Target People: Non-Immigrant Visa and Somali-Canadian Communities

target people: Leaders in the Iranian-Canadian and Somali-Canadian communities are speaking out against the ban, according to Hamilton Spectator. Bijan Ahmadi, president of the Iranian Canadian Congress, said he's outraged by the new policy. The ban prevents citizens of Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and Libya from entering the U.S. in the next 90 days, regardless of whether they have an immigrant or non-immigrant visa. It's unacceptable. It's very discriminatory to target people based on their race, their religion, the country of their origin and the country of their birth. It's very unreasonable, he said.
