"  Today, six years later, al - Issawi is still in Fallujah. He had fled when seized "Daesh" on the city in 2014 because his dealings with US forces was meant inevitable death for him. But he returned to his hometown after restored last year after he last spent money with him in northern Iraq even become unable to pay the rent. He says he is still threatened by the danger of "Daesh" sleeper cells and some of his neighbors who view him with suspicion and consider him a spy, as he put it . The al - Issawi has reached the final stages in the migration process when Trump signed the executive order, which now is not sure he will be able to travel.  Issawi says , "how much I regret because I worked with them , risking my life and the lives of my family."  Although the meaning of the Executive Order, signed by Trump is ostensibly to protect US national security , some say it will backfire counterproductive effects. In the last Monday of Islamic Cooperation, which includes 57 countries, including the seven countries covered by the travel ban Organization crossed, what it called "deep concern."  In its statement , the organization said that such measures based on selective discrimination will not only serve the hard - line rhetoric Altpartya embraced him and pays lip service to the terrorists and strengthen, this will save more fuel for the instigators of violence and terrorism. The organization has urged the United States to reconsider this comprehensive decision and maintain its commitment to the moral and assume the role of leadership and the laying of hope in a time of world they live great doubts and instability.  Ethiopia 's expectation chairman of the African Union , which includes 54 countries that the African continent will experience a turbulent period because of the action taken by Trump. It is known that three of the countries that signed the ban African, are Sudan, Libya and Somalia, as well as Iraq, Syria, Iran and Yemen.  AU chief said , "Nkosazana Dlamini - Zuma , " speaking to the leaders who met in Addis Ababa , Ethiopia: "Today decided the same country , which was taking the sons of our people as slaves in the slave trade across the Atlantic time that prevents him from heading the refugees some of our countries."  In Tokyo , a group of about 40 American demonstration near the US embassy to protest against the decision to ban Trump and his intention to travel on the construction of a wall along the border with Mexico. The protesters carried banners reading , "I stand with the Muslims" and "injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere."  US lawyer says , "Jesse Glekshtaan", a grandson of one of the survivors of the Nazi concentration camps and organizer of the demonstration: "We have hit us all despair, so we felt the need to raise our voices."  And raise the Rabbi "David Kunin," the leader of the Jewish community in Japan, a sign saying: "No ban on Muslims." He added: "This ban is incompatible with the constitution and contradicts all the values represented by the United States, so all the peoples of different faiths and religions to stand up and say no to a ban on Muslims not to the wall nor the violence that has its source of hatred and fear. Fear does not build a better world, but he does love The peace that. "  If applied corresponding visa restrictions against the Americans it could affect thousands of contractors who provide backing for US troops in Iraq. Where the US military relies heavily on contractors for the purposes of logistical support and secure some facilities. About four thousand contractor as well as working for the Iraqi Ministry of Defense more than half of them American citizens, as well as thousands of others provide backing for operations carried out by the government of  America.  But officials in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq has refused to comment on the ban , which would affect the Iraqi Kurds as well. The Trump has expressed his support for the Kurds in an interview with The New York Times before the elections in November month he a fan of those forces.  Saadi Ahmed Pira head of external relations at the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan ( PUK ) said: "We Kurds are fighting terrorism, and the US government knows this." Adding that he did not see the executive order directed against the decision of the Kurds but minuteness generalized decision.  Saadi resuming goes on : "We do not believe that it will prevent terrorism, and we believe that that cooperation is preventing him after the military defeat terrorism by tackling its sources in the fields of ideological and financial."  Iraqi officials have repeatedly expressed their feelings Balamadadh because Trump included a ban on Iraq while excluded other countries such as Saudi Arabia , which was responsible for its citizens to commit attacks on US soil. It is noteworthy that the majority of Saudi citizens were among the hijackers of planes used to carry and which referred to in September 2001 Trump ordered 11 attacks.  As Trump himself has rejected all criticism of his decision , stressing that this policy is a fundamental necessity in uprooting the terrorists. He said in a tweet on his account on Twitter on Monday: "Find all the terrorists before their entry into our country is not something nice, but it is an important part of my campaign.

US DoD welcomes decision to allow entry of Iraqis on special visas

February 04 2017 12:01 AM

US Defense Secretary James Mattis

 

Defense Department officials have welcomed a decision from the U.S. government to allow Iraqi translators and interpreters with special documentation to travel to the United States, a Pentagon spokesman has said.

 

"We are pleased that the U.S. government has determined that it's in the national interest to allow Iraqi special immigrant visa holders to continue to travel to the United States," Navy Capt. Jeff Davis told Pentagon reporters.

The Defense Department further welcomes that embassies and consulates overseas will continue to process and issue special immigrant visas to qualified applicants, including Iraqis who worked with the U.S. armed forces in Iraq, Davis said.

The Iraqis, as well as other local partners around the world, provide services that are mission critical to the Defense Department, Davis said.

 

"These partnerships are vital to the success of all our military efforts, and in many cases [these are] people who've worked and put themselves in great personal risk in doing so," Davis said.

"A lot of people who serve, a lot of people in military who currently serve, a lot of our veterans owe their lives to these people, literally, and we want to make sure that that is taken into account when they face the U.S. immigration process," he added.

President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order last week that halts entry of immigrants and nonimmigrants from seven countries, including Iraq, into the United States for 90 days, excluding foreign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, NATO visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas.

Davis said DoD officials are working with State Department and Department of Homeland Security officials to "review potential impacts of the executive order on our partners and our operations" and to "determine if there are additional ways we can provide assistance to our proven partners from the affected countries."

U.S. service members are able to travel on their assigned military missions without impact, he said. "As for family members," he said, "we're working closely with the State Department and DHS to help them grant case-by-case waivers where necessary for their travel, if a family member happens to be somebody from one of these countries."

The seven countries in the executive order are Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Master Yota, have I ever told you how much I love you.  I have said for a long time that Arabs have NEVER gone into any country and not begun to kill the population of that country. My fellow Marine is 1000% correct, if you would kill me in your own country simply for trying to help you, why would I let you into my country with easy access to more Americans?
