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.

If some liberals want to let in unknown/unvetted Syria Refugees into the USA, why don’t they give the Government their home address and say they will take them into their home?

That’s too bad.

America is about us, not you.

If you don’t like the way we run things, then you are free to leave.

I’m not willing to endanger myself for the sake of your convenience.

"'All our hopes and dreams vanished'"

Like, for example, 3000 people and their families on 9/11? No, not like that at all, Mo.

Oh, cry me a effn river. What the hell do they want here except all the free stuff? What do they have to offer?

In the old days I had to prove to a prospective employer that I was worthy to be hired by what I could do for the company. These people now just think it is their right to come here and the libs are ok with that.

If only their intent was to become American. The current stream of immigrants/refugees are colonizing the US instead.

It’s called ‘Colonizing’ the US. We’ll wake up eventually to regional cultures rather than ‘one nation’.

What’s wrong with Jordan? It’s next door and muslim for the most part. The USA is far away and non islamic. There are also many other options open in terms of other countries with islamic rule.

"WINNING!!!!!"

Keep it up President Trump; we are no wheres near tired of winning.

Imagine: 4 Years of WINNING, WINNING, WINNING, will lead to ANOTHER 4 years of WINNING, WINNING, WINNING. Which, if Vice President Mike Pence runs for President and wins will lead to ANOTHER 4 years of WINNING, WINNING, WINNING... which will in turn lead to ANOTHER 4 years of WINNING, WINNING, WINNING!

I thank God for His mercy and forbearance to America and its CITIZENS by placing President Trump and his entire administration into power.

So, it seems everyone else’s nations are crap holes that have no hopes or dreams and only the horrible US can save them.

Your hopes and dreams are not a moral claim on our land, values, assets and peace. Get out of my country until you can come here in line, legally, with something to contribute, and a heartfelt love of what is already here and a solemn pledge to preserve it and defend it rather than and intention to milk it dry, change it and infect it so that it resembles exactly the Statist collectivist or tyrannical shi*t holes from which you claim to seek asylum and freedom.

You ASK to come here, you do not demand it, and you do not deserve to come here. You come with something to contribute, you do not seek to 'fundamentally transform it'. Now go home and think about that for a generation, and tell your children to think and behave differently, and be grateful that western civilization has left the world with a place where you can escape the types of cultures and governments you and your ancestors have wrought, which you so desperately want to escape.

And if you are not one of these, and you are being asked or told to leave, it's not America you should be angry at. It's those of your own culture and the idiotic and destructive liberals who refused or are too blind to tell you apart.

Better yet -> take our values back to your lands and implement them. There is no shame in recognizing the clear fact that western civilization is superior when measured by the freedom, joy, strength and peace it creates. I didn't create it either, and don't take credit for it, but it's clearly the best thing that ever happened to humanity - a species whose history is littered by by governments and cultures cyclically murdering their own and enslaving their own. Get out until you can have some humble appreciation for that.

Get ready - because the media is going to find the best examples and tell sob story after sob story. They will make it seem like everyone kept out by these orders are decent people. Some unfortunately will be, but all are certainly not.

This guy is like op many who mainly want to take advantage of this wonderful society, rather than contribute to it. He also must cut our throats if he is to follow his crappy “religion”. If not, he is apostate and will be killed by his fellow moozlums. Stay in your own crappy country.
