so this is literally part of what’s happening in the US right now
If you are originally from one of the countries in Trump’s ban and moved to the US, got greencards, and decided to go on a vacation recently, you won’t be allowed back in the US. Permanent residents are being effectively kicked out.
Lemme just say that again. You could have lived in the US for years, possibly moved here as a child and grown up here, and been vacationing in fucking Canada, and you won’t be allowed back. All because you were born in a country trump deemed dangerous.
You guys. If you came to the US from one of the listed countries as an INFANT, grew up here, and decided to study abroad this semester in another country, YOU CURRENTLY CANT COME BACK HOME.
If you are MARRIED to a US citizen and only have a green card and haven’t gotten citizenship yet, you can’t come back if you’re outside the US. You could have kids waiting for you, but you can’t come back.
People who served our country for over a decade, people whose lives are at risk if they head back to the middle east, people fleeing violence and death, a mother coming back to her family from a business trip, and some kid coming back from visiting their grandparents could all be currently sitting in detaining rooms in US airports because our xenophobic piece of shit president is scared of Muslims.
@thebibliosphere idk if this applies but be careful
It does. This is why we scrambled to get our lawyer back after he was elected. It’s why I won’t be able to go home again this year. It’s why I’ll be missing weddings, christenings, my own 30th birthday with my family. It’s why my family can’t come see me. For however long it takes for this law to be repealed.
Because of fear, and hatred. And I’m not even the demographic being targeted. So I say again, if you think this, all of the things happening right now don’t concern you just cause you’re not one of “those” people, I got news for you: you’re people.
And this is going to affect all of us.
Just some sooner than others.
