President Trump's executive order banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. also applies to green card holders from those countries, the Department of Homeland Security said Saturday. "It will bar green card holders," acting DHS spokeswoman Gillian Christensen told Reuters.
Green cards serve as proof of an individual's permanent legal residence in the U.S. A senior administration official clarified on Saturday afternoon that green card holders from the seven countries affected in the order who are currently outside the U.S. will need a case-by-case waiver to return to the U.S. Green card holders in the U.S. will have to meet with a consular officer before departing the country, the official said.

At least one case quickly prompted a legal challenge as lawyers representing two Iraqi refugees held at Kennedy International Airport in New York filed a motion early Saturday seeking to have their clients released. They also filed a motion for class certification, in an effort to represent all refugees and other immigrants who they said were being unlawfully detained at ports of entry. Shortly after noon on Saturday, Hameed Khalid Darweesh, an interpreter who worked on behalf of the United States government in Iraq, was released. After nearly 19 hours of detention, Mr. Darweesh began to cry as he spoke to reporters, putting his hands behind his back and miming handcuffs.
[...] Inside the airport, one of the lawyers, Mark Doss, a supervising attorney at the International Refugee Assistance Project, asked a border agent, "Who is the person we need to talk to?"
"Call Mr. Trump," said the agent, who declined to identify himself.
[...] An official message to all American diplomatic posts around the world provided instructions about how to treat people from the countries affected: "Effective immediately, halt interviewing and cease issuance and printing" of visas to the United States. Confusion turned to panic at airports around the world, as travelers found themselves unable to board flights bound for the United States. In Dubai and Istanbul, airport and immigration officials turned passengers away at boarding gates and, in at least one case, ejected a family from a flight they had boarded.
[...] Iranian green card holders who live in the United States were blindsided by the decree while on vacation in Iran, finding themselves in a legal limbo and unsure whether they would be able to return to America. "How do I get back home now?" said Daria Zeynalia, a green card holder who was visiting family in Iran. He had rented a house and leased a car, and would be eligible for citizenship in November. "What about my job? If I can't go back soon, I'll lose everything."

Holywood disseminates Holywood culture.
This past election should tell you that. (How did Holywood vote, and how did Holywood react to the results?) Holywood completely despises American culture, and people with American culture mostly despise Holywood culture. American culture finds Holywood to be an embarrassment. People in other nations get a really distorted take on America from Holywood.
Ignoring the fact that Holywood culture isn't American culture: moving some of the world a tiny step in the direction of our culture while letting Americans be diluted in their own country does NOT preserve American culture. It wipes American culture from the face of the Earth.

Let's Play: Spot the Nazi! See that poster above? Does he seem to be trying to foster division and hatred among Americans? He could be a Nazi! Fascists try to undermine liberal democracies by tactics exactly like these. They pretend to be just a fellow citizen, one who is experiencing "reverse racism", or complaining that no women want to have sex with him, but in fact he is just trying to weaken America! So Steve Bannon can take over! But the real "tell" is, who but a Nazi provovateur would not even know how to spell "Hollywood"? What the heck is "holy wood"? Pieces of the cross? Olivewood from Israel? Morning surprise? WormWood!!
And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
