Refugees, immigration are part and parcel of American soccer

On Jan. 27, 2017 President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order that suspends visas and other immigration matters from seven specific nations as well as suspended the Refugee Admissions program for fiscal year 2017 pending review. It has been harshly criticized throughout the United States and among its allies.

It has also been criticized by United States National Team Captain Michael Bradley.

Sunil Gulati appeared to agree with much of what Bradley said, although he withheld any strongly worded opinion of his own.

This Executive Order will directly impact your ability to enjoy soccer.
