:03:49. > :03:53.Hundreds of thousands of people are going to be affected by this and
:03:54. > :03:59.many of them did not see this coming at all. I have been speaking to
:04:00. > :04:04.people since last night, really, hours after the executive order was
:04:05. > :04:09.signed by the president and people's lives have been upended already. You
:04:10. > :04:14.have a number of people who are in the United States, especially if
:04:15. > :04:24.Iranians, but also Syrians and others of these seven countries, who
:04:25. > :04:26.are legally residing in the United States under a student visas, work

:04:30. > :04:35.been abiding by the law and family members, who have similar visas, are
:04:36. > :04:40.travelling outside, I spoke to one gentleman who is working in the
:04:41. > :04:43.subway system, in fact, in New York, and his pregnant wife with a
:04:44. > :04:49.three-year-old are back in Iran visiting family and she was about to
:04:50. > :04:52.come back and now she cannot. You cannot visit them yet because if he
:04:53. > :04:59.does he will be denied re-entry. They are here legally but because
:05:00. > :05:03.part of their family is outside, they cannot be reunited. This is
:05:04. > :05:09.happening across the country in -- to people that are of the background
:05:10. > :05:13.of these seven countries and they cannot be issued visas to re-enter
:05:14. > :05:18.the United States. Add to that the confusion whether people with eating
:05:19. > :05:21.cards, -- permanent residency, people who have dull place you have
:05:22. > :05:28.their house and their life and their work here, who make the denied
:05:29. > :05:34.entry. Some have, some haven't. Some are to was that you saw in that
:05:35. > :05:37.clip, in the GFP airport being detained for hours, before being
:05:38. > :05:43.released. Some still remain in detention. When you add that come
:05:44. > :05:47.you have a sizeable part of the population who is not allowed to
:05:48. > :05:50.travel in and out with certainty that they will be able to come back
:05:51. > :05:56.and the ones that have travelled are barred from coming back. We spoke
:05:57. > :06:01.with one lady who is teaching in the Boston, an Iranian American, has a
:06:02. > :06:05.ten-year-old, single mother, goes to Germany for a conference, cannot
:06:06. > :06:10.come back to America and her child is in Boston. It is a chaotic and
:06:11. > :06:15.shocking situation for many of these people who have been affected by
:06:16. > :06:16.something that they did not see was even legal.
:06:17. > :06:21.Thank you for that. David Bier is an immigration policy
:06:22. > :06:31.analyst with the US think There has been legal challenges
:06:32. > :06:36.mounted already. Some people are saying that this is
:06:37. > :06:42.unconstitutional. What are your thoughts? It is my view that there
:06:43. > :06:45.is definitely illegal. Under current law, the president is banned from
:06:46. > :06:51.taking into consideration nationality when issuing visas or
:06:52. > :06:57.denying entry to legal permanent rent -- residents are people who are
:06:58. > :07:01.coming here for permanent residency. Under the current law, this would be
:07:02. > :07:06.an illegal action and I suspect that lawsuits will follow shortly. How
:07:07. > :07:14.can this be challenged. I would be through the courts? Will it be using
:07:15. > :07:18.legislation? I think you will have a lawsuit. The courts will decide
:07:19. > :07:25.whether the president has this authority. He claims that he does.
:07:26. > :07:28.In 1965 Congress amended the emigration laws of the United States
:07:29. > :07:31.to make it clear that the president cannot discriminate on the grounds
:07:32. > :07:37.of nationality and I expect that a lawsuit from failed, courts have
:07:38. > :07:41.reviewed provisions similar less or actions somewhat less of an earlier
:07:42. > :07:49.presidents and have found them illegal. So I expect that this
:07:50. > :07:53.action will also be found be illegal and overly broad. President Trump
:07:54. > :08:02.says that he is defending America from extremism. Is that a legitimate
:08:03. > :08:07.defence. Is that a legitimate defence? When you look at the
:08:08. > :08:10.numbers, there has been no terrorist attack by any organisation or
:08:11. > :08:14.individual from any of these seven countries that are banned, that has
:08:15. > :08:19.killed anyone in the United States over the last 40 years. So, the idea
:08:20. > :08:26.that this is targeting terrorism is just laughably absurd. They believe
:08:27. > :08:35.these measures will be overturned? Yes, I do. I think if the -- I think
:08:36. > :08:37.of the lawsuit is filed and when surely will be, you will see that
:08:38. > :08:44.the president will be denied the ability to carry out these actions.

:08:47. > :08:52.David Willis joins us from Washington.
:08:53. > :09:00.As remarkable for Donald Trump. What is the fallout from this? How are
:09:01. > :09:05.officials coping with the changes to these immigration laws? Well,
:09:06. > :09:10.Follett is being felt already out -- already. Some turned back on
:09:11. > :09:16.arrival. We have had about a dozen people, among them to Iraqis, who
:09:17. > :09:22.were blocked from coming into the country, detained by border and
:09:23. > :09:28.custom agents fear and instances around the nation, possibly this
:09:29. > :09:33.could affect many thousands of people attempting to come here,
:09:34. > :09:38.meanwhile, the White House pushing back or attempting to push back at
:09:39. > :09:45.some of the criticism, making the point that this is not a Muslim ban.
:09:46. > :09:52.A senior official told media that this is basically a situation where
:09:53. > :09:59.a relatively small number of people are involved. He says that the US
:10:00. > :10:05.still has more foreigners, takes in more foreigners, than any other
:10:06. > :10:11.country. These green card holders from the seven nations on that last
:10:12. > :10:16.well have to go through a case-by-case waiver interview in
:10:17. > :10:21.order to return to the United States. It is clear that those who
:10:22. > :10:26.were out of the country when it Donald Trump announced this move
:10:27. > :10:31.last night will not be coming back here for 90 days at least. What has
:10:32. > :10:38.the reaction been from fellow Republicans where you are? Well, you
:10:39. > :10:44.a lot of them are publicly, at least, in favour of these measures.
:10:45. > :10:48.The house speaker Paul Ryan uploaded this move, saying it was time that
:10:49. > :10:56.these sort of restrictions, these loopholes, were taken to. There are
:10:57. > :11:00.those who are expressing disquiet privately and meanwhile we have had
:11:01. > :11:04.a lot of reaction, as you might imagine, from Democrats. The Senate
:11:05. > :11:08.Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that this, there would be tears
:11:09. > :11:15.running down the cheeks of the statue of liberty, one of the
:11:16. > :11:21.foundations of America. It's welcoming approach to emigrants has
:11:22. > :11:42.basically been left in the dust. Thank you very much.
:11:43. > :11:47.The French president told President Trump to respect the principle of
