    In a proclamation by President Donald J. Trump, he declared that the situation at the U.S. southern border is an "invasion" under the U.S. Constitution. As a response, he has ordered the temporary suspension of entry for certain aliens who cross the southern border, due to concerns over public health, safety, and national security. The proclamation cites the President's authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act and the Constitution to deny entry and impose restrictions on individuals who do not meet specific criteria. This action aims to address the challenges posed by the influx of illegal aliens and protect the interests of the United States.

    The proclamation issued by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on January 25, 2021, restricts entry into the United States for noncitizens who have been in specific countries recently affected by COVID-19, such as the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Brazil, and South Africa. This decision is based on the guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect public health due to new virus strains circulating in these regions. There are exceptions, including for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain others, like spouses and children of U.S. citizens or lawful residents, as well as individuals involved in virus containment. The proclamation aims to prevent further spread of the virus into the United States and will stay in effect until modified or terminated by the President.

    Simple Explanation

    President Biden made a rule to keep people from certain countries, where a lot of people are sick, from coming to the U.S. This helps keep everyone safe from getting sick, but it doesn’t apply to U.S. citizens and their families.
