"Anne Frank could have been an 83 year old writer living in Boston." Countless signs with similar messages have appeared since Trump's Immigration Ban was signed on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Frank, like many other Jews, Romani and disabled individuals, was denied a visa and subsequent entrance into the United States. She, like many others, was a refugee.

With my life, identity and family split across two countries, I grew up a frequent flyer. I know every rule of flying etiquette like the back of my hand. How to pack my entire life into a tiny suitcase, avoid queues, deal with jet lag, and most importantly, tell my ride from the airport that my flight lands an hour after it actually does to make time for that racial profiling I am going to be subjected to.

Shame. Shame is the only word that continually comes to my mind when I think about the recent executive orders issued by Donald Trump regarding the ban of any immigration from seven Middle Eastern countries. It's not only this national shame that comes to my mind, it is the shame shared by my fellow Americans who are not personally affected by this move and their apathy and literal disregard for those who are being deeply affected by this turmoil.
