In New Mexico, the Albuquerque Journal reports that our universities
have issued an advisory to foreign students and faculty: ``Don't leave
the country if you want to come back.'' Think about that. My office has already heard from New Mexicans who fear for their
safety and the safety of their families abroad as a direct result of
this order. A man who moved to the United States as a refugee from Iraq
and settled in my hometown told me that his wife and two kids went to
Baghdad to attend his mother-in-law's funeral. They are currently in
Iraq and scheduled to return in February. They are all green card
holders. They are part of our community. President Trump's Executive
order has left him and his family feeling in limbo.
