By Bill Turque:"[Haitham] Hijazi, who was born in Syria, came to the United States as a young adult and is now director of permitting, inspections and enforcement for the Prince George’s County government.
Hijazi’s elderly parents, green-card holders for 20 years,
are caught up in the chaos touched off by Trump’s executive order temporarily
banning citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries, and refugees worldwide,
from entering the country.
“Hijazi’s six
children, four sons and two daughters, are all professionals, including one who
is an attorney and another who followed him into engineering.
There are also 15
grandchildren, part of a large extended family that has settled in Prince
George’s.
“Ultimately,
we’ve become 100 Hijazis,” he said. “All citizens here.””
