Hi Carol and All Iım not sure theyıre adding names anymore. I signed
yesterday using the email Carol gives here as did some friends I forwarded
the petition to, and none of our names are listed on the petition today.
Maybe theyıve been completely overwhelmed by the response.
But I want to thank Carol for passing the petition along to us. Any
opportunity to protest our countryıs descent into utter inhumanity is
worth seizing. Diana

>President Donald Trump has signed an Executive Order (EO) proposing a
>90-day suspension of visas and other immigration benefits to all
>nationals of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Somalia. The
>unrealistic conditions required for discontinuing the suspension make
>it very likely that this EO will turn into a permanent ban. We, the
>undersigned academics and researchers from a variety of fields of
>study, backgrounds, and personal convictions, would like to voice our
>concern and strongly oppose this measure on three grounds:
>
>1. This Executive Order is discriminatory. The EO unfairly targets
>a large group of immigrants and non-immigrants on the basis of their
>countries of origin, all of which are nations with a majority Muslim
>population. This is a major step towards implementing the stringent
>racial and religious profiling promised on the campaign trail. The
>United States is a democratic nation, and ethnic and religious
>profiling are in stark contrast to the values and principles we hold.
>
>2. This Executive Order is detrimental to the national interests of
>the United States. The EO significantly damages American leadership in
>higher education and research. US research institutes host a
>significant number of researchers from the nations subjected to the
>upcoming restrictions. From Iran alone, more than 3000 students have
>received PhDs from American universities in the past 3 years. The
>proposed EO limits collaborations with researchers from these nations
>by restricting entry of these researchers to the US and can
>potentially lead to departure of many talented individuals who are
>current and future researchers and entrepreneurs in the US. We
>strongly believe the immediate and long term consequences of this EO
>do not serve our national interests.
>
>3. This Executive Order imposes undue burden on members of our
>community. The people whose status in the United States would be
>reconsidered under this EO are our students, friends, colleagues, and
>members of our communities. The implementation of this EO will
>necessarily tear families apart by restricting entry for family
>members who live outside of the US and limiting the ability to travel
>for those who reside and work in the US. These restrictions would be
>applied to nearly all individuals from these countries, regardless of
>their immigration status or any other circumstances. This measure is
>fatally disruptive to the lives of these immigrants, their families,
>and the communities of which they form an integral part. It is
>inhumane, ineffective, and un-American.
>
>These bans, as proposed, have consequences that reach beyond the scope
>of national security. The unethical and discriminatory treatment of
>law-abiding, hard-working, and well-integrated immigrants
>fundamentally contravenes the founding principles of the United
>States.
>
>We strongly denounce this ban and urge the President to reconsider
>going forward with this Executive Order.
