"President Trump’s executive order on immigration quickly reverberated through the United States and across the globe on Saturday, slamming the border shut for an Iranian scientist headed to a lab in Boston, an Iraqi who had worked as an interpreter for the United States Army, and a Syrian refugee family headed to a new life in Ohio, among countless others.

Around the nation, security officers at major international gateways had new rules to follow. Humanitarian organizations scrambled to cancel long-planned programs, delivering the bad news to families who were about to travel. Refugees who were airborne on flights when the order was signed were detained at airports.

Reports rapidly surfaced Saturday morning of students attending American universities who were blocked from getting back into the United States from visits abroad. One student said in a Twitter post that he would be unable to study at Yale. Another who attends the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was refused permission to board a plane. Stanford University was reportedly working to help a Sudanese student return to California.

Human rights groups reported that legal permanent residents of the United States who hold green cards were being stopped in foreign airports as they sought to return from funerals, vacations or study abroad — a clear indication that Mr. Trump’s directive is being applied broadly."
 
It's ironic that 9/11 is used to justify all this fear from middle America considering the terrorists targeted two places they hate the most, New York City and Washington, DC.
 
That's the whole bullshit about fearing immigrants, refugees, terrorists or anyone different than them considering none of those groups of people congregate where they live. Instead those liberal cesspools called cities apparently vote against their own safety since that's where those groups of people live.
 
A YAZIDI REFUGEE, STRANDED AT THE AIRPORT BY TRUMP

She was frustrated, but was certain the approval would come. In the hierarchy of risks, she was a Yazidi woman, married to a former interpreter who now lived in America. It was hard to conjure a more vulnerable situation.

At 11:36 p.m., Mohammed, an Iraqi who now lives in Los Angeles after helping Americans during the war, texted to say he had an emergency. His father had had a problem at the airport in Qatar. He’d left Baghdad that morning on a tourist visa, planning to visit Mohammed, but had just been blocked at the gate of his connecting flight. An American Embassy official had come into the terminal to tell him his visa was no longer valid.

“He said Trump cancelled it and he needs to go back to Iraq. Is this true?” Mohammed asked. “He’s a seventy-one-year-old senior.” He was confused, since his aunt and uncle had just arrived at LAX a few hours earlier.

This is, perhaps, what the President and his advisers intended, with the brutal speed of the order’s implementation. For years, we’ve been told that government was inefficient, sloppy, and slow to react, but within minutes, it found a way to implement one of the most draconian refugee policies in our history.
 
JFK protest live videos on Facebook are inspiring. Best chant Ive heard was "no ban, no registry,fuck white supremacy!"

Only applies to the people who have actually arrived. Not to people abroad who are being stopped from coming.

Well I'm going to anyway. My dad and grandparents came here as refugees. They lived the American dream. I've seen firsthand how refugees can contribute to making our country great. We wouldn't be the country we are today without them.
