"...Some of those who have entered the United States through our immigration system have
proved to be threats to our national security, Since 2001, hundreds of persons born abroad have
been convicted of terrorism-related crimes in the United States...the unrestricted entry into the
United States of nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen would be
detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that the entry into the United
States of nationals of those six countries be suspended for 90 days from the effective date of this
order, subject to limitations, waivers, and exceptions set forth..."-President Donald Trump,
3/6/2017

schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they're friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to
our flag. They are Americans in their heart in their minds, in every single way but onc: on paper.
They were brought to this country by their parents...and often have no idea that they're

national security or public safety will be able to request temporary relief from deportation
proceedings and apply for work authorization." - President Barack Obama, 6/5/2012
