Many of those protesting are objecting to green card holders being blocked entry into the country they are permanent residents of.
People will always protest against things that are more immediately visible to them than things they read about in infrequent news articles. That's just human nature.
- Consultant32452 10y agoNo, people protest against things that the media manipulates them into protesting for. The inflammatory language has been scandalous at best. The media didn't encourage people to protest when Obama and Clinton proudly funded a wall between the US and Mexico in 2006. But now we've had "No Wall" protests in quite a few places and traditional leftists making right-wing supply side economics arguments against renegotiating NAFTA... yet another thing both Clinton and Obama campaigned for in 2008. Make no mistake, this is the butt-hurt media's doing.
