San Francisco Chronicle ^ | February 11, 2017 | Sarah Ravani

When Afsaneh got a call from her local bridal shop in San Jose letting her know that the simple, ruffled, elegant gown she had carefully chosen weeks ago was ready for pickup, she was excited that the final pieces of her spring wedding were falling into place.

Within a week of the call, President Trump signed an executive order temporarily banning travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, including one where she emigrated from in her early 20s and where her fiance, Sepehr, lives: Iran.

Would this be the same Iran that boarded two of our naval vessels and took their crews into captivity? Why doesn't her fiance go to the US embassy in Iran and state his case? Oh wait - never mind.

Do these people contact the news media or does the media go looking? Probably some of both with activists encouraging people to come forward with their tales of woe.

It was a great scam for probably seventy years but the old playbook doesn’t work like it used to.

Why isn’t she on her way to IRAN to be with her True Love?? Sounds pretty fishy to me, most likely a Terrorist Wedding Recruitment.

What the MSM is too ignorant to grasp, is that others have dreams too. Interrupting those dreams saved lives.

Duh!

Is Sepher coming over on a “fiancé” visa? Ask the San Bernadino folks how well that worked out for them.

We had great relationships - government to government, citizen to citizen - in the days of the Shaw. Things were rosy until your parents and grandparents screwed it all up.

TFr years the LA Times has run the “poor illegal immigrant story of the week. The mother and daughter crossing the desert to search for the father who ent north and abandoned them. The poor child in LA malnourished because the government won’t raise the minimum wage for their father. And on and on and on with never publishing how this hurts the state or the country.

We will get a daily dose of this for 8 years. Wait till they light the fire under homelessness again and blame it on Trump
