I've had many relatives who have wanted to leave Pakistan and settle in a foreign country, the favorite being the US. It was considered to be the safest place where you could be sure of one thing: you could never be deported for your beliefs. Now they must be thinking of going elsewhere, but with Europe being wary of letting more Muslims in, only Australia or New Zealand are possible choices, assuming of course that they too don't revise their policies.
Things have got so bad that many students with valid visas are told that they cannot stay in the country anymore. It won't be long before Muslims with valid US citizenship may also face deportation. I can imagine what will happen: a Muslim will be stopped for speeding or other offense, his cell phone will be closely examined and it will definitely contain a Whattsapp message or video which is critical of Israel or the US, or perhaps supporting Palestine. He would then be told to go back voluntarily or face deportation. I know that this is a bit far-fetched but I'm sure this will happen soon. So US Muslims, particularly those from Pakistan, should be extra careful.
