I am aware of students studying legally here in the United States who
suddenly found their entire future in jeopardy because of their
nationality. Maryland is proud to host world-class universities like
Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland, colleges that are
enriched by the contributions and perspectives of foreign citizens. Permanent legal residents who endured a lengthy process to acquire
their green card and make the United States their home were suddenly
unsure if they belonged. I was particularly troubled when two Iraqi
citizens, who have played critical roles in supporting America's forces
in Iraq, and were traveling on valid visas, were denied entry into New
York. What do they get for helping our brave men and women with
translation and security services? A big ugly ``Not Welcome'' sign at
JFK Airport.
