Analyzing the Impact of US Travel Restrictions on Global Security

US Measures Violating Human Rights and Security

These measures are affecting international security and violate fundamental human rights. The consequences include:

• Violation of the right to free movement.
• Violation of the right to life.
• Violation of the right to Due Process and Equal Protection.
• Violation of the right to non-discrimination.
• Violation of freedom of religion, among others.

A key example is the effective ban on entry into the United States for persons from Muslim-majority nations. More than 100,000 people are suffering serious consequences due to this decision.

Justification for Denying Entry to Foreigners

According to Dan McLaughlin in the National Review, "Foreigners have no right under our Constitution to demand entry into the United States or to defy any reason we have for denying entry, including obvious religious discrimination." Proponents of the ban argue that the acts committed by some extremists are harmful to the interests of the United States.

Proposed Solution: Non-Discriminatory Refugee Control

One solution to this measure is for the United States to implement a non-discriminatory control system for people who are refugees or exiles. This system must ensure that individuals are not associated with terrorists based solely on their race or religion, thus determining their fitness to enter the United States without negatively affecting their migratory status.

Disruption of International Interests and Sovereignty

The actions taken disrupt the interests and sovereignty of many States. It is crucial to study strategies, potentially through the creation of a new international system, that can help execute projects defending democratic values globally.

The Obligation to Defend Human Rights

As citizens, we are at a critical moment where society, the media, and international organizations have the obligation to raise their voices in defense of human rights. We must design means to generate conditions where people whose rights are violated by the actions taken by the US administration can defend themselves, thereby helping to end this growing phenomenon.

Confronting US Policy: A Call for Proactive Action

Finally, “social actors, governmental or non-governmental politicians, must prepare themselves to face the worst scenario and thus remove the effect through proactive actions and confront the US government” (HRW, 2016) regarding the temporary decisions that this administration poses to the peoples, nations, and some of the governments.
