According to scientists, decree, firstly, discriminatory (document directed against the people, United into one group based on their country of origin); secondly, the decree detrimental to the national interests of the United States, as it limits the influx of talented scientists; third, the decree will lead to excessive load on community members, whose status in the United States will be reviewed.
