[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am a legal green card holder not from one of the seven countries flying through LAX the next two weeks. Not brown, yellow. At this point should all gc holders play it safe and just cancel their trips. [/quote]
Honestly? Yes. The rumors are the next round of immigration-related EOs will focus on non-Muslims and they are going to start kicking out people who they deem as threatening to US jobs and anyone who's received any type of publication assistance. You may think that doesn't apply to you but without details on how they are defining things or how broad they are going I'd play it safe. [/quote]
DH is respecting the wishes of any visa or greencard holders who work for him not to travel outside of the US indefinitely.  These people are overwhelmingly either yellow or brown but not muslim.  He, who has been telling me I'm over-reacting since the election, is also starting to drive himself crazy trying to find news of likely forthcoming EOs on work-related immigration.  He says a contributing factor to why he feels safe traveling is that he can trace some of his ancestors back to the Mayflower.  He might be absolutely nuts, but this is the country we are currently living in.[/quote]
I just called three immigration attorneys and they said I would probably be fine. But I am paranoid now,  I can't decide I have a week to go before I get on flight.[/quote]
You are fine under the existing law.  The issue is entirely about how comfortable you are gambling that another EO impacting your status won't be passed while you are gone.  DH has employees with small children who are not willing to take that gamble.  He has other employees in the same situation that don't see it as much of a gamble.

The effect of this EO is not really about the people directly impacted, though that's bad enough.  It's effect is really about sowing extreme uncertainty about what's going to happen next.  Some people will react by calling the people who are worried crazy, other people will react by slipping into some degree of paranoia.  But there isn't really much of a middle ground available to us anymore, because you can't rationally look at the situation and say nothing is going to change. [/quote]
