[00:00.08]A court in the United States has ordered a hearing next week
[00:04.64]on President Donald Trump's new executive order on immigration.
[00:10.04]The order suspends the country's refugee admissions program
[00:14.92]and bars entry to people from six countries.
[00:19.16]In all six, most of the population is Muslim.
[00:24.36]Officials in Hawaii have disputed the legality of the order,
[00:29.32]which is to take effect on March 16th.
[00:33.04]The court will hear arguments in the case March 15th.
[00:37.56]The executive order blocks the approval of new U.S. visas
[00:43.08]to citizens of Iran, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan.
[00:51.40]The travel ban will be in effect for 90 days.
[00:56.68]The order also bars refugees from entering the United States for 120 days.
[01:04.36]Trump says the measure is necessary to protect national security.
[01:10.32]He has dismissed critics who say it targets Muslims.
[01:15.40]U.S. federal courts suspended enforcement of an earlier version of the executive order.
[01:22.44]The top law enforcement official in Hawaii said on Monday
[01:27.08]that the new order is just a new version of a Muslim ban.
[01:32.20]State attorney general Doug Chin said
[01:36.20]"under the pretense of national security,
[01:39.32]it still targets immigrants and refugees."
[01:43.92]The executive order says the government must improve its investigation
[01:49.15]of those who seek to enter the United States.
[01:52.76]It says the six countries named in the order have a compromised ability
[01:58.40]to provide the necessary information
[02:01.28]to ensure people entering the U.S. are not a threat.
[02:05.96]Iraq was included in the first executive order,
[02:10.32]but was removed after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said
[02:15.72]his office was in contact with the Iraqi government.
[02:19.64]He said they were working to improve the system
[02:24.08]for investigating the security risk of Iraqi citizens.
[02:29.40]Iraqi Foreign Minister Ahmed Jamal told the Associated Press
[02:34.72]that removing his country from the order will improve cooperation
[02:40.12]in the fight against Islamic State militants.
[02:44.44]Mohamed Naji works for the Sudan Tribune news website in Paris.
[02:50.24]He said officials in Sudan are "furious" about the order
[02:55.12]because they were "involved in a process
[02:58.37]that was supposed to lead to all U.S. sanctions being lifted."
[03:03.96]Naji said that process began during the presidency of George W. Bush.
[03:10.12]He said Sudan "is wondering if there has been a setback in the process,
[03:15.72]especially given that President Trump's executive order
[03:19.68]lists Sudan among states sponsoring terrorism."
[03:24.24]In the United States, several congressional leaders
[03:28.00]have expressed support for the new executive order.
[03:32.08]Trump's Republican Party controls
[03:35.00]both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
[03:39.32]But most Democratic Party lawmakers
[03:42.16]and human rights organizations oppose the measure.
[03:46.32]Some critics called it "racist and anti-Islamic."
[03:51.32]House Speaker Paul Ryan said the order helps to support
[03:56.56]"our shared goal" of protecting the United States.
[04:01.24]Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said
[04:04.68]he believes the new order will not be considered as a religious ban
[04:09.48]and will not be blocked by the courts.
[04:13.04]Reports say the new order was written to deal
[04:16.72]with the concerns of the federal judges who blocked the first order.
[04:21.72]Graham said he believed the new order to be "a ban on individuals
[04:27.92]coming from compromised governments and failed states."
[04:33.20]Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders
[04:35.92]expressed sharp disagreement with Republican supporters of the ban.
[04:40.72]He said the order targets Muslims in "an attempt to divide us up.
[04:45.96]This isn't about keeping America safe.
[04:48.76]A president who respected our traditions of religious freedom
[04:53.24]would not have resorted to hateful, anti-Islamic rhetoric to justify [the] ban."
[05:00.24]The International Rescue Committee provides humanitarian aid
[05:05.12]to 40 countries and has helped resettle refugees in 28 U.S. cities.
[05:12.56]It said the new order is a threat to the 60,000 refugees
[05:18.52]who have already been investigated, but are still in crisis areas.
[05:24.80]The IRC said the American resettlement program
[05:29.32]is considered "the world's most successful and secure."
[05:34.80]It said there has not been a deadly terrorist attack by a refugee in the U.S.
[05:40.92]since the resettlement program began in 1980.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
