The proclamation titled "Ending Discriminatory Bans on Entry to the United States" issued by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. aims to repeal previous measures that restricted entry from specific countries, primarily targeting Muslim and African nations. These actions are seen as inconsistent with American values and detrimental to national security and international relations. The proclamation revokes various executive orders and proclamations, instructs the resumption of visa processing, and outlines steps to address the backlog in visa processing. It also calls for a review and enhancement of screening and vetting procedures to ensure they are fair and effective, without compromising security and information-sharing with international partners.
Simple Explanation
The document is about President Biden saying people from some countries, who were previously not allowed to come to the U.S., can now come because he wants everyone to be treated fairly. He's also making sure checking people who want to come is still safe but also fair.
