Sputnik- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that US President Donald Trump's new immigration order poses security risks for the United States and should be repealed.


WASHINGTON (Sputnik)�� The new executive order signed by�Trump on�Monday bans all immigration from�six majority-Muslim countries for�the next 90 days, and bans all refugees from�entering the US for�120 days.


The Department of�Homeland Security explained that for�the next 90 days, foreign nationals from�Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen who are outside�the United States without�a valid entry visa when the order takes effect are not eligible to�travel to�the country.
"A watered down�ban is still a ban. Despite the Administration's changes, this dangerous executive order makes us less safe, not more, it is mean-spirited, and un-American. It must be repealed," Schumer stated.


Schumer argued that the new executive action would be challenged in�the US courts as�the previous version had. The senator added that no editing could change the essential idea of�Trump's order, which could lead to�extreme fear and uncertainty for�thousands of�immigrants.
