STORYLINE:
Travelers to Miami International Airport on Monday, the day a new travel ban entered into force, reported a calm and orderly process at customs.
Passengers with U.S. passports, permanent residence, and tourist visas all said they passed customs and border control with ease, even on flights from countries on the travel ban list, like Haiti and Cuba.
"When we arrived, there were not a lot of people. We were just going through the line. No one was asking questions. I didn't feel stress or anything," said Roseli Tejas, a permanent resident traveling from Cuba.
Some expressed concern that the travel ban, which limits the issuance of new visas, would prevent them from reuniting with their families.
“I'm affected by the ban because I can't bring my wife and son, who I had filed a claim for, and since they won't be given visas, they can no longer travel to the United States," said Alexis Gerardo Alvarez Diez, a permanent resident traveling from Cuba.
Meanwhile, other passengers said they supported the travel ban because it would increase the country's security.
