The Seattle Times:

Lt. Gov Cyrus Habib, whose family immigrated to the U.S. from Iran, said the executive order directly affects his family.

If the order had been in place before, he said, neither of his parents would have been able to come to the U.S. If the order had been in place in the 1980s, when he was suffering from cancer, his grandmother wouldn’t have been able to visit him in the hospital.

“I care about those people who are affected by this [ban] like they’re my family, because some of them are,” he said.

Refugee and immigrants are “every bit as American” as Trump, he said.
