In my last video, I talked about the Muslim ban, but it wasn't official at the time. And
now, it's official, and really bad things are happening. And I can't -- like I had another
video planned to go up today, and it just feels wrong to have it go up because, how
could I not talk about this? Like, it's -- this is so serious. Like, people are literally
-- people who are permanent residents of the United States, who went through a thorough
vetting process, who got a green card, who came here legally, who have probably lived
here for years. They have a family, children, like relationships, a job. These people are
being denied re-entry into the United States because of this law. This is not about illegal
immigration. This is not about national security. This is hurting people who are American permanent
residents. Like, I -- I cannot wrap my mind around that. These are completely innocent
people who've worked very hard. There are people in really like high-level positions
who are not being let in, like scientists or people who work for tech companies, even
people who helped the United States in the Middle East and are now being persecuted there
because of it are not allowed into the US. We've literally betrayed these people. There's
someone who was nominated for Best Foreign Language film and won't be able to come to
the Oscars. It's unbelievable to me that we are banning these people from coming back
into the country. People were literally on a plane coming here when it was signed, and
when they got here they were told they couldn't enter the country, even though they did everything
legally, and everything should be fine. Like, people who were on business trips or just
visiting family are now trapped outside of the country away from their children, away
from their spouses. Like how do you not -- how do you not empathize with that? How can you
look at these people and think that that's okay? These are real stories. This is not
made-up stuff. I'll link to some of the stories in the description. But it's so real. Like
experts have been speaking out about how this affects green card holders, and I've read
so many stories from people about what has happened to them or their family members,
and the only way any decent human could rationalize this is if they pretend those people don't
exist or that those are fake stories. But they are not. They're real, they're happening,
there's evidence for it. The ACLU is fighting to get people back in this country. I've seen
photos of lawyers working at JFK in New York to try to help people get in. It's soooo un-American,
it's so hateful, it's so divisive. These people are being banned because of the country they
are from. And those countries were chosen because they're Muslim-majority countries,
not because they've done anything particularly wrong. And the way you can know that is because out of
the 7 countries that are now banned, those countries are Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia,
Syria, Yemen, and Libya. And not a single terrorist from one of those countries has
gotten into the US and killed an American. Not one. Zero. This is not about national
security. This is about islamophobia. It's about racism. You're more likely to be killed
by a toddler with a gun. You're more likely to be killed by your own clothes. You're more
likely to be killed by falling vending machines, than you are by a Muslim terrorist. In the
last few years, right-wing white male Christian terrorists have killed more people than Muslim
terrorists in the United States. That is a fact. A fact, not an alternative fucking fact -- a real fact.
And yet the people being banned are Muslims from 7 specific countries. The few Muslim
terrorists there have been in the US have been mainly from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and
Egypt. And this ban does not affect any of those three countries -- it just doesn't.
I saw someone bring up the San Bernardino shooter, and they were like, "Do you hate
Americans? You'd let the San Bernardino shooter in?" Guess what, under Donald Trump's executive
order, the San Bernardino shooter would still be let in because he was an American citizen
born in the US, and his wife was born in Pakistan but had a green card here, which she could
still get under Donald Trump's executive order because Pakistan is not one of the countries
listed. This executive order would not have stopped the San Bernardino shooter. It would
not have stopped any of the terrorist attacks that have happened in the United States in
the last few years. And now, lawful Americans, who have been here, who have lives here, are
not being allowed back in. That's so fucking unconstitutional I cannot comprehend it. There
are protests at JFK and LAX and Dallas Fort Worth and like airports all over the place,
and I really highly encourage you to get to one of those if you are close enough because
we have to tell them that this is not acceptable. This is not okay. Like the American people
are not okay with this. We are a country of refugees, built by refugees, for refugees,
and this is not okay. This is not normal. And I'll remind you that this executive order
was issued on Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Holocaust didn't start with gas chambers;
it started with words and small actions. It was scapegoating one religious group to blame
for all the problems of a country -- and now that exact same thing is happening with Muslims,
and we're just letting it happen. People voted for this President when he said that he would
do this. And honestly, if you voted for Trump, and -- and, he told you he was doing this
Muslim ban. He told everyone. He said he was gonna do a complete and total shutdown of
Muslims entering the US. If you heard that and you still voted for him, fuck you. Fuck
you. That is not forgivable. These are Americans. Who cares what their fucking religion is.
This is clear blatant discrimination against a religious group and has nothing to do with
national security. And this is not a partisan issue. Mike Pence, the current Vice President,
tweeted over a year ago that a ban of Muslims entering the US would unconstitutional. And
now he's just like okay with? I guess what's constitutional, what's unconstitutional is
changes depending on who your President is. John McCain, the literal Republican who ran
for President a few years ago, is so against a Muslim ban. This is not like a Democrat
versus Republican thing. This is just an American thing. We should all care about this -- Democrat
or Republican or whatever -- you should be able to see that a Muslim ban is wrong and
discriminatory and does not stand for American values. I'm sure there are aspects of this
that I'm forgetting or leaving out because there are so many different stories and so
much is going on right now -- but I'm just really mad about this, and I don't know how
you can be alive right now and see the news going on in the world and not be upset about
this. Like if you are not mad, you are not paying attention. You know that really famous
quote, it's like, "First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out -- because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me."
That's what's happening right now. They came for the Muslims. We have to defend them. It
might just be 7 countries right now, but don't kid yourself, this could be extended to any
country under the guise of "national security". All they would have to say is, "We don't trust
people from this country anymore," and ban them completely. And that's not okay. It might
only be 7 countries right now, but this could just be the start. They will come for people
of other countries, they will come for people of other ethnicities and religions. If you've
ever looked back at the Holocaust and wondered what you would've done at the beginning during
the rise of the anti-semitism, this is your time! This is where we will be going down
in history as the start of massive discrimination against Muslims. History textbooks are going
to look back on this, and I really hope that you can say that you were on the right side
of history. And the other thing is that they're cutting down the amount of refugees that we
accept by like half, and we already weren't accepting that many refugees. And they're
saying that priority goes to people from minority religions in those countries, which means
Christians. It means they're basically like using a Litmus test to determine who's Christian
and who's Muslim, and discriminating against the Muslims and only allowing the Christians
in. It's a very sneaky way of letting Christians in and not Muslims. And that's a religious
test. That's not okay. These are people coming from terrible conditions. Like war-torn countries,
so much violence that you or I cannot imagine it, and we're telling them that they're just
not allowed here anymore because of their religion. That's so fucked up. Refugees have
to be welcome here. Immigrants have to be welcome here. People of all religions have
to be welcome here. That is the country that this is. That is the country that this should
be. We have to fight back against this. Please, call your senators, call your representatives,
go to a protest if you can. Do something. Get loud, get angry. This is not acceptable.
This is not normal. My heart goes out to all the people who have been directly affected
this executive order, and I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry. I -- this is not the
country I want. I think we can be better than this. I really hope we will be better than
this, at some point. Take care of yourselves, I love you all.
After I filmed this video, the ACLU won a court case against Trump's executive order.
Federal District Court Judge Ann M. Donnelly issued a "stay", which blocked the
executive order for those who had just arrived in the US.
This is a victory, but this is not over.
Legal permanent residents are still not being allowed to board flights into the US.
Refugees are still being denied entry, and there was no ruling on the constitutionality of the executive order.
Keep. Fighting. Resist. This is not normal.
