THERE ARE U.S.TRAVEL BANS FOR THE EAST CARIBBEAN CBI STATES ON THE STATE DEPARTMENT DRAFT LIST


The New York Times and several other major American news media are reporting that the draft list of countries, prepared by the Department of State, in response to President Trump's Executive Order entitled: 

PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES FROM FOREIGN TERRORISTS AND OTHER
NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY THREATS

contains these East Caribbean States that have Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) passport sales (Economic Citizenship) programs:

1. SAINT KITTS & NEVIS.

2. SAINT LUCIA.

3. THE COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA.

4. ANTIGUA & BARBUDA.

Complete mismanagement of the CBI programs of these countries appears to constitute the grounds for their inclusion by blocking the issuance of visas. We have been reporting on the fraud, money laundering and corruption that has infected them for a long time, and which was highlighted by MSR MEDIA in its public announcement, and subsequent litigation against present and former senior government figures, Chinese- controlled sales consultancies and their sub-agents, and affiliates.

The deadline for State to report its list of jurisdictions which it has included in the Travel Ban is this coming week, and the Draft List has been widely circulating, hence its availability. Readers who question whether the grounds for blocking all the nationals from these four EC States is CBI, look closely at the specific terms of the Executive Order; it is precisely the failure of the United States to properly vett CBI/CIP passport holders, whose true legal names and other identifiers may have been altered or changed which makes them a threat . You will notice that the non-CBI caribbean jurisdictions are NOT included on the Travel Ban list.

the bottom line is that the abject failure of the EC States with CBI to properly and legally operate their programs is the reason that all individuals who hold those passports because of their birthright citizenship, and about to pay the price for the misconduct of their corrupt national leaders, and their continued support of the illegal CBI programs.

Taken verbatim from the Times story:

Here is the relevant text of Trump's Executive Order dated 1/20/2025:

PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES FROM FOREIGN TERRORISTS AND OTHER NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY THREATS

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1.  Policy and Purpose.  (a)  It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes.

(b)  To protect Americans, the United States must be vigilant during the visa-issuance process to ensure that those aliens approved for admission into the United States do not intend to harm Americans or our national interests.  More importantly, the United States must identify them before their admission or entry into the United States.  And the United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.

Sec2.  Enhanced Vetting and Screening Across Agencies.

(a)  The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall promptly:

(i)    identify all resources that may be used to ensure that all aliens seeking admission to the United States, or who are already in the United States, are vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible;

(ii)   determine the information needed from any country to adjudicate any visa, admission, or other benefit under the INA for one of its nationals, and to ascertain whether the individual seeking the benefit is who the individual claims to be and that the individual is not a security or public-safety threat;

(iii)  re-establish a uniform baseline for screening and vetting standards and procedures, consistent with the uniform baseline that existed on January 19, 2021, that will be used for any alien seeking a visa or immigration benefit of any kind; and

(iv)   vet and screen to the maximum degree possible all aliens who intend to be admitted, enter, or are already inside the United States, particularly those aliens coming from regions or nations with identified security risks.

(b)  Within 60 days of the date of this order, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall jointly submit to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, a report:

(i)   identifying countries throughout the world for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries pursuant to section 212(f) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)); and

(ii)  identifying how many nationals from those countries have entered or have been admitted into the United States on or since January 20, 2021, and any other information the Secretaries and Attorney General deem relevant to the actions or activities of such nationals since their admission or entry to the United States.

(c)  Whenever information is identified that would support the exclusion or removal of any alien described in subsection 2(b), the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take immediate steps to exclude or remove that alien unless she determines that doing so would inhibit a significant pending investigation or prosecution of the alien for a serious criminal offense or would be contrary to the national security interests of the United States.

Sec. 3.  Additional Measures to Protect the Nation.  As soon as possible, but no later than 30 days from the date of this order, the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, shall also:

(a)  Evaluate and adjust all existing regulations, policies, procedures, and provisions of the Foreign Service Manual, or guidance of any kind pertaining to each of the grounds of inadmissibility listed in sections 212(a)(2)-(3) of the INA (8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(2)-(3)), to ensure the continued safety and security of the American people and our constitutional republic;
