United States House of Representatives has condemned the decision of President Donald Trump to extend his administration’s travel ban that will affect Nigeria and some other countries.

Trump signed the original travel ban on January 27, 2017, just a week into his tenure. The ban was upheld by the US Supreme Court on June 26, 2018.

It affected Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela and North Korea.

For the new restrictions, countries on the list include Belarus, Myanmar (also known as Burma), Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania.

On Monday, Democrats said that the House of Representatives will soon consider legislation that would repeal the travel ban and limit the president from imposing future restrictions, Reuters reports.

House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi said the House will consider the “NO BAN Act” which would overturn the ban and prevent the president from establishing future restrictions unless the administration provides strong evidence to justify it in consultation with the Congress.

“House Democrats continue to stand opposed to President Trump’s cruel, un-American travel ban in all of its iterations.

“In the coming weeks, the House Judiciary Committee will mark up and bring to the floor the NO BAN Act to prohibit religious discrimination in our immigration system and limit the president’s ability to impose such biased and bigoted restrictions,” Pelosi said in a statement.

Democratic Senator, Chris Coons, one of the authors of the NO BAN Act denounced what he called the “intentional use of cruelty” in the Trump’s administration’s immigration policy and said the Muslim ban was based on “prejudice, populism and discrimination”, rather than fact or security considerations.

“Our whole effort in introducing this legislation and trying to move it forward is to say our Supreme Court got it wrong,” Coons told reporters.

Funny Nigerians, your politicians are dual citizens, they would only travel with the other passport.

Just because you cannot travel, you shouldn't make it difficult for others.

He's your guy, talk to him one on one.

See above the way our people are tackling the woman for standing up against the president decision,
But this set of people are among those calling Nigerians senator and representatives rubber stamp

This woman is fighting the good fight. You can’t imagine the bunch of uneducated adults we have in this county; no wonder our country is like this. The travel ban is not only about traveling to the United States but it’s about our image; our value; our standard. Whether you like it or not it’s a bad omen.
This will definitely affect every average Nigerian. But it’s sad we don’t have active leaders that suppose to stand and send all Americans away and cut all ties with them. It’s a total embarrassment to our nation.

For this reason, God will raise up men of worth to come to the challenge; wen the table turns America will pay for it God willing.

Yes but bear it in mind America will lose the power one day... no country can rule the world forever. Nigeria is a threat because we are talented.

Nigerians are really shameless.

I don't really fancy America to that extent

I can only go there for vacation

Canada & some European countries is by far better than America
