Bahara Saghari, an Afghan student, saw her US education dreams crushed by the travel ban, a policy that shattered her plans. Thousands faced similar setbacks, investing time and money only to be denied. Visa delays and broader immigration policies added to their struggles.
The travel ban was the biggest hurdle. Pouya Karami, from Iran, planned to study in the US for its research, but the ban forced postponement.
The ban affected citizens from many countries. In Myanmar, a student, Gu Gu, saw his US plans ruined.
With the US closed, students sought alternatives. Saghari applied to European schools. Amir, an Iranian graduate, missed a US opportunity and now explores European options, expressing disillusionment. The loss of opportunity and shattered dreams are key themes, highlighting the ban's devastating impact.

Heartbreaking. This travel ban is a tragedy, robbing brilliant minds like Bahara of their chance to learn and contribute. The US is losing out.

A travel ban that stops creative minds is not helpful for anyone.

It's a difficult situation, but national security is the priority. We must protect our borders.

These policies are in place to keep Americans safe. It's a trade-off, but the right one for our country.
