It also imposes heightened restrictions on people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. President Trump is "destroying what this nation stands for," says Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition. "Immigration in the U.S. is an American value." Guerline Jozef, co-founder and executive director of Haitian Bridge Alliance, called on communities to "fight to make sure that people have the right to migrate." The administration is "literally separating families," says Jozef. Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.

If dictator DT doesn’t appreciate living in a democracy he should resign and leave the US . I would if I were him. It just doesn’t make sense to live in a country that you don’t appreciate especially when you have the financial ability to do so. Well I guess that’s just another irrational thing he’s capable of. Or maybe he’s not sharing his personal mental misery with us and wants everyone to join him in anguish like that saying goes MISERY LOVES COMPANY.

1:39 Very telling that those who are being banned and pose no threat to our country, are being banned by the most egregious threat this country has ever faced.
