"but the US doesn't owe these people anything"

except for those Green Card holders and citizens returning from these countries who have a not unreasonable expectation that we gave them that they have a home here (and mostly, already, have a life here), right?

I don't think any US citizens got caught up in this. But yes, dragging people with valid visas and green cards into this is what caused the shit storm.

Yes, the way it was communicated was pretty terrible. The Trump admin was contradicting each other which I think fueled 90% of this outrage.
