Farah is a tax exile. He will have to pay US taxes regardless of being banned from returning. At least until he becomes a UK tax payer. His permanent residence is Oregon. He needs to switch that to the UK or another country.

Not only that but they cannot even fly with the US as a transfer point. They can't even temporarily land on US soil ever. A total disaster edict by Trump.

He signed the decree. Which forced it to be immediately implemented. He owns this one.
Nope. This one is on congress. They should already be bringing about impeachment proceedings due to his violation of the emoluments clause.
Checks and balances only work if they actually are used.

Haha, yeah. And the wall that The Donald first said would cost $4billion is now up to $24billion with billions in yearly costs for extra surveillance staff and equipment, maintenance, etc, etc and for what? Mo should just go to Mexico and run across before Trump's folly is built.

Nope. The person who signs is responsible. That was enough to immediately implement the ban.
He mentioned registries for Muslims and various other offensive things during the campaign. This was what the voters asked for. This isn't something he did on a whim.
Of course sane people disagree with of this order, but we knew some nasty stuff was coming when he got elected. There are people that hat can put an end to this. Will they?

The protests in the last week didn't sway opinion. This single action will however.

This will affect mid term results if not reversed. Landslide.
I don't think they thought this through.
I didn't vote for Trump (Evan McMullin) but a lot of people in this country support better vetting of new immigrants from countries to ties with radical islamic terrorists and cracking down on illegal immigration. I knew Trump was onto something when one of my aunts (she's apolitical) totally agreed with his views on immigration and the press was going nuts acting like he was crazy.
I didn't think much of it when he suspended for 90 days what I thought was new visitors from those countries. That is pretty much what he said he'd do. I didn't think the would prevent legal residents from returning. The optics are a lot worse.
Even if you want to argue a legal immigrant from country X who has been in country X recently could have been getting trained or something that doesn't mean the immigrant from X who has lived here for 10 years and went to Cancun for the weekend is making us unsafe.

Correct. Trump is responsible. He is hot headed and speaks and acts without thought.
I do not agree that the average Republican wants Trump to ban all people from Somalia, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Libya. Nor do they want to ban all Muslims. I think only a more extreme subsect of people think that way.
Regardless, you should have the guts to stand up to the man in power if you feel he is no longer representing the interests of YOUR country.
Americans need to remember. Trump is not your overlord. He is a public servant. You are allowed and encouraged to criticise him. The reason he is even in power is because most of you can't see past the left vs right boxes you have been put into. Be better than that.

Many of those people are workers hired to work in the US by US companies. It is a world economy and the impact is much greater than Trump and his people realize. Trump rules by emotion. That is how businesses fail.
Farah is not "banned" from the US. If he has a green card he's got to take the additional one-time step of visiting an embassy/consulate to get a waiver before he returns to the US.
The NY judge didn't overturn Trump's executive order, she just simply put a stay on deportations. Meaning people currently stuck at US airports will be stuck there indefinitely, unless/until CBP let them into the US.

Why would he have a green card? He is not required to live in the US. Nike has contracts with athletes who live in many countries. No reason for him to be a tax exile of the UK.

No, Farah is banned from the US if he has a Somali passport alongside his UK one.
As a UK national with Somali citizenship he would be prevented from entering the united states

From what I understand they were enforcing this today if you have a green card and said it Pplies to green card holders.

I agree entirely. But, the order doesn't imply that green card holders or even legal residents are affected as some have assumed.
Don't be a trump apologist. America has become a pathetic and scared little country.
Enjoy serving your wacko dictator for the next 8 years while you wonder how you became a victim of your own police state.
I expect to see the doors open wide to Cuba and North Korea and Russia soon.
Mo Farah is a British citizen only, so the ban does not apply to him.

Even if he was a dual citizen all he'd have do is apply for entry as a British citizen and arrive in the country using his British passport.

Well, they have just changed their mind... as far as green card holders are concerned. Still no word on other legal residents yet.

Also, is it really the only country? Wasn't the Brexit vote (Farah's country!) also based in part on racism?
Yes and no. All the racists did vote to leave, however the prime issue was having open borders and the resultant increased labour pool and demand on public services and housing.
The UK does not have race issues anywhere near the scale of the US. Seriously, every story coming from the US seems to involve race.
