On Friday afternoon, Donald Trump signed an executive order that banned people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States. Many, including Dale Earnhardt Jr., are speaking out against it.
Taking to Twitter, Earnhardt, who is one of NASCAR’s most popular drivers, spoke against ban, saying that, like many Americans, his family emigrated here as well.

Earnhardt’s voice joins those of celebrities, taxi workers and even Ford, denouncing the ban.
Earnhardt is the most popular driver in NASCAR, as The Charlotte Observer notes, and his supporters are applauding him for taking a stance.

I’m a Proud Southern Conservative White Guy(TM), but f*ck stereotypes all around. I just wrote my Congresspeople (all Republicans) urging them to stall Trump as much as possible, if not outright oppose him. If you want to reform immigration, great! But if you want to be an authoritarian asshole to everyone as part of this, please step aside and let the grownups make the decisions.
