Anybody still seriously contesting the assertion that Trump is a fascist?

Green-card holders will be hit by Trump ban - Homeland Security

People holding so-called green cards, making them legal permanent US residents, are included in President Donald Trump’s executive action temporarily banning people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, the Department of Homeland security has confirmed to Reuters

“It will bar green card holders,” Gillian Christensen, acting spokeswoman for the department, reportedly said in an email.

The order places a 90-day block on entry to the US from citizens from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Libya. In addition, it indefinitely suspends admission of Syrian refugees. It also caps total refugees entering the US in 2017 to 50,000, less than half the previous year’s 117,000.

Almost 500,000 people from the seven countries have received green cards in the past decade, according to news site ProPublica allowing them to live and work in the US indefinitely.
