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.

"from the countries" doesn't mean their nationality. It means where you were born. Where you came from.

Anyway I'd rather believe a Member of Parliament than some random T_D poster

Had confirmation that the order does apply to myself and my wife as we were both born in Iraq. Even if we are not dual Nat.
