NBC News: Iranian Voices Slam Donald Trump’s Reported Visa Ban as ‘Shameful’

“Donald Trump is making good on the most shameful and discriminatory promises he made on the campaign trail,” said the National Iranian American Council, a Washington-based non-profit organization. “He called for a Muslim ban and is now taking the first steps to implement one. This will not stand. The American people are better than this.” The organization called the reported executive order a “fundamental challenge to what America represents,” and claimed that “Donald Trump appears intent on throwing that America away and taking us down a slippery slope towards a dark future.”
