Not true. A British member of Parliament is banned and he ONLY has British nationality, no other. He's banned because of his birthplace.

lolwut. The full text of the Executive Order says nothing about birthplace. Only aliens from the countries listed in section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a) are denied entry for the next 3 months. If he is a British national and travels on British passport, he's not banned.

The thing about laws is, you can go read them. Here you go.[1] Please get back to me when you find that part that excludes someone based on their place of birth and not their nationality.
