Donald Trump Says His Order To Bar Refugees And Travelers Is Working Out Very Nicely
Source: Huffington Post
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump, like many people around the world, has seen reports about whats happening at airports in the aftermath of his executive order that left refugees, immigrants and other travelers unable to enter the United States.
He thinks its going great.
Its working out very nicely, Trump said of his executive order on Saturday. You see it at the airports, you see it all over.
The president signed the order on Friday to bar all refugees from entering the U.S. for 120 days, keep out Syrian refugees indefinitely, and restrict travel for individuals from seven countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The ban applies even to green card holders from those countries who reside in the United States: They may now be admitted only on a case-by-case basis. It also applies to dual-nationals of one of the seven countries and another nation.

Dr. Asgari, a specialist in human genomics and genetics of infectious diseases, holds a doctorate from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland. She authors papers with titles like, Disease-Corrected Hepatocyte-Like Cells from Familial Hypercholesterolemia-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, and has given lectures on how rare genetic defects might make infants more susceptible to viral respiratory infections.

Last May, Soumya Raychaudhuri (PhD, MD), an associate professor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, attended a talk by Dr. Asgari at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. Dr. Raychaudhuris lab studies the basis of autoimmune disease using techniques in human genetics, bioinformatics, and systems biology, so both he and Dr. Asgari work in related fields.
He was impressed enough with her talk that he invited Dr. Asgari to work on a tuberculosis project at his laboratory. Dr. Asgari agreed, and was granted a J-1 Visa to work in the United States along with two years of funding for her research by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
Earlier today, after months of planning, Dr. Asgari boarded a plane from Switzerland to Frankfurt. She then attempted to board a plane for the United States, where she was promptly rejected. You see, even though she lives in Switzerland, Dr. Asgari is an Iranian national. So she no longer qualifies for Trumps America.
It doesnt matter that she already had an approved Visa, and it certainly doesnt matter than she was going to be engaged in high-level research aimed at defeating tuberculosis, Type 1 diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Shes Iranian. Shes Muslim. Shes not welcome. With no other choice, Dr. Asgari returned to Switzerland where she now has no job and no place to live.
This is who we are now.
Most Americans can't even begin to understand what our country has already lost due to discrimination in our history. There are "hidden figures" everywhere.
Make America Great Again by blocking out dangerous scientists and intellectuals!
