Trump's Travel Ban Crisis: Those Affected Reacts. (read More) by ElTommyBlaq(m): 8:04am On Jan 30, 2017 |
“We are treated like we’re terrorists.” “I am so upset.” “I’d rather be imprisoned back home.” President Trump’s ban on immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries has splintered families in the US and all over the world and left them anxiously awaiting what comes next. In recent days CNN has heard from people seeking refuge from war, wives trying to return to their husbands, parents hoping to attend their child’s graduation in the US and many more. Here are their stories. Nashwa Alhoussaini is originally from Damascus, Syria. She was at a protest at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on Sunday, January 29. "I have a lot of family that lives overseas," she said. "I actually have one family member that is trying to get his fiancee over here and we were gonna have her wedding next month, but it's officially been canceled." Babak Seradjeh 39, Iran Seradjeh is an associate professor of physics at the University of Indiana. He was born in Tehran, spent eight years in Canada and currently lives in Bloomington, Indiana. He has dual citizenship -- Iran and Canada. Seradjeh was planning to fly to Tel Aviv on Saturday to meet with his research partner, Eytan Grosfeld, a professor at Ben-Gurion University. “I flew to Newark for my connection, but with all the news of people -- including green card holders and dual nationals -- being turned away, I decided not to take the rest of my trip. I've been rerouted to go back to Indy… This effectively suspends my research trip until further notice. This research is funded partly through the National Science Foundation. It is unclear to me how or when I can take this trip or what other effects the executive order will have on my work.” Raya Bidshahri 21, Iran A student at Boston University, Bidshahri has lived in the United States for three years and considers Boston her home. She fears she will have to leave the country when she graduates in May and her student visa expires. Bidshahri is studying neuroscience and says the university has warned her not to leave the country because she might not be able to re-enter. Her family was planning to attend her graduation, but because they are Iranian they’re now covered by the ban. “Above all, it’s heartbreaking. My family and I have always dreamed of coming to the United States and accomplishing our dreams here. My family put in all of their investments and financial resources to allow me to come here and make things happen. We are treated like we’re terrorists, as if we want to cause trouble when above all we just want to make the United States a better place -- contributing whether it’s through research, studying, or entrepreneurship.” Rafal Thaher 23, Iraq Thaher came to the US five years ago. She didn’t speak a word of English when she arrived, but Lowell, Massachusetts, has become home to her. She works at CVS as a supervisor and is studying business at Middlesex Community College. Her brother and his family are still in Iraq, where he works with a company that protects US military personnel. “I applied for his visa, but he is going to be affected (by this travel ban). We were trying to bring him and his family over here.” Source: http://primebaze.ga/2017/01/30/trump-ban-crisis-faces-trumps-ban/ Read more @ http://primebaze.ga |

He already told us he was going to do this during campaign, so majority voted him in. Well, it is their country, my opinion about how he should run his country won't count, as my Nigeria sef no send me. It reminds me of what someone said on nairaland concerning the affected Muslim countries, he said they prefer going to other countries after unsettling their countries. 1 Like |

Majority voted for him because of the said policies he would implement which implies that majority do not want you in the united states, deal with it... |
