Resumption of Visa Processing and Clearing the Backlog of Cases in Waiver Processing. Executive Order 13780, and Proclamations 9645, 9723, and 9983 are hereby revoked. Our national security will be enhanced by revoking the Executive Order and Proclamations. 1182(f) and 1185(a), hereby find that it is in the interests of the United States to revoke Executive Order 13780 of Ma(Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States), Proclamation 9645 of Septem(Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats), Proclamation 9723 of Ap(Maintaining Enhanced Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats), and Proclamation 9983 of Janu(Improving Enhanced Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats). BIDEN JR., President of the United States, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. But we will not turn our backs on our values with discriminatory bans on entry into the United States.
And when visa applicants request entry to the United States, we will apply a rigorous, individualized vetting system. Where there are opportunities to strengthen information-sharing with partners, we will pursue them. Make no mistake, where there are threats to our Nation, we will address them. And they have separated loved ones, inflicting pain that will ripple for years to come. They have jeopardized our global network of alliances and partnerships and are a moral blight that has dulled the power of our example the world over. Those actions are a stain on our national conscience and are inconsistent with our long history of welcoming people of all faiths and no faith at all.īeyond contravening our values, these Executive Orders and Proclamations have undermined our national security. Nevertheless, the previous administration enacted a number of Executive Orders and Presidential Proclamations that prevented certain individuals from entering the United States - first from primarily Muslim countries, and later, from largely African countries. The United States was built on a foundation of religious freedom and tolerance, a principle enshrined in the United States Constitution. BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
