Trump curbs immigrants from 6 nations in election-year push
Officials said immigrants from Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar [Rohingya?], Eritrea, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania [40%] will face new restrictions in obtaining certain visas to come to the United States. But it is not a total travel ban, unlike [?] President Donald Trump's earlier effort that generated outrage around the world for targeting Muslims.
How so? Are these nations not "mostly muslim"?
Kyrgyzstan [6M], Myanmar [54M], Eritrea and Nigeria would have all immigrant visas suspended... They include visas for people sponsored by FAMILY members or EMPLOYERS as well as the DIVERSITY VISA program ...lottery.
[...]
Sudan [43M] and Tanzania [54M] will have DIVERSITY VISAS suspended.
and?
Sudan and Kyrgyzstan are majority-Muslim countries. Nigeria [200M] ... is about evenly split between Christians and Muslims but has the world's fifth-largest population of Muslim
