I assume if Zakaria Hassan's comment about wanting to vote for Trump were meant in jest, the story would have indicated that. So I want to know if young Mr. Hassan realizes that one of Trump's first acts as president was to ban people with Somalian (among other) citizenship from traveling to the United States. SURELY this was and has been a topic of conversation in his community? Say he had decided to pop up to Montreal for the day, but on the wrong day -- he might have found himself not able to return across the border, despite his green card, which absolutely did happen in isolated cases in the early chaotic days of the travel ban (people detained at airports were bullied into signing forms to voluntarily revoke their green cards, then deported).
Why, why, WHY under such circumstances would any member of this particular vulnerable community vote to reelect this president?
