"Had we turned away refugees a few decades ago, Priscilla's family wouldn't be here today.” Mark Zuckerberg cries out as Trump bans six countries from entering to the USA

Trump don't joke!!!

On Friday, the President of the United States of America signed an executive order temporarily banning all travellers from six muslim countries and all refugees for a period of four months.

Citizens of affected countries will no longer be granted visas and those already issued visas will have their visas nullified. 

In Trump's words:

"We want to ensure that we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas. We only want to admit those into our country who will support our country and love deeply our people."

Prominent Americans have spoken up against the recent actions of Trump including the commencement of construction of the huge wall to keep out Mexicans from the USA. Among notable Americans backlashing Trump is facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Mark whose parents are originally from Europe is married to Priscilla whose parents came into the USA as refugees from China

Mark put up a post on facebook today where he expressed concern about the impact of the orders and that he would be working with Fwd.US, a charity he supports, to develop protections for child immigrants brought to the US at a young age by their parents.

Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook wall: “My great grandparents came from Germany, Austria and Poland. Priscilla's parents were refugees from China and Vietnam. The United States is a nation of immigrants, and we should be proud of that.

“Like many of you, I'm concerned about the impact of the recent executive orders signed by President Trump.

“We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat. Expanding the focus of law enforcement beyond people who are real threats would make all Americans less safe by diverting resources, while millions of undocumented folks who don't pose a threat will live in fear of deportation.We should also keep our doors open to refugees and those who need help. That's who we are. Had we turned away refugees a few decades ago, Priscilla's family wouldn't be here today."

Meanwhile, former US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright , has vowed to convert to Muslim if Trump should go ahead to create an Islamic database and ban Muslim migrants from entering the country.

Albright who is the first female Secretary of State under the administration of former President Bill Clinton tweeted on Wednesday, January 26 that: "I was raised Catholic, became Episcopalian & found out later my family was Jewish. Reports have come in that border agents have begun turning back citizens of the affected countries at airports leaving them stranded. Travellers who had been issued visas for travel are being turned away or told not to board flights because of the ban.
