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.

Good! Keep your hopes and dreams over in your own country.
America has had enough of funding, fighting for, dying for
or in other ways supporting the "Hopes and dreams" of
aliens peoples and nations who we don't give a damn about!

I have a "hope and dream" too. It consists of keeping the murdering cult of Islam and it's demented followers out of our country. We will all have a better chance of living longer that way.

So, piss off, Sawan. If you don't like it, you can go to the socialist paradise of Sweden where apparently they allow your fellow cultists to loot and rape at will while collecting wonderfully generous welfare benefits.
