> We don't do BrExit here forcing (legal) residents out.

How about the Muslims?

We'll take them.

Among their many other contributions to the city, the Halal food trucks are a center-point of NYC's late night culture.

Please cite a reference where Muslims who are living in the US legally were forced out of the country.
Well, not forced out of the country, but Muslims visa holders were denied entry in the US on their way back from holidays:

And HN discussion of the previous link:

My understanding of BrExit is that Britain is asking people who have lived there for years to leave.

It is not all Muslim Visa holders, but from 7 countries that were determined by the Obama Administration to be a security risk to the US because they don't do adequate screening at their airports. For example, Turks can come to the US as can Muslims from Israel or anywhere else except those 7 countries.

The Visa issue is regrettable, but it is only temporary and the people will eventually be able to return. Those in the US can remain here and not asked to leave as in the case of BrExit.
