Eh, that might be overestimating the state of immigration in the U.S. pre-Trump. In particular people from the countries in the EO were already subject to a lot of grief, especially if they had a non-immigrant visa. I've known people who got stuck outside the country and missed a semester because they went to Canada while they had an F-1 visa.
Not that making it predictably horrible isn't, well, horrible. And the green card thing is sheer lunacy.
- grey-area 10y agoYes, it probably is not so surprising to people exposed 1st hand to the arbitrary system previously, the more extreme measures have just been a wake up call for those unaffected by it. It was horrible before, but I think rescinding green cards arbitrarily and en masse takes it to a new level, I'm glad it is shining some light on these procedures and making people think about why those arbitrary restrictions are in place based on place of birth.
