Olympic runner Mo Farah decides to speak after the signing of the Donald Trump measure that prohibits access to the United States of immigrants and refugees in the next 120 days.

Farah, a British citizen born in Mogadishu, Somalia, lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where he trains for the famous Nike Oregon project with other runners. However, Trump's new order would mean that Farah would not be able to enter the United States for at least 90 days.

"On January 1 this year, Her Majesty the Queen made me a knight of the Kingdom," wrote the winner of the Olympic gold medal on his Facebook profile. "On January 27, President Donald Trump appears to have turned me into an alien. I am a Brit who has lived in the United States for the past six years - working hard, contributing to society, paying my taxes, and raising four children on site. they call home- ", he continues writing.

His emotional writing continues: "Now, me and many others like me are being told that we may not be welcome. It is very hard that I have to tell my children that daddy may not come home."

For those who do not know, Farah is one of the most recognized long distance runners in the history of athletics in Great Britain. He is married to Tania Nell and they have four children, who now see how their lives are affected by this criticized measure.
