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.

“Cry me a river about a coward that won’t stay home and fight the radical Islamists...”

He wants to come here and join the Democrats, who also will not fight the radical Islamists, so the freakin’ coward will have plenty of snowflake company. Stand and fight, another Islamic coward.

It’s not Trump’s fault that others of YOUR religion have ruined YOUR part of the world.

Frustrating, isn’t it, when regular Americans finally have enough and say NO! All your ‘hopes and dreams’ of sucking as much as possible from the gullible infidels, of Islamifying America, of a world caliphate, of enslaving all who will not obey your gutter, 10th century death cult- gone. And your dreams, of sharia ruling the earth, of raping women and little boys, of turning America into the same barren hell-holes you left, dashed, eh Rock Worshipper? You want your parents- we’ll ship’em back to Muslim paradise. The ‘refugee’ invasion is over-and millions of armed Americans are ready to make sure you stay disappointed...forever! God Bless Donald Trump!

Sawan’s “hopes and dreams” are the world’s worst nightmare.

All Syrians need to immediately return home to fight for their country.

I find it impossible to sympathize with Sawan.

I posted this quote on my Facebook page:

“The Secretary of Treasury [sic., he meant State] and the Attorney General will invalidate all visas issued to Iranian citizens for future entry into the United States, effective today. We will not reissue visas, nor will we issue new visas, except for compelling and proven humanitarian reasons or where the national interest of our own country requires. This directive will be interpreted very strictly.” - Donald Trump

After I received several responses of outrage from left-wing friends, I posted:

“Just kidding. That was Jimmy Carter. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=33233";

Good way to get left-wingers to unfriend you on Facebook.

There are no moderate Muslims

Their evil comes from their Koran and prophet Muhamad

All Muslims don’t protest Muslim terrorits but do go crazy when someone draws a cartoon of Muhammad

Syria had a population of about 22 million.

According to the UN, there are almost 5 million Syrian refugees throughout the world.
Over 6 million displaced within the country.

HALF the population is displaced?
Almost 1/4 are displaced outside the country???

Whats wrong with these numbers?

Speak for yourself. I’ve had enough immigration of all kinds from all places. Enough is enough! 20 year halt to ALL immigration while we sort out this mess.
