attacks on American soil.

00:47Some, but not all 12 countries also appeared on the list of banned countries in Trump's first term.

00:53In 2017, Trump issued an executive order banning travel to the U.S. by citizens of

00:58seven predominantly Muslim countries. While that was one of the most chaotic and confusing moments

01:04of his young presidency, he appears to be on firmer ground this time after the Supreme Court sided with

01:09him in 2018.
