Hollywood Celebrities & Others Outrage Over President Donald Trump's 'Shameful' Immigration Ban
On Friday, US President Donald Trump dropped a bomb when he indefinitely stopped all Syrian Refugees from entering the USA. He even suspended the entire refugee program temporarily. Even though the order does not mention Muslim or Islam, it does forbid people from Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran, Syria and Iraq to enter America for the next 3 months.
This decision has left the entire world in a fix including Hollywood. Celebrities and many other people took to Twitter to protest against the executive order and in no time #MuslimBan started trending.
Hailing from Pakistan, Silicon Valley actor Kumail Nanjiani posted a series of tweets that point out the damaging effects that the policy will have on Muslims both in and outside America.
As someone who was born in Pakistan I can tell you coming into America is VERY difficult. A #Muslimban accomplishes nothing but hate.

Hey @mike_pence @SenJohnMcCain @SpeakerRyan, you should be ashamed of yourselves. On your deathbeds you will know you made the world worse.

You're saying to a billion people "You're all the same. You're all dangerous to us." Children hear this. You breed evil here & everywhere.

To our Muslim neighbors in the world: I & tens of millions of others are so very sorry. The majority of Americans did not vote 4 this man.

Donald Trump has no fucking clue. His desperate need for self aggrandizement is destroying US. Nothing will fill his black heart. #MuslimBan

1. Trump's #MuslimBan is against the law. The 1965 Immigration & Naturalization Act eliminated national origins as a basis for immigration.

The Deplorable States of America. #muslimban

We've lost something very precious.

And traded it for a cowardly, foolish illusion of safety.
I'm ashamed.#MuslimBan
I moved to America 32 years ago. Yesterday was the first day I felt ashamed to be part of this country.
