James Corden records himself traveling after the Muslim ban, makes a powerful point

It's shocking how a video of James Corden getting through airport security with zero hiccups can make such an important statement.

The Late Late Show host recorded himself flying out of Los Angeles International Airport after President Donald Trump banned refugees and visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. In the clip, Corden passes a group of protesters as he enters the airport. He continues to record himself as he passes smoothly through security, eats a sandwich, and boards the plane.

Though seemingly innocuous, the video has a deeper meaning. Corden's video highlights the importance of free movement for all legal immigrants and criticizes racial and religious prejudice.
