Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has called for "extreme vetting" of immigrants to the US.
During a foreign policy speech in the swing state of Ohio, Mr Trump said the proposal would require a temporary halt in immigration from dangerous regions of the world.
He said that under his presidency, the State Department and Homeland Security Department would create a list of blacklisted regions for travel to the US.
Mr Trump, who has previously pledged to ban Muslims from entering the US, vowed to block those who sympathise with extremist groups or who fail to embrace American values.
His campaign aides said a new ideological test for admission to the US would vet applicants for their stance on issues such as religious freedom, gender equality and gay rights.
