Full tittle....................'All our hopes and dreams vanished': Refugees and Middle Eastern relatives speak out in the wake of Trump's immigration ban............................A refugee who fled worn-torn Syria and dreamed of living in the United States with his family is among those who have spoken out following Trump's immigration ban.

Ammar Sawan took his first step toward resettlement in the US three months ago by submitting to an initial round of security screenings.

But his plan for a better life fell apart when President Donald Trump enforced an indefinite ban on Friday on displaced Syrians entering the United States.

Sawan, who is a Syrian refugee living in Amman, Jordan with his family, revealed on Saturday that he learned of Trump's decision from TV news the night before.

'When we heard of the order, it was like a bolt of lightning, and all our hopes and dreams vanished,' the 40 year-old said.

Sawan, who is a Syrian refugee living in Amman, Jordan with his family,

He's living in Jordan. It's a safe place. Why does he want to leave?? I guess Jordan's welfare benefits don't quite match those of the US.

My hopes and dreams are for people to stay home and FIGHT FOR THEIR OWN COUNTRY and to stop coming here to destroy mine by being “offended” all the time. Put on your big boy pants, man up and fight for your own damn country.

Jordan is far more fitting. Most people there believe in your murder prophet. You’ll be much happier Achmed.

None of the so called moderate Muslims worked to uncover the terrorists in their midst.

The same thing happened to the Southern Europeans in the early twentieth century after anarchists like Sacco and Vanzetti went on bombing sprees.

That’s where my family came from and I’m glad they decided to ban and/or vett any new immigrants from there.

Pretty funny how this guy just described his own zot. You know how disruptors are though, always with the righteous indignation, then they try to worm their way in under another name.

There is a sad story in every persons life. When they start interviewing the wife and children of a drug abuser with the same sympathetic tone, even the left would laugh......for now.

Be patient, wannabe Americans! We welcome immigrants to our country. They inject much needed ambition and drive into our economy. If you really want to submit to the Constitution as your highest legal authority, eventually we’ll let you in. But for now, our suicidal immigration system has decided to step back from the abyss and stop letting Sharia advocates into our Nation.
