> Contextualising this within Trump's ugly rhetoric is another thing entirely and this part subject to interpretation. A different administration could have implemented a policy that limited travel from certain countries without backlash. This one started by -- without warning -- revoking the right to re-enter the country for all legal visa holders from these countries on 1/27/2017, a week after the inauguration, INCLUDING GREEN CARDS.[1] That's a permanent residency visa. People were stranded away from their jobs, homes, families. I was a green card holder not so long ago, and had family in the states on green cards. I felt real fear after the Muslim ban was announced on 1/27/2017. The action seemed calculated to cause as much harm to ordinary people as it could. Policy can be debated, but it's not the policy that is at issue here. It's the disregard bordering on malice. This was just one of many examples, from pardoning Joe Arpaio[2] and separating asylum-seeking families with no plan for re-uniting them,[3] to going looking for decades old citizenships to revoke[4]. I understand that we're too politically weak for anger to work, but I'm only human. It's galling to be told we're the intolerant ones in this situation.
