Trump travel ban comes into effect

Not really related but, I read a story recently about the treatment one guy and his wife received when re-entering the US after a visit to family back in India to attend a funeral. They had lived in West Virginia and both highly acclaimed academics at the University there. Their children had also spent 5 solid years making friends and establishing strong links at school and beyond etc. The treatment at passport control after technical problems with passport automated check in system, was basically, you are in the wrong line, you are a visitor and no one special. Then grilled by immigration about why they were travelling back / forth to India so often. They were all mentally frazzled. But had enough.
They moved to Canada and the Uni they left gutted obviously. Now citizens in Canada and rebuilding their lives, whenever they fly back, and land in Toronto, they all receive a message that says, 'welcome home'.
