A British MP Says He Is Now Banned From The US Because He Was Born In Iraq

A British MP has said he is currently banned from traveling to the US because of Donald Trump’s executive order on visas and admitting refugees.

Nadhim Zahawi, the Conservative MP for Stratford-on-Avon, said he had been told that because he was born in Iraq, the order banning migrants and visitors from seven majority-Muslim countries applied to him as well.

Zahawai said it was a “sad, sad day to feel like a second class citizen. Sad day for the USA!”

“I’m a British citizen and so proud to have been welcomed to this country. Sad to hear I’ll be banned from the USA based on my country of birth,” he added.
