Its not only refugees, the ban even concerns green-card holders and those with visas.

    The father of the family that rents an apartment in my building went to Sudan for his mothers funeral. Now he cant even come back. Worst, he is the only one that makes income in his family, his kids are too young, and his wife doesnt speak english. Hes already paid his rent a month in advance, but what about next month. I feel awful for his family. I dont even know what they can do at this point.

    So there are people with jobs to get back to on Monday and rent that's going to be due on the first, and they are stuck in airports with nowhere to go

    They're going to be left jobless and forced out of the country despite having a green card and living here totally legally. And if they have pets or something at home, too bad.

Students and professors, who visited family, can't re-enter the US.

This is crazy.
