I have read the full text of the EO and I couldn't find any reference to this applied to GC holders. Can you please point me to the paragraph or item in the EO

I have read the full text of the EO and I couldn't find any reference to this applied to GC holders. Can you please point me to the paragraph or item in the EO where it mentions this?

I'm pretty sure that entry using a Green Card is an "Immigration Benefit".

  Yeah issuing/renewing a GC constitutes an "Immigration Benefit" but denying the entry of a GC holder should not be covered by this EO. DISCLAIMER: Not a lawyer or even paralegal. Take this opinion of mine with a grain of salt.

    The ability to reenter the US without a Visa or entry permit is a benefit of the Green Card. Those benefits have been suspended.

      Another benefit of holding a green card: Global taxation on all global income, paid to the USA and enforced globally via FATCA: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/corporations/foreign-account-tax-compliance-act-fatca https://www.irs.gov/businesses/corporations/foreign-account-... There are numerous permanent residents who pay (or are forced to pay) US taxes on all global income, for the privilege of holding a Green Card and being a permanent resident.

Section 3(c) of the EO says > I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 90 days from the date of this order (excluding those foreign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas). Therefore, it excludes everyone from those countries apart from the mentioned exceptions. The exception list does not include a GC holder. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/us/politics/refugee-muslim-executive-order-trump.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/us/politics/refugee-musli...

  I must say that I was stunned to read about these reports as I was thinking that the worst part of this despicable EO was singling out Syrian refugees for an indefinite ban from entering the US followed by the fake concern for the welfare of women and religious minorities in the ME by instructing the AG to publicly shaming wife beaters only of foreign nationals but to deny entry to legal permanent resident who went through all the vetting procedures and hoops is just equally despicable as banning Syrian refugees indefinitely.
