I don't want to go on vacation and then find I can't get back into America (where I have a job, a mortgage, a spouse, a social network and have lived for the past 9 years) because Trump suddenly took a dislike to my country of origin.
I'm not even from a Muslim country, but we have some Muslims, and plenty of non-white people, so given that Bannon was partly behind the EO and is openly white nationalist, who knows?
- matwood 10y agoI don't know the future, but it is important to remember that the list of countries came from a failed nation list made by congress and the Obama administration (they also included Iran) [1]. Trump did not just pull it out of the air. Green cards are also permanent residences so legally that is much harder to stop than not extending or granting new visas. With that said, I'm against it and think it is bad policy on many fronts.

- serge2k 10y ago> Green cards are also permanent residences so legally that is much harder to stop than not extending or granting new visas. Is it? I thought Trump had broad authority when it comes to who can cross the border (so your green card is still good, but no you can't come in).
- nikdaheratik 10y agoYou are not overreacting. It's unnerving that a two-week old administration isn't willing to listen to anyone in their own government, or in our allies, and just thinks they know best. If they had people with experience, they'd understand just how much this policy messes with people's lives, and for no real benefit.
