What about Muslims waiting for a green card[1]? Are they "Illegal"? What if you are a non-muslim but just from a "terror prone" country? I'm not smug. I'm scared. Forgive me for not being "nice" to the supporters of a candidate who would strike existential fear in my heart.

- madengr 10y agoWere they granted asylum, then waiting for a green card? If so, they are not illegal. Deportation requires a hearing.
- pj_mukh 10y agoThey need not be refugees either. But Trump's new laws ban the "immigration" of Muslims. This means, a freeze on green-card approvals based on religion. If you don't have a green-card, you have to leave this country. Not all deportations are carried out by ICE. P.S: Green-card applications could be active for over 8 years with no-fault. The system is just that screwed up.
- madengr 10y agoWhat he actually said was: temporarily banning muslims from certain countries known to harbor terrorists. Not sure why you saw "law". Only congress can make laws; not the president. Besides, the 1 st amendment is in his way. There is some precident for banning immigrants from certain countries. Chinese immigration was banned for a time, over 100 years ago.
- pj_mukh 10y agoAnd hopefully we agree that the Chinese immigration ban hass been a black stain on America history, since forever?
