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.

These “refugees” need to stay in their own country and fight for whatever it is they see lacking IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

Start a dream of fixing your own country

Stopping the revolt against the Syrian government, the Alawite minority, and the Christian minority seem like an obvious first step. Restore the status quo before Clinton/Obama plan for Moslem Brotherhood governments throughout the Middle East.

Ooh, Sacco & Vanzetti - there’s a fake news story that refuses to die. It was their group that blew up Wall St. in 1920.

Never pin all your hopes and dreams on someone else. YOU are the one who is responsible for that. By the way, your hopes and dreams are no more important than anyone else’s hopes and dreams and the entire world can’t come to America. People gave their fortunes and lives to create what you now want to walk into. Build a dream for your posterity like those great men who gave it all to make this country.

Their hopes and dreams are predicated on American citizens hopes and dreams being dashed.

F’Off

Tough. Go to a muzzie country, and don’t come here. I thought muzzies were kind and welcoming, to their own kind.

“Start a dream of fixing your own country.”

Immigrating to America, which does not want to rule every aspect of their lives with an iron fist and a sword releases the pressure for change in their own country, ensuring it will remain the same. The irony is, when they come here the thing they want to do is rule every aspect of our lives with an iron fist and a sword. Their hopes and dreams are not our hopes and dreams.
